Avatar: The Way of Water

Despite being a very long movie Avatar: The Way of the Water at times is a superior sequel. That is more beautiful to look at “especially in IMAX 3D.” With some better action and adventure. The movie might even manage to make the Avatar haters fans. Even if James Cameron doesn’t have something so good on his hands. That he can drag it out to seven movies.

Sure, it's beautiful. That's said. But what else ? Not much. The story itself is a 95% copy of the first one, and can't say it was original either at the time. There's a whole universe there, but that was what came from the first one. There's basically nothing new here, except what they once did in the forest they now do in the water. It basically brings nothing new. Even the bad guys, that were dead, are the same. Instead of soldiers we mostly follow the adventures of the kids, which adds a lot of annoying stupidity to what happens. The only "new" thing the movie brings might be what's happening with Kiri, but it's obviously been kept for future releases and barely scratched here. Is it at least entertaining ? Meh. It could have been, but EVERYTHING is too long. You could cut 5 to 10 minutes of absolutely every single sequence. All of them, be they exposition, adventure, contemplation or even action scenes. Everything is too long.
