You guys should have your own tv show and Nick should definitely be on the red carpet discussing movies before the Oscar’s. You guys rock
Parts 3-5? Are we gonna be alive for these? I mean it only took 13 years for this one
James Cameron filmed Avatar 3 already and part of 4. Which is one reason this took so long. He also had to wait for the right technology to be made in order to capture the underwater motion capture.
3 and 4 already filmed
The last movie (Avatar 5) will come out on 2028
Yeah they said in an interview few weeks ago part 3 is like 90% done and they shot part of part 4 before this came out thank god lol
You said it, man!
I tell all my friends about you guys. When someone asks me about a movie I'll usually share your youtube review. Even when I disagree with you guys you still make good solid points. Big hugs from Chicago. Happy new year!
Nick's face when Joseph say The cricket was cute...😑 priceless....🤣🤣🤣🤣
Damn this is the first honest review of this movie. Thanks.
so all the other reviews are “dishonest” because they’re positive…? Lol confirmation bias at its best.
(I didn’t even love this movie but your comment is very silly)
Because you've seen it to know for sure right. 🤦♀️
Why are they putting so many resources into catching sully?
@@dantan1249 toruk makto
5 bucks, Kiri is either Eywa is Navi form or Sigourney reincarnated. Eywa is the daddy.
I don't think Kiri has a father. My theory is that Sigorni Weaver's character found a way to upload herself to Pandora, or connect herself to it. Somehow Eywa was able to provide her with a child that can also live to connect herself to it/her. Something along those lines.
Appreciate your reviews. The use of "cuz" and "bro" felt completely fake. Stupid plotline that the US government pays billions of dollars to kill one Jake Sully. Don't understand why Jake had a dad bod, he looked like an average Joe in a Navi costume versus an actual Navi. Neytiri needs her own movie, now. Tuk was adorable but Kiri was too moody and looked like Sigourney Weaver acting like a 12-year-old. Meh.
I have a theory that Kiris father is the tree of souls itself. That's why she could communicate with nature.
That sounds gross.
@@myytchanneldinakoha8498 Its more weird if norm the father
Yep, she’s gonna be Jesus.
I've had drinks with the guy that plays the hunter (Brendan Cowell).
It was around 2010, I helped organize the premiere for his Australian war film, Beneath Hill 60.
He was dating Rose Byrne at the time and they did NOT get along, she was very nice (and very funny) though.
Nick needs to talk more about Ron Perlman as the Beast
"not Ron Perlman, Ron Perlman as Beast"
"I know what you said. I can't cosign on that one"
had me rolling
Love your shirt choices for the review
"feral white boy with dreadlocks"

Once again you two are spot on! I loved it visually, but several things bothered me about it as it relates to story. After 3 hours of visual candy, and an emotional moment or two, I went home and started to explain the movie to my wife... and I started laughing and realized I was basically telling the plot to the first one.
Same villain (upgraded to Navi so it's more of a fair fight?), swap Jake learning from the tree Navi to his kids (and him off screen mostly) learning from the water Navi, swap unobtainium with space whale brain juice, and Navi with the help of nature win the fight.
The things that bothered me: 3 hour and 12 minute movie starts with exposition dump. Before I have my coat off and I'm comfortable in my seat, we have a random human kid being raised by Navi... and in the beginning he looked bigger than a human kid would be and I was confused if he was hybrid or not... and eventually figured out he wasn't, I must have missed it in the exposition dump. We also have a Sigourney Weaver baby raised by Jake Sully as his own daughter and somehow they had kept her avatar alive long enough to even realize she was pregnant? Last we saw, both bodies were lying limp at the mother tree... then one was disposed of, but the other kept and given a pregnancy test?
Ok, they are there, and the movie starts. Humans arrive, we then have a 1 year time jump... Jake has been leading raids against the humans for a year now... and suddenly, he feels the need to stop and hide. We never hear about the tree people again... did they keep raiding? Did they go into hiding? Were they ever raided, killed, searched for Jake Sully like we see happen to the water people?
Ok, for some reason he goes to the water tribe to be in hiding as a refugee even though nothing really changed for him to feel that way.
