Real question why? Being honest everyone I know who saw it said it was a boring movie. Seeing the trailer plot wise felt average to me. I don't get the appeal how so many other movie trailers don't get this level of attention but turn out better. I'd argue top gun 2 was a great movie but the cinema here didn't have queues like that even with word of mouth being really good

This is actually a pretty normal line for Jordan’s. They only have one screen and usually corral people in this waiting/concessions area until about 10 minutes before showtime.

Crazy thought: maybe go see it before passing judgement?

It was fucking awesome and I genuinely don't understand how much of a curmudgeon someone would have to be to not enjoy it. It's more of a roller coaster than a criterion collection but roller coasters are dope. I can't think of how you could spend $15 better.

It gets better ...‘Avatar 2’ called out for ‘cultural appropriation’ and ‘white savior complex’

I was debating on whether to go and see it or not (coincidentally, I did see the first one at Jordans), but this 'woke' shit is getting out of hand and only sways me even more to go and see it.

At least this time around the Majestic 7 in Watertown is a 15 minute walk, 5 minute drive from me.

Everyone please meet someone who has never read a decent critique of the first avatar and thinks anyone who points out that the story is not a whole lot more than a retelling of every other story about the white guy who goes native and teaches the natives how to be better natives than they could have been without the white guy Superman is „woke“.

Guess what genius, this is a discussion about narratives that has been going on a lot longer than whenever some wingnut snowflake came up with the term „woke“ to describe any discussion they have trouble following

Guess you haven’t been to a movie at Jordan’s? You’ll need to do that to get your MA card

Word is it’s a fun movie, like top gun. Nothing new or ground breaking but just a fun movie

Hey man, can you explain to me why you like ketchup and I don’t. Hey man can you explain to me why you like this song and I don’t. Do you get what I’m getting at here? Or does it need to be broken down further for you? Even more so you’re asking why would somebody want to see the sequel to the biggest movie of all time. That sounds like a pretty easy wire right there

So reviews shouldnt exist got you. No harm in public vote and opinion to get the jist in how a movie is tracking. As I said here the ppl who saw it and told me say it's boring and sucked but the visuals were stunning simple as that
