Though the scenery was beautiful and fun to watch on the nice large 3D screen; it lacked the magic of the first film when you visited Pandora for the first time. *** SPOILER ALERT *** This time the film didn't offer anything new besides introducing us to Jake Sully's family. Then reintroducing us to a former villain in a new "skin" who is brought back to life, wrecking havoc just like in the previous film. Several key factors are left unexplained as well, such as the oxygen tanks... do those ever run out?? Who is the girl's father? Or how does transferring the mind of a dead body to an avatar work? Doesn't that create certain plothole to the story? However, what really made me dislike this movie is the unnecessary prolonged scenes. Yes, some scenes dragged out just to show off the CGI enhanced scenery but other scenes dragged on just to create suspense, which felt forced... Some of the characters made contradictive decisions, only to later switch their earlier opinions or decisions in an on-off manner without any acknowledgement of the past decisions. Jake Sully's wife is seen being all friendly with Spider, even though she had tried (and almost) killed him in the previous scene... yet everyone is cool about that and acts like that never happened?? In conclusion, the first Avatar film felt based on science-fiction, whereas the sequel seems mostly based on pure fantasy and less on science as the first film. If I am honest, the sequel was a let-down from what I had expected; but I can't blame it for being one of the highest grossing films of all time and one of the most anticipated films of the decade. If you like films about family, then this is definitely the film you've been waiting for! However, this film could've been replaced with real-human actors instead of blue CGI Avatars and the film wouldn't feel any different.

This movie honestly feels kind of bland. The action sequences were great but the story and dialogue was as if a 5 year old made the movie. The fourth installment was definitely better than the previous film in the franchise, though I must say John Wick 1 and 2 were better than John Wick 4. Spoiler Alert: The ending leaves you wondering about the future of the franchise. The way they ended Joh Wick's story, feels kind of unfinished. I won't say much, but I have a feeling this isn't the last time we will see Keanu Reeves as John Wick, but possibly as a cameo or as a side-line character.

Poor Unfortunate Remake - this movie throws out all the magic from the original animated film in exchange for poor performances from the likes of Melissa McCarthy as an octopus trying to be Ursula and Awkwardfina, who delivers her same character she has portrayed in almost every other film she's been in... the animals have been replaced with either creepy looking versions of their animated counterparts or completely different animals. I think they confused Sebastien for Mr. Crabs from SpongeBob because I don't recall Sebastián being a crab... overall this movie was not what I expected and was a complete let down.

This movie was really long and it kept going back and forth with different points in time, making it difficult to watch. This didn't add anything to the plot at all; but I imagine if the movie was told in chronological sequence, it may have been really dry. I give this movie a solid 7/10. They didn't show the bombing of Nagasaki or Hiroshima which is what I wanted to see (spoiler alert). This movie was overhyped and I think it could've done better. The movie ends with a grim-look on reality that we have only made things worse by advancing the knowledge and creation of larger Nuclear weapons since the ending of WWII. Though I was not bothered by this at all. When you realize we all have to eventually face our maker, makes you realize there's no difference in how it all ends. Momento Mori. Nonetheless, I would rather save this movie for casual at-home viewing while I'm doing something else.

I heard this movie was terrible and the worst from the franchise. I left the theatre thinking, this was probably the worst from the franchise but not completely terrible. Even though I'd argue Kingdom of the Crystal Skull had more charm than this movie; I still think it was better than I had expected. Mind you, my expectations were set pretty low. If you're looking a fun adventure film to kill time on a weekend, then I would recommend this movie. If you're expecting an exciting Indiana Jones movie, I recommend watching one of the original 3 films. I give this film a solid 6/10
