While it is a long movie it didn't feel like one. Also didn't feel like a good movie or a good sequel. Most of the setup from the first movie is thrown away in the first scenes. Plot is simple but okay (possibly one of the good things of this movie is that the plot wasn't overly complicated). What drags this movie down is the way the plot advances and dialogue that feels like it could be written by anybody (I could guess what characters where going to say or do for pretty much every scene). What was most annoying to me was the fact that whole messager of Avatar movies is connection to nature and life, but some of the best scenes in this movie are of death and murder - Neytiri shooting her bow, shootouts, hunts... It felt disgusting at one point, especially during the hunt for tulkuns. Also none of the characters seem to feel any remorse after those events, except maybe Spider. Characters do not grow or change - Jake Sully still uses a gun, soldiers are 1 dimensional as possible, kids have 1 trait... Nitpick - Jake Sully didnt seem to know what a moon pool was...
Overall not a really good movie, pretty and nicely paced, but that's about it. It is more frustrating than fun. Titanic scene at the end was good :)
