    I found the last one quite dull. Pretty to look at, but predictable and cliche. I have no desire to see the next one.

    I still don’t understand who the Avatar fanbase is. Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel, etc. there fanbase is loud and present. Have you ever run into an Avatar fan in the wild? Not to cast aspersions towards the fanbase, I just don’t see who these movies are being made for. I feel like people are going to see them because of the novelty of the graphics.

      I liked the first movie. But I wouldn’t call myself a fan of Avatar.

      It felt a little self-indulgent when the marketing was all “This film took 10 years to make,” And he plans a whole series of them years later.

        I also liked the first movie, but I have to say A2 was bad… really bad, its the 1 and only James Cameron movie I really dont like and would never watch again. I hope he gets his Mojo back on A3 or just moves on to other projects
