Well this is exciting!  All I wanted was for it to be better than the first and it seems like that might be the case!

it wasn't very difficult. the first one is beautiful from a visual point of view but the story

I love how everyone is praising the use of 3D here and recommend that format to people they know, Even the resistance to HFR seem calm down a lot, some even outrightly praising the HFR. 

 

Yes, see Avatar 2 in 3D, That is how the movie is scripted.

Wasn't very hard to outdo the highest grossing film of all time... which literally only james cameron could have made.

Nice, Evangelista is reviewing for SlashFilm 

 

Probably 75-80 from him since his main complain is just being long

Moderation: Please refrain from baseless commentary on shills and paid, biased critics. The movie is getting very good reviews, that should be good enough for fans to enjoy without engaging in nonsensical fanboy nonsense.

The footage they chose for this sneak, once again, looks sensational. Jury's out on the song imo, though I love the choral overlays.

So great to see how much Cameron has grown as a leader and person. A guy with his enormous success, it would've been easy for him to stay stuck in his ways, but he's always seeking to improve. Kate Winslet used to be critical of his behavior on set and said she'd be reluctant to ever work with him again, but she's had nothing but incredibly nice things to say about how he treated everyone this time. This is what Cameron was referring to with his testosterone comments that so many were freaking out over. It was just his usual colorful way of saying he's mellowed out now, not that he literally wants to eradicate testosterone from the human body.

"I loved doing Avatar with Jim—he is much more calm now. In those days there was no space for him to say, ‘It might not work.’ He had to make it work. There were all those conversations about this huge film, Titanic. I can’t imagine the pressure. As we get older we learn how to say, ‘I made a mistake.’ We all get better at that, don’t we?”

The story was better than 95% of all MCU stories and those dont get specifically trashed for weak stories. What did you want Avatar to be about? Do you want an Avatar version of Tár?
