Avatar: The Way Of Water

[OLSinFLA]

I never root for movies to bomb. And I hope THE WAY OF WATER is great.

That said, I very much want to see other movies from Cameron (as director) before he's no longer around to make any more.

It won't. Seats are almost already gone for the weekend at most theaters

Got a good kick out of this

Lots of showings of this movie today for media and the review embargo lifts some time in the next today in the next 24 hours. Disney's trying to get this film out on the circuit as the Critics Choice Awards nominees are being announced within the next week and voted on currently and they expect The Way of Water to be seriously considered for major awards.

James Cameron finally not coming off arrogant:

Not so fast, Big Jim always finds a way:

He's never been someone to make a small indie film, which would be a less is more approach. He's always been a big tentpole kinda guy, thus "more is more" makes sense.

Social media reactions coming in:

Avatar: The Way of Water First Reactions Released Online

Thirteen years after the original film became the highest grossing movie of all-time and secured a Best Picture nomination, the much talked-about Avatar sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, is here. To make things even more exciting for the return to Pandora, the James Cameron-directed sequel had...

Will be interested where this rates with critics on RT considering i'm still seeing quite a few comments about a thin/weak story (although great final act).

Well.

I don't think you could ask for better reviews thus far than what Nick just posted or what I've seen. Excited to read the full reviews and see the flick next week.

Keep in mind the social media embargo lifted a mere 20 minutes ago (some people posted early) so there's still plenty to come in and I only posted what was on the comicbook.com link as that was the easiest way for me to find a bunch of reviews quickly.

Once the review embargo fully lifts is when we'll truly get to hear what people think in more depth.

I read somewhere that today was the end of the "reaction embargo" (How have we come to this... ) , and that the 13th the "full review" embargo lifts.

Anyways yeah, I was browsing the web myself to see what I can find for "reactions" and haven't seen anything really negative. Popped over here to see if there was any additional noise.

Color me excited for the flick though.

This reviews remind me of the first film....sure it will be good but.....I dont know its getting old seeing reviewers praises films just to months later crap on them or write another article about how movies suck now...after just having Avatar, Maverick and Black Panther 2

Avatar: The Way of Water First Reactions: We Never Should Have Doubted James Cameron

Critics on social media say the long-awaited sequel is a visually astounding technical marvel (as expected), but also a complex, emotionally resonant story with breathtaking action.

It’s actually insane how after 13 years of discourse about the irrelevance, weakness, etc. of Avatar, this movie is getting THIS much hype.

Guess Pandora at Animal Kingdom ended up being a pretty good gamble. Will be interesting to see what synergistic opportunities Disney comes up with to capitalize.

Just an FYI, if you are going to see Avatar 2 do not see it in ScreenX. The extra visuals are rendered at a much lower quality than the rest of the film.

Maybe they can do a quick turn around on the walkthrough experience with the animatronic Banshee.

I'm really surprised at all of the praise this is getting. I felt like I was watching video game cut scenes that didn't amount to much after three hours. Different strokes I guess...

I find it hard to believe you were invited to an early screening of the film.
