I watched it on IMAX for the sake of its gorgeous visuals and it was just that, gorgeous visuals but nothing more. A lot worse than the first one. I cannot fathom how someone can come up with these ridiculous scripts and just go with it. I thought that high ratings from every possible media outlet would mean that it is a good movie but ooooh man, this is just absurd. I won't, not ever again, trust anything online, it's all biased.
I've rewatched Avatar 2009 before watching 2 and even though the first movie has nothing original regarding its script, they had time to build a world that we were interested in but they butchered what they had built with the lazy writing in the second movie. WHY WOULD YOU RESURRECT EVERY BAD GUY FROM THE PREQUEL AND SEND THEM TO GET AVENGE? Oh my god, I was so angry after seeing that scene, such a a dumb and lazy way to base your sequel, such a cheap move. I guess they though hey, let's bump up the visuals and put some bad guy in front who gets revenge from an innocent family so audience can get emotional and ignore this ridiculous script that no one has ever put an effort into. You can predict every scene because it is so obvious that I started to think that their target audience was teenagers, and it probably is.
Also, can someone explain to me why every one from that water tribe or whatever they are called just vanished at their last battle and left Sully family to fend for each other? There were hundreds of them fighting against sky people and they just vanished. At first I thought they all died but guess what, no other main character died at that battle scene, so I guess they were like, hell it's not our business, let's go back and get some rest while Jake fights for his family alone.
If I remove every script related scene from the movie and watch it like that, then 10/10 for its amazing visuals. It's like a 3D documentary about sea and its inhabitants. But if you watch it as a whole, then it's just junk food for people who want to pass time. That's about it.
