Oh Jahat

Was entertaining enough. Cliched script and plot. Just putting my stars in as there are many more dedicated to writing elaborate and dull critique. We can all ease up a bit. Its from a comic book.

Watch this if you want to be side-swiped by incredible seamless CG. We easily forget the Navi characters are all digital. Bless the animators who made this come to life as its surely a faultless labour of love. The wife/mother (Neytiri) arrow clash scenes are hands-down how Hawkeye should have been animated all along. Her voice acting is top notch and you feel for her despite her character clearly taking a secondary rol. Sully is dull, predictable and clueless, considering he was the ultimate hero in the first edition. Overall the movie (in its truest sense) was plodding, pandering and spent a heavy amount of time pandering extended action sequences. It certainly gives Michael Bay a run for his money. I suspect the director solidly finished a typical battle scene, got up, said 'meh' and then went on to just double the screen time. A bit fatiguing. Yes things blow up. We get it. Plot wise, unfortunate that the writers opted for a blue clone of the resident bad guy as this pretty much implies that the return of evil conflict is not only inevitable, but perpetual. I could not grasp the significance of S. Weaver in a tank and the role of her dvinely inspired daughter. I guess we have to wait for the sequel, hopefully though, not for another 10 years. PS : It also seemed too ridiculously easy (read : lazy) for the humans to just come back and start playing industrial -powered colonial trouble-makers again. All that for a whale flavored age-cream? Really? What was the point of the whole first movie then? We can just come back anytime we please with more ammo. Wait..ah yes..the CG and the pretty colors. Peace.
