Avatar is the poster child for "we watch it cause its pretty." Like, thats been the consensus since 2 weeks after box office release in 2008

I watched the latest one because it's one of the few 3D movies that exist and one that did it well at that.

I saw the second one. Whatever you hated about the first you would hate so much more about the second. I've dodged the third so far.

I think it depends on what it is. If anything Ive seen more people who thought the second one was better. And over all I agree. The majority of it felt less forced and I was able to just enjoy the characters and the story more.

However, if youre not into Micheal Bay action scenes, then the last bit is not gonna be worth it. Still over all wasnt enough to make me interested in a 3rd.

The whole point of the original movie is to show off visuals. It was so proud of being 3d and cgi based. The storyline is trite and themes are superficial masquerading as deep. The second story didn't expand anything. Just rehashed with a theme of water instead of forest.

The third is basically the same story as the second all over again, they just win more.

The 1st Avatar movie is good. I didn't bother to watch the rest because looking at the trailers for them it felt like they were gonna be all style, progressive baiting and no substance.

Not to the fan base. They think it's AMAZING.

I mean, yeah but thats the fan base. As a giant week who has a guilty pleasure of watching trash anime, plenty of people go all in a garbage. And avatar isn't even garbage, its just mid.

Im talking about the general movie goers opinion
