    I saw Avatar 2 for the first time a couple weeks ago. So formulaic I was bored most of the movie. A Disney cartoon has more originality.

      I actually enjoyed Avatar 2 more than Avatar 1 because they spent so much time basically not progressing the story and showing me the local fauna. The story is terrible, but I would 100% watch a BBC Pandora Wild Life series.

      I’m not gonna yuck anyone’s yum. If a person likes these movies (as clearly, lots of people do), good for them. I saw the first avatar in the theater however the fuck long ago that movie came out now. It was pretty, and as you say, boring as hell. It’ll be the only Avatar film I ever see.

        I was really unimpressed by the first one, but found the second one to be surprisingly enjoyable. Nothing mind-blowing or anything, but it was entertaining.

      Top Gun Maverick was no different.
      Maybe the most predictable movie I’ve seen in recent years. I was entirely bored (outside the scene of Mavrick proving the run was doable. Those shots through the canyon were fantasic.) But that’s not enough to redeem the rest being wholly unoriginal.

        I can’t even be bothered to see it, my friends can’t understand.

        Like what could you possibly do in a second movie?

          Oh it’s worth seeing! Its extremely well crafted from a filmmaking perspective.

          As for what you could do with a sequal?
          There are lots of interesting things. What if Mavrick dies saving Goose’s kid, or dies in the first 20 min due to a fuckup by Goose’s kid. Or what if he’s married with a kid himself and refuses to fly in combat again, when he’s forced to completes the mission, but he dies. Those would all be unexpected and interesting stories. There could be even more where he doesn’t die.
