I know it’s heresy to diss Avatar on the Fern but I’m no great fan. Great visuals as you say but a plot lifted from countless other tired old films.
All sizzle and no steak is my view.
I didn't know that, I think because I've avoided discussions as I didn't want any spoilers.
They showed some footage from the next one at the end which didn't make me excited about seeing it.
@voodoo Now's your chance to go see it at the cinema in 3D again. Event have half price Tuesdays.

What the hell? It's been ridiculed here countless times, and rightly so!
It's a laughably terrible movie, and the only way I'll watch a sequel is if it begins with earth glassing "Pandora" with relativistic speed asteroids.

Maaate. Have you forgotten all the fapping about the groundbreaking SFX and how amazing it was at the beginning? There may have been a degree of revisionism since but nowhere near enough for my liking. I will only be convinced otherwise if I now see a slew* of bad reviews here immediately.
*I am the sole arbiter of what constitutes a slew.

@Catogrande Sorry, I only remember myself shitting on it! Maybe because I waiting until the blu-rips were available to torrent.

@voodoo He is a moron, a traitor, and portrayed by the worst actor in living memory. God damn that movie was stupid. I spent half of it laughing.
A traitor to who? He saved a race of people , and he commanded the bestest flying dinosaur-thingee in the land.
Then he got the (slightly elongated) girl
Legend

I think you may have seen the remastered and according to James Cameron (at least visually) better version?

Sam Worthington is an actor? I thought he was a breathing household appliance...
BUT..
Side eye at Tim's avatar... -

I'm a Weta and CGI fan. I even like some of James Cameron's movies and docos.
Avatar was a mickle* of hippie-in-space xenoarchaeological cliches, a borrowed pastiched mess where the CGI outacted the human actors (apart from Weaver and Lang, but they were ingloriously wasted in this movie).*I see your slews and raise you a mickle.

A traitor to who?
That planet called earth!
Just because he got his dick sucked and put his tail in a blue horses' vagina, that doesn't stop him being human. He would've been easy pickings for a pretty fraulein in WW2.
He was blinded by blue alien pussy (and that weird horse stuff). Scumbag.

Confess Fletch. The reboot of the Fletch movie series from the 80's with Chevy Chase. Now set in the 2020's staring John Hamm who is perfect in the role. Comedy/mystery with a good plot and lots of laughs. Some great one-liners "maybe someday I will understand sex from behind"
