      The last one made over 1 billion. It is more accurate to say everyone wants more Avatar movies.

          I had the same feeling after the first one after delaying watching it for 15 years. It’s really not a good movie. I don’t get the hype.

            Even most people who say they like it can’t name a single character. They might name an actor, but a character from the world? Mostly crickets. It’s really the weirdest franchise. I think people just like going to James Cameron’s virtual worlds. 🤷

              He could probably do a nature documentary set in that world for cheap and people would pay to see it.

              It would spare us the tiresome dialog.

            I enjoyed the first, in the cinema in 3d, it felt designed to be watched in 3d, rather then the tacked on bullshit jumpscare the rest of the 3d era movies were

            …it was the first (and one of the few) well-produced modern 3D film and mustered a plurality of its box office return on the hype surrounding that novelty…

      It’s amazing how everybody on the internet acts like the movies suck, but they’re some of the best selling movies of all time. I love them. Especially the 3rd.

        I think they suck story-wise, and are quite lazy with the overall plots, but they’re gorgeous and innovative, and have surprisingly good acting for the shit those people must have to go through, so I’ll continue watching and rewatching them even though I still think they suck. The visuals and world-building are what keep me coming back. It’s a very weird franchise, but it makes sense that people have such a love/hate relationship.

        Get rid of the human characters and make it all about Pandora and it’d be pure gold IMO.
