Ah that peter bradshore fella already said he hated it in a tweet. Also please do not reveal spoilers from the reviews thank you

[JustLurking]

Does not seem off to a good start.

Today I learned that "james cameron does it again" means totally different things to different people

I saw a guy whos reaction was "never bet against JC" giving it a 7/10

First time in a while i’ve seen a big franchise film get warmer reception with highbrow critics than the nerd press

Is it decent? 👩🏻‍💼

It's decent but I think lower than many people here were expecting. Not really screaming best movie material.

Besides it will increase/decrease over time as its still too early. It's already at 75

the lady that got her comment section taken over by 4chan avatar fans being racist hated it

Remember the first one was a great VFX movie but in terms of story and character was average. Don’t see why that would change

yeah it's great, a 78 finish would be fantastic. let's see though 😂

Jim has really gotta start fixing these writing problems going forward, but whoops probably already too late.

Looks like 70+% on RT and 55+% MC

 

Nerd critics will bring the score down heavily. Like the collider review reads like a A something, but gives only B+. A marvel movie of the same level would have gotten A something.

 

Avatar 2 will get that harsh treatment but by the time Avatar 3 releases will have more favourable reviews compared to the last one.

Yeeeeeeup

 

Avatar 1 had low 80s, surely that should have been the baseline expectation here? (I don’t frequent this thread so I have no idea)

[Firepower]

Eric's pan didn't age well I see, what a surprise. Anyway, as long as it has Jim Cameron's magic, it'll do great with audiences and box office.

[Lucas]

The 1/5 from Robbie Collin has come in.

[marveldcfox]

RT is going to be worse than first one it seems. First one started with a bang and dropped to mid 80s over the years. 

This is faltering out of the gate. Oh well. I will watch it but hype has taken a hit.

[Saul Goodman]

Lot of mixed/negative reviews than I expected. Looks like they really gotta work on the script of these.
