No. You said it had to do with masculine energy. I'm not going to apologize for requesting that Cameron actually make a good action film.

I'd say the same thing is Twain were writing a terrible, hokey book. Good thing for Twain is that he made hokey stuff somehow profound. But he's a true artist. Cameron has turned into a hack. It's disappointing when he has so much creativity, then pours into something so bland. Avatar is on the tier of the most generic science fiction films. No heart. No art. No fun. For all of his pomp, it's just a lifeless world built on the back of really good technology. Not sure why you love it so much. You said yourself, it's "ok." It's just so anti-climactic to the career that he was on.

It's the same thing as watching a sports figure we like blow his talent on drugs or hookers, etc. But in movies, at least Cameron can get paid I guess?

I don't "want Avatar to fail," I just prefer that Cameron spend his time on quality content.

I mean you keep literally proving my point over and over.

The ridiculous hate overwhelmingly comes from two camps, Marvel fanboys and the jaded lovers/haters.

You are CLEARLY the latter lol. You can’t stop talking about how mad you are he won’t do something else despite no interest in his recent work. Bashing him as a hack(I don’t think that word applies here, but you do you). You claim you don’t want him to fail, cool, you aren’t the pettiest version of that archetype, but you still clearly fit in the group lol by literally saying nuh uh and going on to repeat all the things I said describe that group besides I guess the failure part

Yes, it's fine

Just got out and glad I saw it in 3D imax because I don’t know I’d be willing to sit at home for 3+ hours to sit through the whole thing again after having watched it that way.

the movie had plenty of action. I don’t see how anyone can say otherwise unless they just want to see nonstop gore and fricking for it to be considered action.I can’t stand movies like that with zero plot other than gore and fricking though. seems like that’s most marvel movies I see made now just meant to appeal to marvel nerds and meatheads.

there’s no way you watched Avatar if you come away saying it’s not fun and there’s no art. How the hell could that be anyones take? This one was just as visually stunning as the first.

Hated all the tropes and cliches. From the military/marine group when they were first introduced to Neytiri’s hysterics to the teenagers. Nothing felt natural.

And then you have the odd motivation of the general wanting Jake found and killed… after he’s left and is no longer a threat. This is supposed to drive the whole plot right? Isn’t the Navi still fighting with a new leader? Or did they give up? Finally, there’s the hypocrisy of not hunting the big whales near the tribes knowing it would cause a rebellion… only to hunt them near the tribes to find one guy? Now you’ve caused a rebellion. Great. Well done. Truly genius tactics.

I was thinking throughout the movie, I haven’t heard the word “butthole” this much ever in a movie

I saw it in Dolby cinema. It has 4K dual projectors, and shaking seats. I almost pulled the trigger on 3-D, but my last experience was lacking. It was years ago, but still too dark and overall distracting. Apparently they have a Dolby cinema 3-D, but only 250 in the world, and don’t know where they are.

The movie had some weird motion, blur thing on, like some of the TVs do default from the factory. It was very distracting. Like the soap opera effect.

There's nothing profound in comments of emotional manbabies whining cause a person won't make the pew pew movies they want
