Like the original, 2022's AVATAR presents a kaleidoscope of breathtaking images (at least in the 3D version). It was 90 minutes too long, however. James Cameron is a self-indulgent character who has made a Hobbit-length monstrosity. Yes, it demonizes America and romanticizes the beautiful savages of Pandora; but mostly this movie is boring and without drama. My advice for those who enjoy psychedelic fantasy is this: Watch the first thirty minutes, go out and have dinner, and return for the final ten minutes.
Cameron probably figured that by having the whites play bad people he was inoculating himself against charges of racism. I saw the first one and it was just awful - the story, not the visuals. I won't reward him with another dime.

Excellent as always. Darn predictive speller: "one can never be *work* enough". :-)
Got it, thanks.

I think I will pass on this movie-do not need more WOKENESS! I heard that Disney stocks are also down?
Yep. The movie is failing to meet box office expectations.
And it was ridiculously expensive to produce!
I agree with Charles.
