"Avatar 2" poster
The feeling of watching "Avatar 2" is a bit complicated: I hope it can exceed expectations and make the 12-year wait worth it; I also want to see James Cameron surpass it again, after all, there are three sequels behind it; since "Avatar", both the movie and the director have been "devoted to the gods". From the perspective of the audience, no one wants such a myth to be shattered.
After watching "Avatar 2", my mood became even more complicated: What have you been busy with in Cameron over the past 12 years? If we pursue the technology of film upgrading, professional movie fans may be able to say more than a dozen or twenty new discoveries with relish, but the praises from ordinary audiences in the cinema are far less than that when watching the previous one. If Cameron had more obsessed with technology in terms of screenwriters, "Avatar 2" might still be more likely to surpass the previous one.

"Avatar 2" has more than three hours of plot, in short, it is the plot of parents who repeatedly rescued the arrested or rescued children. Kong Wu's powerful "Sky Man" when escorting, tying and intimidating the children is a trick used by Hollywood third-rate commercial films. Even in the ending scene, the youngest child said the lines "Why am I being handcuffed again" with a slight smile...
Of course, even the first "Avatar", the plot is not its strength, but the new viewing experience it presented through new technology at that time came to his face, making people have no time to care about it. Even if all the special effects are stripped away and only the plot framework is checked, the war between the two planets, and the love between the Earthling Jack and Natalie, the Pandora planet Natalie, have a certain sense of freshness, but the most important thing is that the new imagination of the universe derived from this basis is full of shock.

"Avatar 2" does not regard continuing to develop new imagination of the universe as the grand background of the new film, that is, the important function used to stimulate the audience to fly their thoughts outside the plot no longer exists. The screenwriter firmly pressed the audience into the concept of "Family", not only annoyed people with clichéd family stories, but also continued to instill people with PUA-like lines. Just imagine, if the film cuts its head and leaves its end and only retains the underwater world in the middle, will it be better than the current complete movie?
The excessive wars of "Avatar 2" have filled the scene with fire, which is several times that of the first part. It is undeniable that such a big scene costs a lot, but it is not necessary. Now when people think of "Avatar", they will think of the mysterious and light "Tree of Life", the wonderful forest and all kinds of cute elves, who would like to think of artillery fire? As a symbol of aggression, artillery fire should leave after completing symbolic effects, but the entire length of "Avatar 2" is filled with firepower and explosion, which makes viewers who intend to enjoy the aesthetic situation of "Avatar 2" feel uneasy.
's disgust for artillery fire should be written quietly into the hearts of many people. The current audience needs healing, comforting rather than stimulation than the audience in the past decade. If Cameron realized that when Avatar 2 was released, people would receive a lot of negative information from the Internet every day, would he change his mind?

In "Avatar 2", Cameron acted particularly like an old-school director, and his intentions were written on his face: the anti-aggression theme of the film is obvious through the ugliness of "Sky Man"; the environmental awareness conveyed by the story, Nameiren set a very comprehensive example; the family theme of the entire work is suitable for everyone... Because of the old-school, the pursuit of security, Cameron has completely contracted a new world opened by "Avatar". From the perspective of script creation alone, this is a strategic mistake. We can only expect "Avatar 3" to change its course.
"Avatar" has cultivated a large number of loyal audiences who will be long-time supporters of the series, even if one of them will disappoint them. I hope it will not be like some other series of movies, and can only be supported by the support of "old fans".Good movies need a steady stream of new viewing groups to stay energetic. This is especially true for the "Avatar" series. Come on, Lao Ka.
