Feels like there was at least a half hour of deleted scenes, but it also felt like it was full of padding
obviously visually spectacular and should really satisfy the avatar perverts out there
but also, as a sequel,extremely basic.
like the whole premise doesn't even make sense. the family was apparently really well holed up in the forest, and as soon as the new navi appear jake sully takes the family and runs to a place that is extremely unprotected. it's just a cheap excuse to go to water world.
I believe Jake expected Spider to give up their location and this would cause a lot of danger for everyone there including his family. So he decided to run. As it turns out, Spider never breaks so the forest would have remained mostly safe. The new location isn't as well defended but the idea was to not be found in the first place.
The part I didn't get is why the sky people bothered chasing Jake. After Jake ran, the attacks on the sky people would have become far less damaging. On the off chance they didn't, that means Jake wasn't the real problem anyways.

I thought the very ending sequence was the most egregious. We just spent a third of the movie becoming one with water and yet we suddenly have drowning as the looming threat? I thought the dad was going to win the fight by being able to stay under water longer which would have been a satisfying conclusion to that arc. Instead it dragged out another 15 minutes with the entirely unnecessary children rescue.
Or how about how the one child was the scientists daughter? Completely irrelevant and completely dropped. How about how the mother cut spider and the tension between them. That really could have been interesting. No, spider was ok abandoning his biological dad and was happy with the blue people again.
Some of this probably sequel setup, but its dumb setup. The movie is already over 3 hours.
That sounds fair. The daughter thing definitely sounds like a sequel hook to me. Spider is way too forgiving regarding nearly being killed. Although, that would just be a problem with the mom not all the blue people.

Just Kitty.
That's not how it is actually spelt.
