I am sooooo effing tired of sitting through those nonsensical production company logo animations at the beginning of films. None of them seem related to the company name or logo. WTF are they thinking? 🙄

I like them, they build a bit of suspense before the start of the film and help settle me into the right mindset for watching.

Yeeep. Theres also some comedy skits about this mocking how long they go on and how pointless they are. This critique has been going on for a long time now.

Especially the ones that look like the beginning of a movie.

It’s not just you. It’s ridiculous how many production companies it takes to make a movie now. I timed one intro when I got particularly pissed off and it was TWO MINUTES before the actual credits started. All so each company could play their cringe little animated intro before the movie started.

We need a "Skip Intro" button for movies as well.
