before clicking, my guess is

"it's visually awesome and incredible but the story is lacking and it doesn't need to be 3 hours and 20 mins"

am i close?

im sure the visuals look fucking great!

It will be the plot for Avatar 3 too. They will just recycle for each climate type til the main character recruits all the tribes for a final united battle against humans in the last movie

Pretty close. There are ones saying it's the best thing ever but a lot of those reviews are saying the story is shallow but the visuals are great.

The guy who played him in the first one is in it. He's even in the cast list.

No, it's "only" 3 hours 12 minutes :)

So, RT now at 80%, but what is interesting is that Metacritic is at 72 (which is an average). Usually, when RT is that "low", then Metacritic is closer to a 60. Must mean that many who like it outright love it.

It won't drop that much as already over 70 reviews. It will end mid to high 70s most likely.

Black panther wakanda forever was in the 90s at similar reviews, it ended at 84

I would bet on it being mid 70s but 60s is possible

Regardless, we are seeing it on Saturday, and I am excited. I just won't drink anything for at least 2 hours beforehand.

Babylon next week, and that's about the same length.

Actually not surprised by the reviews. Pretty much expected similar reviews to the first film. Mediocre story but ground breaking vfx and the tech behind it.

I think I said this in another topic, but boy oh boy people sure loved the 'Dark Avatar' plotline in Legend of Korra, so of course they'll go nuts for ah who am I kidding, no one on God's green earth is going to see this movie for the plot / writing.

The thing about the 1st Avatar was it was a huge deal to be a cool looking 3d movie as it was rwlatively new. The movie was ok other than the visuals.

Nowadays i dont care much about a cool looking 3d movie and the first wasnt very interesting.

I'm skeptical about the sequel.
What sold the first movie was the whole 3d gimmick.

I worked at a theatre when it first came out, so I heard about how great it looked all the times. When talking about the movie with people in general, I mentioned I saw it in 2d and didn't think it was anything special. The amount of hate I got was unreal. It was basically all "you didn't see it in 3d, so you don't understand how good the movie is".

No, I understand how good the movie is, which is pretty average. I'm judging it on the story it is telling. You can only talk about the visuals.
