I mean, I’m not planning to see it. It sounds like over three hours of beautiful underwater shots with the same basic story as the first. Not something that’s worth $20 and three hours to me. Assuming my impression is correct.
Where’s my Flan Loving Mad Scientist, Jim? Where is he?
If it's good I'll put it on streaming when I'm hungover or something

One hundred fucking percent this.
Three goddamn hours? Are you kidding me?
In this economy they have to give you more for your money if the economy was amazing movies would only be an hour but in this economy people want closer to 3 hours of entertainment when they go out . Be glad this isn’t a great depression if you don’t like long movies movies would probably be 5 to 6 hours in those scenarios . If too many people didn’t want to see a 1 hour movie or too many wanted to see 6 hour movie they could charge by the hour to balance it out
I let my pom watch movies at home but she might bark at the screen in the movie theater because it’s so big she is just used to the tv so she doesn’t bark at it she’s a good dog though
No. No, this is not an economy or a customer base thing.
This is studios' and film creators failing to write or edit coherent, complete movie stories that finish in two to two and a half hours maximum. If a story comes out longer than that, cut it up and make it a mini-series.
Also, Jr., I emplore you to edit your last post instead of making multiple ones in a row if no one else has posted yet in a thread.
During the last great depression they couldn’t make such long movies because cameras didn’t hold as much film. Now the cameras have hard dives so you can film much longer movies that’s why they make movies a certain length to match the economy now
personally I’m looking forward to the new avatar my mom and I are going to go and I think my neighbor will watch my pom 🐶
I thought they were making a joke about needing more movie for your ticket in this economy.
I want more than 3 hours.
Somehow, yes it incontrovertibly made money, apparently

I've definitely spent $10 on worse
There weren't really any iconic moments, imho. Lots of stuff that was fun to watch (and once scene that's brutal, and if you've seen it you know which one), and lots of beautiful set and creature design; but nothing in particular that makes you go, "Man, wasn't it awesome when ______?" Which isn't really a criticism, but might explain why nobody's really talking about it.
I can't speak to the use of indiginous stereotypes, mostly because I don't know enough about real-life indigenous cultures to know whether or in what ways the fictional ones in the movie were problematic. I'd love to hear a more informed take on that!
Jake Sully is much less of a white savior in this one, for what it's worth. He still winds up leading an army (navy?) of native people against white/human colonizers, but this time it's very much clear that they're the ones doing him a favor, rather than the other way around. (Jake is frequently a dumbass, in my opinion; but, as with many stories with a white male protagonist, I'm often unsure whether the movie wants me to think he's a dumbass, or if I'm just seeing it through an insufficiently patriarchal lens.)
Avatar: The Way of Water will be streaming on Disney+ on June 7th, and will be available on Bluray on June 20th.
