it wasn't "bloody awful", just not particularly original .. and for a movie with all those accolades people go in with a high bar for the writing
I think we have to question just how complex a "man encounters new race on the frontier while seeking to exploit resources of new land" plot line can be
there were a couple holes and that's an issue but the conflict and motivations made sense given the premise .. though it's bound to draw comparisons to works that came before it that share similarities
hopefully they can give it a little more intelligence to throw a bone to the modern audience that requires political chatter, detailed lore and adult themes to check the right boxes
but if it wants to lean into being a kids movie with awe inspiring cutting edge visuals I hope it does just that .. if you're raking in a couple billion then even the haters are curious enough to give it their time, so you have to be doing something right
for me I just don't find the Na'vi particularly interesting .. but I would love to explore their world more so I hope this does that
