Theaters shutting down due to covid contributed but the obsession with placing diversity/lgbt over good stories really didn’t help. Telling your fans how much you hate them isn’t a good strategy either
It was certainly longer than the first one. The first thirty minutes (or more) was a really bad and listless 'we're here, and we've got to get them over there, so now we've got to go through the motions' segment involving a clumsy Tarzan'esque character called Spider (human) and a rebellion-on-stilts.
That's why the movie is so long, because Cameron didn't want the story to start with the sea people. And somehow orbital bombardment didn't quite figure into the equation of taking out the mother tree and its animal army. Probably the first thing I'd do, knowing where the damned tree is located. :')
I saw Top Gun Maverick last year but ironically it was that experience that has put me off returning to the cinema. Not because of the film, that was fine. But because of the experience - why the fuck do Cinema's sell crunchy chips? The woman next to me also coughed 21 times (yes I counted) - this was when covid was still a thing and people weren't meant to leave home with symptoms. I've sworn never to go the cinema again, I'll just upgrade to a bigger TV and wait a few weeks for films on download. Why pay hollywood money?

The new Puss in Boots was really good. Past that, the last new movie that I liked was the new Top Gun.
I feel like the movie industry is going through what the game industry went through, except it doesn't have a thriving indie scene.
Avatar The Way Of The Water is really trash, though, rofl.
It was seriously dumb.

Wizards is woke trash. Anything they do with d&d is going to be extreme dieversity
If it’s not somehow worse than the first two, it will be a miracle.
