I don't like the first one, which wasn't that original
"Avatar" Sequels Delayed...does anybody care?
- Thread starter RoJoHen
- Start date
I can't think of a major movie that I hated more than Avatar. Yes it was successful, but I found myself rooting for the humans.
If the fate of an entire planet hinged on whether or not to blow up a tree, that tree is twigs.
It was a desperate situation for Earth, so it wasn't hard to sympathize with the humans.
I probably won't bother with the sequels, when or if they come out.

Yeah Avatar was on TV the other day - it hasn't held up that well, it's really not that great of a movie. It's actually pretty stupid.
Having the sequel(s!) be so delayed definitely isn't the wisest move either. Who cares about Avatar now other than those idiots that got Avatar tattoos? Dare I say when the sequel(s!) get released they'll......
FLOP!!!!

FLOP!!!!
Has he directed an actual movie (not a documentary) since Avatar?
I don't think he has.
I don't think anyone is arguing that Avatar wasn't a monster financial hit, but for me, the movie was not that good. His decision to make humans the villains didn't really work for me, especially since I liked the villain so much.
For me, Avatar is the story of a brave colonel, fighting to save humanity, who was betrayed by one of his own. A tragic story.
Didn't they announce four of them? Maybe he's going for "most flops in a row" record.
Avatar (2009) was his first "actual movie (not a documentary)" since Titanic in 1997. And it did fairly well. So I don't see what point you're making if you're trying to knock him (apologies if you're not)
And the humans messed up their planet all on their own. That's like a cancer ridden patient who their whole life has smoked 20 a day and it's totally their own fault, trying to steal the lungs from an innocent, healthy person and not caring what happens to them in the process. I know who I'd side with.

Very true. I was just channeling that guy who used to say FLOP!! all the time.
Considering the dire situation our planet is in and that we now have a president who is racing us as fast as possible into exploiting every last inch of it until it's just as much of a shelled out husk as it's described in Avatar, your attitude doesn't surprise me.
Where on Earth did you get that impression? The message was clearly anti-greed.
Weren't the scientists the good guys?!
^Less "anti-military" more "anti-ex-military turned corporate security".
Hairsplitting I know, but it's significant because it circles back to the greed thing.
As for sequels...I don't feel like they left us with a story only half told or anything, but I'm open to whatever Cameron has in mind.
His lack of credibility when recommending other people's Terminator movies notwithstanding, as a filmmaker and a storyteller he still has a very high batting average. I mean it may not be Shakespeare but his work is always entertaining.

Easy there, Barney. The title of the movie doesn't relate to him as The Terminator. Unless, of course, you can prove it. Fancy a challenge?
James Cameron have revealed that Stephen Lang's Col. Quaritch will return as the main villain for all four of his planned Avatar sequels.
He also said that the four movies are "one big story", and "a greater narrative broken up into four complete stories".

Thoughts:
- I'm excited about the Avatar universe. Can't wait to see more of it.
- Have your dead one-dimensional villain be the villain of all four films? That's just great. I'm not watching.
- I love Stephen Lang. It's going to be good.
- Start filming now or I will post an opinion on Facebook that the sequels are not getting made. Cameron, you have been threatened! I'm not waiting until 2021. If you don't make it until then, I will get an advance copy and watch it.
- I hate arcs. I'm boycotting this sad Lord of the Rings wannabe.*
- No word on Grace? If she doesn't return, I will be sad.
