Yeah it was the highest grossing film of the year and it made a lot of profit from rentals. I remember seeing it with friends back in the day, good times.
Oh I disagree with that. From what I heard the biggest "flop" is when lizzo jumped into the pacific ocean, displacing millions of litres of water and killing 80% of the marine life.
A reviewer I listened to said that it had decent themes, beautiful visuals, but a predictable storyline and often literally laughable conversations.
He said that it was a good family movie, one where the main characters struggled with moving to a new area and trying to fit in with the local populace, adapting to their values, and resolving conflicts from clashing perspectives, which was something the reviewer said he could relate to as a father. But that the bad guys were stereotypical greedy human capitalists, that the resource they were trying to obtain that time was even more ludicrous than in the first movie, and that the movie solidly cemented the fact that James Cameron has no talent whatsoever in writing dialogue.
So basically, he gave it a mixed review. Not fantastic, but not terrible either. The scores I've seen mentioned in this thread come as no surprise to me.
A guy on youtube said the dad character is an actual character as opposed to the modern comedic foil that occasionally performs a feat of strength archetype. Real tough call on seeing this one.
Nah. The critics probably hate it because it stars a patriarchal father figure and portrays him in a positive light. That's the problem with wokeness; sooner or later, you're just not woke enough, in which case you might as well be Adonalfd Trumpler.
Woke Cameron has possibly made the largest flop in modern history
Even more so than Waterworld?
Waterworld made more being a theme park attraction than as a movie, this will likely fall under the same category.
I will stan Waterworld any day of the week, Dennis Hopper was awesome in it.
It was basically Mad Max on Water

It was the Yucatan 65m BCE, get your bodies of water straight.
Wish I had your optimism. I have a feeling that it'll break even at worst. This movie is an easy enough sell to China and the global audience.
Apparently considering testosterone as a toxic substance does not translate to a good movie
They'll just pour more money into advertising and the plebs will eat it up (probably sleeping through half of it).
So is it actually good or so terribly bad that even they give it a low score?

Never forget unobtainium.
Are you talking about Chris Gore on the Drinker podcast?
based on Cameron's recent testosterone remarks, I doubt its a based movie that woke reviewers are trying to bury
It is Aladeen.
I'm no expert but I have a feeling this will be considered racist
the first one was a 5/10, once the novelty of the effects wore off, its a mediocre natives vs colonizer film.
Too much water? (I know, that's IGN)

That means it must be good then, right?
