I was gonna give this a watch but I just ... can't be arsed. I just struggle to see any reason why this has a near three hour run time. Maybe I am wrong, and it fills that time perfectly. But the Mad Max films are hokey action flicks at the end of the day. Should be under two hours. I've seen it twice now, and until you posted this it never occurred to me that it was that long. After looking it up, it's not – it's about 2:15 excluding credits – but it doesn't feel it. Could do with a trim here and there, but it moves pretty swiftly. Of course, one of the problems the movie has is it's really not a Mad Max movie. It's a movie and it's set in the world of Mad Max (and has a Max cameo), but it shares very little of the Road Warrior/Beyond Thunderdome/Fury Road DNA and is more of a character piece in the same vein as the 1979 original.

Oh, the website I checked put it at over 2:30. Which, sat at home, I just can't be arsed with. I've always said action movies should never be over 1:30.
