Based on your review breh I’m gonna skip it

Haha. Did come off as kind of bad lol. Hard to explain I liked the movie but it had some bullshyt. It’s a must see for the spectacle alone. Didn’t think they could top the feeling of seeing Avatar one the first time but this looks way better.

Watching people try to step on this movie and give it 4/10 ratings while pretending to have absolutely no underlying motives is so funny.


Like really, be realistic. I understand if it wasn’t your cup of tea, but a 4? That’s like Deuce Bigelow levels of bad. Stop the cap.

The story could have been the most standard formulaic story of all time and the visuals alone would carry it to at least a 7.

Just say you didn’t like JC’s Marvel criticism and leave it at that

When legitimate film critics were giving this movie 1 or 2 stars I knew something was off.
I read the reviews and they were bashing the movie just to bash it.

One criticism I read this wa was the same story beat by beat. That's already a lie.

Avatar 1 and 2 have some similarities, but beat by beat? No way

The first Avatar was simple and optimistic
Way of the Water felt more complex and darker

Yes both movies have flaws, but it doesn't deserve worst movie of all time type of reviews

Right? I’m saying…


Is it the greatest movie ever made? Not at all. It’s probably not even my favorite movie of 2022

But people trying to Razzie this like it’s Soul Plane are being so disingenuous.

Colonizers are upset that it portrayed them as the demonic barbarians they truly are. Amazing how when you hold a mirror up to peoples faces they refuse to see the reflection.

Visuals were amazing.

Didn’t love any of the characters.

Story line has been done numerous times but it was fine for the point Cameron was trying to prove.

Loved the Moby dikk sub plot.

Writing could have been better but I had low expectations anyway.

Good graphics/cgi. Best I ever seen.

Everything else about the movie is stupid and laughable.

The first avatar still kinda holds up today (story/acting/cgi) but once these other studios get their hands on the technology this movie uses this movie gonna be laughable to watch at best.

:what: This series is literally about a white man who goes native to get laid, then falls in love and decides to become a native himself and ends up becoming the GREATEST native warrior and leader of the natives, leading them to victory. He out-natives the natives. Its colonizer propaganda.

One of hollywoods favorite tropes

I think we are saying the same thing. Story has been done hundreds of times.

The thirst for knowledge
