I can empathize with complaints about the movie feeling long and unnecessary in parts, but on whole the I appreciated the breathing room those scenes offered.
Chris Hemsworth ought to be nominated for best supporting actor. Two-thirds through the movie I was legitimately wondering when he was going to show up, like a child of Dementus or something.
Theatre was more than half full, for what it's worth.

Good post. A lot of prequels feel like they shrink their world with too many connections and Easter eggs, but Furiosa greatly expands the Mad Max wasteland world. Didn't mind any of the slower parts as there was still plenty of action and this helped with the world building. Reminded me a bit of Kill Bill, an epic revenge tale where a lot of the action is earlier in the story with the final act being more subdued and character driven.
Hemsworth was great, especially in the 2nd part when he was pretty much the lead. I really enjoy the over the top villains in the Mad Max series embracing their crazy.
