Avatar: The Water Way, the positive reactions of those who have already seen Avatar 2

Collecting here and there the comments via social networks of the foreign criticism English-speaking who has already seen Avatar: The Way of Waterwe are faced with a generalized warm appreciation. James Cameron with Avatars 2 (And Avatars 3which he shot at the same time) is betting as usual but more than expected, in a commercial situation very different from that of thirteen years ago, when the first Avatars shocked the box office. It will be difficult for the second chapter to touch those 2,923,000,000 dollars in revenue, still absolute record in the history of cinema, with no update to inflation. However, the premises appear rosy.
According to those who have seen it, technically and visually it is aamazing experience who manages to up the ante on visual effects of the predecessor, while maintaining the technique at the service of the narrative. Joseph Deckelmeier of Screenrant talks about a film “that it looks like it was made on another planet“, literally. Erik Davis of Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes says: “Bigger, better and more immersive than Avatar: the images of this film they take your breath away, is visceral and incredibly engaging. History, entertainment, spirituality, beauty: cinematography and storytelling at the highest level“. Reelblend’s Jake Hamilton admits he didn’t love the first chapter much, but he loved this one, which he thinks is better. Josh Horowitz of the Happy Sad Confused podcast states: “Never doubt James Cameron, that’s how you make an epic blockbuster“.
The exaltation seems to come more from the audiovisual show that the work offers, but someone also points out that the story is more articulated and complex, with more characters.

Avatar: The Water Way, lukewarm reactions to Avatar 2

Yes, lukewarm, because indeed you don’t read bullshitso you have to look for some shade launched there by those who have expressed at least a few slightly more articulate opinions, within the limits of Twitter characters. The doubts seem to focus precisely on the characters. Digital Spy’s Ian Sandwell, while noting that he still enjoyed the film, says: “He suffers from a very subtle story and must juggle between too many charactersyet James Cameron holds it all together in a thrilling, action-packed close.” ComicBook.com’s BD says, “It has a better story than the first, with solid emotions, but the characters could grow a little more.”
Scott Mantz, a producer, says bucking the trend: “The story itself is weaker than the first one and feels stretched out over three hours and ten minutes, but it’s always good to watch and the last hour is crazy.” Empire’s Amon Warmann writes: “I liked it, i didn’t love it. […] Many character paths seem to proceed in fits and starts, and the high frame rate [i 48 fotogrammi al secondo, ndr] It doesn’t always work for me.”
Difficult to find a cutting judgment, ultimately, just some perplexity in a wave of positivity.
Let’s hope so, also for the future of the dining room experience that Cameron has always proudly embodied.
