Bigger, better & more emotional than Avatar

Check out some other reactions below:

Erik Davis wrote, “Happy to say ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ is phenomenal. Bigger, better & more emotional than ‘Avatar,’ the film is visually breathtaking, visceral and incredibly engrossing. The story, the spectacle, the spirituality, the beauty – this is moviemaking & storytelling at its absolute finest.”

Happy Sad Confused host Josh Horowitz wrote, “James Cameron once again shows filmmakers how it’s done. I’ve said it a thousand times. Never doubt him. ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ is how you do epic blockbuster-ing. Emotional, visceral and as big as movies get.”

The film is long and three hours and 12 minutes may sound excessive in the beginning. But once the film begins, you go on a time travel. It's a uniquely rewarding experience and you'll not once check the time.

Length is immaterial

The film is not stuffed with mind-numbing, wall-to-wall action and needlessly complicated plot. You explore the environment in its full glory - the intricacies of a reef or basking in the beauty of giant sea creatures. Sometimes you are just sitting in the water with Kiri. It is not advancing the action in any obvious way nor is it developing characters. It is very serene.

Sure there is some "Avatar" silliness, the word "bro" is uttered about 8,000 times. But there is something admirable about the straightforward dialogue and emotions.
