Everyone just wants to dogpile on the Avatar movies and I don't get why. It happened with Titanic too, which is coincidentally a James Cameron movie.
I like them. I think they're fun and entertaining and they're a fuckin joy to watch because of how gorgeous Pandora is. I'm excited for the 4th and 5th movies to see how this series will end up playing out. I also liked this third one the best.
You have to turn your brain off and just enjoy the eye candy. I think some people struggle to do that, which is fair, the films had terrible plots.
I mean... Generic maybe, but not terrible imo. I enjoy the story.
And tbh I fucking love Quaritch in the sequels. They honestly made him a pretty compelling character, and I'm really enjoying his evolution.
That's fine, but what is a terrible plot if not a generic, predictable one? In the second film, an entire army just disappears, I'd say that alone is pretty terrible writing.
I agree, the hate boner that people have for the Avatar movies is bizarre. Of the two movies this post is about the third Avatar was so much more entertaining.
I am stoked for the fourth and fifth ones.
IMO, the Avatar movies are art projects. People go in expecting something with a better story, but James' movies are artistically astounding and pushing the limits of current technology.
Pretty much. I still like the story, as I enjoy world building and nerdy shit like that, but I recognize that they're more kind of tech demos. Absolutely gorgeous and immaculate tech demos.
I thought the first two movies were very boring but I understand why people find a movie series about 10 foot tall almost naked cat people appealing. We've all dreamed about it.

look inside
90% digital effects
90% sounds low...
I feel like there is some mass mind control delusion thing going on. You're telling me everyone is going to see these but nobody talks about them?
Am I de only one who dislike Avatar? Even the very first one wore out in a few minutes...
Yeah
Well-deserved victory over quality-slop.
Ya but the real gas is that Zootopia2 has fully bested Avatar3 at the box office: (Boxofficemojo.com) Zootopia2 - $1.77 billion Avatar3 - $1.415
You mean, Avatar, Book Three: Fire? Wasn't the second one also a ripoff of Book One: Water? How is this entire series naming convention not a blatant ATLA ripoff?
