Everything I’ve heard is that it’s terrible and kind of good.

Everything I’ve heard is that if you love technology and visuals you’ll love it. If you require a story written by someone with greater emotional complexity than a 6 year old you won’t.
So basically it’s an Avatar movie

I'd say I can't wait for this movie to come out so that Cameron will shut the f*** up about it.
But he got greenlit to make 37 more of these things.

I'm sure it is technologically amazing and as shallow as a kiddie pool.

So just finished my showing. I liked it actually. Obviously beautiful as all hell. But on top of that I liked the story. It isn’t an amazing blow your minds story, but it is solid, and more focused pathos and scale this time around. And overall I think the narrative was better executed.

I'm willing to give it a fair shake but I don't want contribute to it's opening weekend (cranky old man Cameron). I'll wait the next weekend to see it.

I just hate that I'm going to have to throw down $20-$25 for a ticket to this as obviously, I'm going to need to see it in 3D.

I’ve been jonesing to go to an IMAX movie. Watched Avatar 1 last night and I’m honestly tempted to see 2. The runtime is giving me second thoughts though.

Maybe they'll pronounce Aang's name correctly for once in this.

I actually watched the original for the first time last night but only because it’s this weeks We Hate Movies episode and I like to watch them in advance of listening to the episode otherwise was perfectly ok having never watched it
I mean it wasn’t bad but was something that happened if that makes sense but nothing about it stood out as something that would take even longer movies to tell the stories……well until it made all that money lol. Original would have been better with a 2 hour runtime probably

I'm sure the studio are thrilled at the prospect of paying for 9 hours of FX work when around two-thirds will end up on the cutting room floor. I'm sure the FX artists that will have to put in the overtime to do it are thrilled as well.

Yeah I can imagine being in the theatre especially with the 3D pulling a lot of weight which it loses at home

I've tried to watch it four times at home in the last 13 years, and three of those times I fell asleep before the third act and the fourth I got bored and watched T2 instead.
