Jesus, seriously? Mr. Edwards when you're in the vast minority compared to your "peers", and I use that term loosely, then you know you done fucked up mate.
There you are, beauty of the internet; don't even have to wait!!
For me, the film flew by, I could easily handle a three hour cut. Then again it's very different at home when you can press pause, put the kettle on, answer natures call.
Unless it's set in Middle Earth, I think anything over 2 hours is likely to turn viewers off.

Furious 7 and The Avengers 2 were like 2 hours and 30 minutes and have grossed over $1 billion! Though that said those films needed a lot of fat trimmed honestly.

The guy's a shill for The Mirror purposefully writing stuff like this as clickbait IMO. The points he made about the plot - it's an action movie, not a historical period drama. Then he dared to compare it to Waterworld, Doomsday and The Postman? Fuck him.
Waterworld, Doomsday, Postman; flawed movies but if Im honest, I found all of them enjoyable in their own ways.
I can honestly say I enjoyed Doomsday far more than Thunderdome.
I think Waterworld gets a bit of an unfair bashing at times, it's got some really good setpieces in it.
The Postman is very slow but I kind of liked the way they depicted the world in it, sort of like American civil war times.
I don't think any of these three movies are worse than Thunderdome, although certainly not as good as Fury Road.
I'm actually hoping that Fury Road kickstarts a resurgence of these type of movies, I think it may well fire up the reboot of Escape From New York which I for one am very eager to see
