From his review:

"You might recall that at the end of the last film, the Earthlings were dramatically sent packing from Pandora. Well, it turns out they just came back a year later."

 

This is totally false and a big mistake.
It is well known and even reiterated by various materials, statements, Avatar comics The High Ground, etc., that humans return 14 years later.

 

I mean... how can I believe the opinion of a guy who blatantly doesn't even seem to have followed the most basic events of the film?

 

He also said he had trouble telling the characters apart because "the Na’vi all look so similar." So his review is a fair warning for people with severely impaired vision.

hope you discovered the fact that QoS is secretly the 2nd best craig era movie

3rd after CR and Skyfall for me, but it’s really good I agree.

felt artificial if that made sense

Should be fixed now. There was a setting accidentally turned on that kept new Copper accounts in the free (with ads) category for  the secondary member group.

Cheers Shawn. Fixed now. 

 

I blame Robbie Collin at the Telegraph.

Feels like reviews were in line with expectations, and that they rather just affirmed that this is a straight up sequel to Avatar in that it seems to be very similar to the first in terms of story, visuals, etc.

 

so, here is my thing… So that we can keep the discussion going for another 10 pages…

 

are the reviews good enough to give it a final bump for pre-ticket sales? Because a lot of the reviews almost feel like confirmation biased. The glorious reviews are going to appeal to the people who already want to see the movie. And are already #TeamCameron.  The negative reviews say that it is super beautiful, but there is nothing beyond that. Which also feels like criticism that’s been lobbied against all of the trailers for the past couple months.

 

so what I’m saying, is, it feels almost like a wash. I’m just wondering if people think that as well, or if I am just on my own little island?

You know Disney rooting for Morocco tomorrow. France-Argentina would turn this into the international version of Age of Ultron opening weekend. FIFA may be getting a bribe from James Cameron this time.

Wouldn’t Morocco be more intriguing because they’ve never been there before? Or are people just assuming that the Argentinian team is gonna walk over them? Or am I just thinking that Morocco is more interesting, because I’m rooting for them?

QoS --> Spectre and NTTD (too long and too cluttered with plot, and didn't balance the wacky with the serious very well). Olga Kurylenko --> all except Eva Green, and Mathieu Amalric always underrated.

I don't know about the World Cup but if it's like most other sports, underdogs from small cities/countries are bad for ratings. I expect France would get higher ratings. But most fans will probably watch for Messi regardless.

How long is the World Cup again,.. Not possible for those to Catch Avatar and watch the CUP? Is it an all day Soccer Venture. Been so long since I talked to World Cup Enthusiasts :)?

I'd put it this way; 

The reviews are good enough for "it's badly reviewed" or "its reviews are mixed" narratives to not take place which could prematurely dampen passion for it for those who kind of want to see it,, and those who are on the edge. It should have no negative impact on ticket sale and allows later WOM from general audience to fully take effect.

Meh, reviews seem okay. Definitely won’t have the wom/3d novelty of the first one. Will still make decent money bc there’s very little competition right now.

Finally finished my rewatch of Avatar.

 

It was fine.

[NCsoft]

Do we think there might be enough reviews out there to drag this MTC score back to 70?

I do not like this 69 number.
