especially Hamlet which, good lord, does not need to be four hours long

It's four hours long because he went full-text. The full text itself takes four hours to perform (although Will himself probably would have cut some scenes out to save time at any particular performance). I think Branagh's version is the only film version that doesn't cut anything out, which is probably worth something (if only for high school English teachers, at the very least).

oh no, I am aware of that (it runs to approximatively 4000 lines, making it the longest play by a stretch), I just think - as you said - just because it IS four hours long, doesn't mean it NEEDS to be, that's just bad storytelling. By the way, Hamlet is my favourite play ever in the world ever, so I say this advisedly - even I would get restless sitting through uncut versions of scenes like Polonius and Reynaldo in 2.2 (I think it's 2.2).
