  1. DAMN YOU JAMES CAMERON! I assume its all part of a bigger plan to make sure interest in the movies dont decrease, but if he was capable of doing better, why did he not try harder with 2's script
  2. any non english reactions? I know the french have seen it, but im having trouble finding reactions
  3. Want to ask about that NWH did 230 in 2022 and january and the first half of february is arguably even emptier this year, is there any reason to expect a cameron movie with great wom and with no competition to do less than nwh?
  4. it was mostly just bad luck with the first batch, the ones who broke the embargo seemed pretty muted in general
  5. Think avatar 3 could also be about water a slight spoiler on what avatar 2 DOESNT do
  6. questions about HFR remain that wont be answerable till we've a decent amount of people who've seen the movie in both formats
  7. I have never seen that combo high 80s rt probably get you low 70 on mc at best think it could do low 90s rt and close to or at 80 on mc
  8. saw someone mention that quaritch was pretty well developed and another mention that the score was worse than the trailers implied while a third mentioned the weekends song was meh
  9. yeah no reason for me to doom, apart from a couple of individual critics who really did not like the 1st one, reactions from actual critics all seem pretty great, might be willing to revive a prediction for a MC score in the low 80's, the blogs who broke the reaction embargo had a pretty muted response to it, not sure what was at play there (I hope its not something stupid) still a bit dissapointing overall but im sure ill have a great time, both at the theater and here
  10. https://variety.com/2022/film/news/black-panther-2-first-reactions-marvel-1235412742/ ok im trolling, but never use a trades aggregation of reactions as proof of anything
  11. that was one the things I was wondering and what lead to the disclaimer in my long post; will the usual "reactions exaggerate quality relative to reviews" praxis still apply considering how many different people are seeing it ?
  12. I refuse (dooming is fun) and though of course im exagerating a bit, I say avatar 2 being just great, constitutes a failure since it probably cost us 2-3 cameron films
  13. stuart360 said: >I think 2bil is already locked bud, even if the RT score ended up int he 40's or 50's (and it wont). >The question is if it can get to 3bil and become the biggest of all time. yeah, but thats just meeting basic expectations, ive seen very little that would indicate it surpasses the expectations of those already hyped for it
  14. The first movie was a pretty amazing theater experience, but to me it was just another great movie, my "disney-will-cancel-the-mcu-in-shame"-tier expectations (which seems like they werent met) came from other factors that didnt really have to do much with the first movie; 13 years, cameron interviews, the /tv/ guy, the sheer magnitude of the whole undertaking, the box office potential of avatar but better, how personal it all promised to me, etc Heres why I began dooming as soon as I saw the first reactions; for a lot of people, not including me, but including my dad (probably his favorite movie) and some high profile critics, avatar 1 was more than just a great movie, it was something really special, in a way personal, and from none of the reactions, even the ones that rave the most, do I get the impression that 2 makes them feel the same It'll get its BP nom, it'll get its 2 billion, it'll get its fan fiction, but it wont be the new star wars and it (probanly) wont get 3 billion Of course its possible that fanboys wars have poisoned the well, and that general audiences adores it, but so far it seem James Cameron could have failed, failed both my expectations and the ones he set for himself (mostly through interviews) shame because I saw glimmers of hope in the 2nd released trailer ("the way of water connects all things" one) I will of course begin the avatar 3 shilling campaign shortly (blame Zoe Zaldaña for that) disclaimer: I am under the assumption that reactions and their relationship with both the final critical consensus and the opinion of audiences will be similar that of other movies thats the most damming review to me
