Happy Holidays to everyone that enjoys Spoiled Movie Review. James Cameron had me in the theater at 9:30am with my 3D glasses on and I wasn’t disappointed. But before I speak on the movie, ya’ll movie theater is the problem. Every time I’m hearing all these adverts that aren’t movies I’m like how much more money do ya’ll need?
Anyways back to my favorite blue folks. You’re right, it’s good to have a simple plot once in awhile that looks great. I understood Courage getting a taste of Navi punani and never returning back to humanity (I’m not making a case, but I get it. Ash on ash love). Like father like son. I also stopped hating Spider too (I said “kill him Jake, do it.” I see you Spider.
My only issue is Eiwa sure loves taking her time until enough Navi done been killed before activating. Biatch Niggas dying, and I’m holding a pee despite waiting for 1 hr 20 minutes before ordering my drink. That’s how I was like C’mon James my man, cut out 30 minutes from the next Avatar goddammit. I’ll be there opening night or morning. But no drinking nada, damn I miss younger bladder. Do better Mr Cameron!
Btw I was shaking my head and saying “Rod and Karen are really at an apocalyptic theater getting weird ass commercials and no Avengerz Doomsday” before you recalled and I said “Praise Be, we gonna be aight!”
Nigga, I see you, Jim. I wouldn’t call myself an Avatar hater, as I was just not into these like Jim’s non Avatar endeavors. And while Fire & Ash doesn’t really introduce any new-ish elements, it makes up for that with the inclusion of Varang & Stephen “get me that Fiyah pussy” Lang’s Miles Quadritch stealing some of her moments. That camp scene between the two of them is a scene I will not unsee & I ate it the fuck up like Miles on that trippy ride. And returning cast is pretty good, even Spider, who I will say I did respond better to than his prior entry.
Looks amazing, of course. Yeah, really liked it. Agenda officially over.
Which brings me to the overdone conversation of these films not having “cultural impact” & I say to that, cultural impact is whatever people want it to be. Money, fandom, quotes, etc. Avatar’s cultural impact is pretty much existing from the gaze of Big Dick Jim & people like him. I like him. Social media tries to undermine him as a one-dimensional person, but I vehemently disagree with that premise. Making hits like Aliens, Abyss, True Lies, Titanic, Terminators 1-2 are pretty cultural relevance & these films from Jim are his MCU. Shit he’s always wanted to make since the 90s & his cranky Canadian ass is cookin’ & God bless him. He’s making successful blue people films over three hours & they make bank! Have I witnessed better scripts than the one provided here? Yes, but if the characters are able to overcome that (again, it’s why Lang, in particular is excellent here. I’ll even give Sam Worthington his flowers, as well. His best performance out of three released) then it’s kinda moot.
I also kind of funny how this shit was “anti-IP” back in 2009, when critics were eating it up & with two new entries, they’re sick of it now. Sound familiar?
But, anyway, I dug it. Saw it twice. Can’t wait for the 4k release & if we make it to 2029 & 2031, my black ass will be there for Avatar 4 & 5.
Peace!
Went to see this one in the theater… it was an experience. While I think this one offered more depth than the previous installments, It felt so long. A good editor would have really helped bring this movie under control and made it better. It will be interesting to see what the world looks like in the next installment, as so many Na’vi died, and most of the humans, died in this one.
Merry Christmas, Rod and Karen! I have thoroughly enjoyed the Avatar movies. They are beautiful and immersive. That said, because Im so emotionally affected by seeing the animal deaths(yes, creatures that do not really exist deaths-lol), Im unable to enjoy them as much as I could. I didn’t see the way of water in the theater because of this, and when I streamed it I fast forwarded fight scenes so I didn’t have to witness creatures being harmed or die. I may see this in the theater so wish me luck! Thanks for this awesome review!
