Avatar: The Way of Water

[Wor-Gar]

I don't need reviews or ratings... the movie will prove itself or not over time. Usually not very much time.

 

[Zurdo95D]

I'm gonna go watch it this weekend hopefully!

Khev what do you think of people trying to convince you that the movie you love because it has traditional strong family values with organic family dynamics and old school action set pieces is a downright failure soley based on social media scoring metrics….

What say you….

Funny review - but sadly on point:

 

[Wor-Gar]

That was hilarious.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I think Avatar 2 is the third best sequel James Cameron has ever made, behind T2 and Aliens.

Better than T2...

Bah! He claims to be a lifelong James Cameron fan and yet after two weekends of Avatar 2 delighting audiences he's still at home, washing his tights!

The fact that in 2022/2023 Cameron is still in this discussion tells you everything you need to know about the man and his pedigree.

It boggles the mind but once again he proved that you never, ever bet against Cameron.

 

[Wor-Gar]

never, ever bet against Cameron.

Never.

But I think I may have outgrown him.

Isn’t this movie like mostly CGI? The total opposite of old school action set pieces? Unless you think Pandora is real, which based on your reading comprehension in the few interactions I’ve had with you would not surprise me.

I’m not sure why you are always claiming these things that aren’t spoken or can’t have a conversation. Nobody is saying this movie is a total failure. It failed for me, but did not fail in a general sense. The discussion was about the lasting pop culture impact, which I don’t think it has. And that is a fair critique of this franchise. It is going to make money because they are marketed as an ”event” and then the event ends. It is a well made film, very meh to me, and won’t stand the test of time. You are free to enjoy it but you don’t have to be a jerk or make fake arguments.

His pedigree, or lunacy? First the testosterone comments, now this:

I don't know what's in the water in Hollywood, or who they're trying to appeal to with all of their regrets and apologies, but whatever is going on it's clearly messing with their heads. Spielberg is now wanking on about regretting he made Jaws - they've all lost the plot.

This thing still has to make 2B to break even - it's a long way from a success (so far).

 

[Mandible]

That was hilarious.

The bit with Cameron wanking on about how he cries every time he sees it? Okay? Having seen the film, Cameron must be a very sensitive soul as I have no idea what he would be crying about every time he sees it? The son, bit? So forced and unnatural it was on the nose. The beauty? Maybe for the first 5 minutes?

"I" was crying (with laughter) at his hubris.

Edit: I've got it! He was crying at how appalling the acting of the Australian boat guy was!!!!

This thing still has to make 2B to break even - it's a long way from a success (so far).

The production budget for AWOW was $350 million. No way did they spend 1.7 billion on advertising. The prevailing assumption with regard to Cameron's "2 billion to break even" comment was that it was in reference to all the sequels combined.

I keep hearing about this terrible "boat guy". For those who did like the movie, is he a terrible actor and/or character?

He's a **** actor - been around for years. Can't act his way out of a paper bag.

Any of the cliched big name Aussie actors would have crushed it compared to this clown; Jackman, Bana, Pierce, Edgerton, Ledger (RIP), Hemsworth, and they're just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Cowell has never cracked it big because he doesn't have the chops/presence.
