Is rewatchability ever a factor in making a movie? (lemmy.ca)

I'm thinking of Jet Li's Hero. It's totally decent as a movie, but I think it's almost un-rewatchable. Not because the ending is known, but because of the super long flashback scenes. Many of which focused on long, colourful, extravagant, not really even relevant to the story, scenes.

I think the movie would be much more rewatchable if all that time was spent on

the standoff between Jet Li's character and the king and things like that.

I wouldn't go that far. There are plenty of movies that you can rewatch and simply enjoy the journey, story, etc.

*I think I misread your comment.

Id say a big thing for me personally is finding those little details the writers and directors add in that you really only see upon seeing a second, third, or ninth viewing of a film.

Same goes for shows with long overarching stories that have clever details seasons prior.

That's okay.

Relevant to the topic some movies I think are infinitely researchable would be the original two Ghostbusters movies, Clue, Rocky Horror Picture Show and Jurassic Park. Couldn't think of any modern movies off the top of my head.
