'Why no one cares about a sequel to the world's most successful movie'

[MisterCreosote]

This is a pretty nice way of saying it's because the original Avatar actually sucked and no one realized it at the time since it was pretty to look at:

Avatar: why no one cares about a sequel to the world's most successful movie

I'll admit I completely forgot these sequels were even planned.

The movie was garbage, doesn't even hold up to a single repeat viewing.

Avatar was all about the visuals and life like 3D with zero thought to the actual story. It was a rehash of Fern Gully with a bit of Dances With Wolves. Unless you have a literal movie theater in your home, you aren't rewatching it.

I feel like James Cameron missed the boat on a sequel and (what is it 4 follow ups?) seems excessive.

Never saw it. [cross-thread]

I don't think I've ever talked to someone who liked Avatar.

 

[Starman]

I thought "The Abyss" was great and "Titanic" pretty good, even if overblown.

Never had the slightest interest in "Avatar" or any sequels. None.

 

[TyWebb]

True Lies is criminally underrated.

Avatar sucked.

 

[MisterCreosote]

The thing about Avatar was that the story sucked, but the Pandora universe was pretty fully realized. If he had stuck to just showing a cool alien world with great special effects, it would've been so much better. Kind of like a National Geographic documentary.

Either the first or second sequel, for example, was allegedly supposed to take place entirely in Pandora's oceans.

Ya know, the first time I saw both Heat and The Abyss in theaters, I thought they were too long. I now enjoy every moment of both.

 

[Starman]

I even like the extended edition of "The Abyss." Makes the Water aliens a little more badass.

Love love love Heat.

Love love love Heat.

read an interview with Pacino that his character was written as a cokehead. They still had him play him as one, they just didn't spell it out clearly.
