They aren’t great movies, but they translate well and perform really well in overseas markets. The previous entry made over two billion dollars worldwide.

I saw this on reddit, commented and got torn apart by Avatar fans. I had no idea they had any! I will say it here, the series no one asked for and most can’t remember it until someone mentions it. That says everything about Avatar.

Another one? Hasn’t Cameron mapped out about five in total? :-)

2 of the 3 highest grossing movies of all time are bound to have a few fans.

It’s strange how in some circles, people love to hate on massively popular movies and things millions of people love and look forward to. So weird.

I wouldn’t say hate, but they are entirely mediocre movies, at least the first one, never bothered to watch the second one, that’s how little I care about it.

Is it the story that determines how much you enjoy a movie?

I thought this was the good Avatar based on the subtitle and that it was going to be a prequel of sorts chronicling the first wave of attacks by the fire nation. I was hoping this would be the beginning of a series of movies that would be better than the other attempts.

Zoe Saldana as Katara can’t be any worse than the nepo baby in the M. Night Shyamalan train wreck.

I’m a fan. I’m looking forward to the third movie. I don’t get the hate. You don’t like it, you don’t watch it - you’re obviously not the target group. I don’t go to discussions about films I don’t like just to say I hate them. I also don’t think just because I and my bubble don’t like something that automatically means noone does. I don’t get this approach.

They are shiiiiiit, for sure. The only thing is the 3-D. I can remember the first one, watched it at home. The second one, I watched in theater and only remember the 3-D.
Now FernGully, I remember.

While the story can be a bit bland or even cringy, the movies have a lot of visual appeal. I’m not surprised they do well.