We have a long time of the kids all learning the new way, and Jake as a side note learns too but we barely see that, we experience it through the kids. I liked the kids and their adventures, it was character development, finally, predictable, but I could watch a plant grow on Pandora and find it stunning.
Then what, like 2 hours in we find out what the new unobtanium is for, again mostly through exposition dump as they kill a space whale to get the water Navi mad, and they show us space whale brain juice, oh and it somehow stops humans from aging... which they figured out... when? In the year they were on the planet? Or during the time they were gone but they had harvested a couple before they left? I don't know. They somehow know.
Then we have the battle after the kids get kidnapped again and again, emotional loss of one of them, the battle ends but the bad guy lives to be the bad guy again in the next movie.
Then Jake says they'll leave, but they are accepted as water Navi, so now he'll stay to fight the humans with them. He is exactly in the same position he was in when he decided it was best to hide at the beginning of the movie... but in a much less compatible environment. Weird.
His wife and kids are built for tree life, for tree combat, actually have family and a community there... but sure, on water is where he'll make the stand. I understand for him, as an outsider originally, it's just another place to call home... but to his family, they can actually go HOME now and fight from there, side by side with their actual tribe... but nope, dad says we have to take our stand here with our new "family" instead of our actual family.
Overall, I agree. Beautiful movie, but recycled story.
As a side note. What are the humans that remained on Pandora using for fuel for their helicoptors, medicine, ammo? They aren't getting resupplied by Earth... until the humans came back... they were on their own. Maybe they'll tell us in part 3...
Really enjoying your back catalog (a big advantage of Spoiler Reviews!) Thanks so much
Between this review and She Said glad you two can be honest with your reviews. Subbed!
Saw this yesterday in 4DX, and the movements were strong during the action scenes! It was definitely an experience for the theatre based on the visuals alone. Story-wise, I'm childree and the stuff with the kids didn't connect with me as much, but parents might like it more? Regardless,I still think the themes are strong enough to keep the story going. I appreciated James Cameron's dedication which clearly showed, and I would definitely watch the next one.
Very fascinating video!! I want to know what y'all think about the Fire Na'vi for the upcoming Avatar 3. How likely is it that each new film will show a different element? We could have an Air Na'vi (e.g., floating mountains) and a missing 5th element by the time Avatar 5 releases.
Let me just grab my 3-D glasses and await this review.
Awesome review as always! 💙
One of my favorites of his films is THE ABYSS. it’s thrilling and emotional.
I think this is his best film!
Coffee is one of the scariest James Cameron villains of all time.
The last time I saw a 2 hour chase film it was the most incredible action movie ever put to screen- Fury Road
Then you really should see Road Warrior or Mad Max
@@babytoshiro7014 mad max 2015 is by far the best mad max film.
@@ScruffyWarlord Not even close. But everyone like what they want👍👍
Omg I was JUST thinking about that!!! Great minds my dear…
This should have been Mad Max but in the Water..
The close up of Jospeh took me out love him ❤
Not flavorless Kate Winslet 💀
I just had to roll my eyes when cameron had to include a titanic reference
Thank you gents for an honest and timely review of A2. I enjoyed your commentary and ALWAYS appreciate the information and humor!
"I thought Edie Falco as the general was kinda whack! It was a little Country-fried to me!!!" 💁♀️🍗
Sounds like James provided enough "corn" that we don't need to buy any popcorn 🍿at the theater! That's a bonus! 😉
I just tried to go see this in IMAX at the Del Amo Fashion center in Torrance, CA and the trailers were fuzzy with the 3D IMAX glasses on and the theater had to call IT and there was no way they figured out the problem. I got a voucher then chose the next showing at the Dolby 3D theater across the concessions and enjoyed about an hour and a half before the movie 3D started flickering and they had to kick everyone out for that one. So I've tried to see this movie twice and haven't seen the ending. Gonna try to go see it tomorrow at an early showing and hopefully 3rd times the charm.
Oh no
whoa, haircut! looks great!
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who finds these avatars attractive. I’m only talking about the blue ones. They’re beautiful haha. Especially Jake’s son Lo’ak 😅. I don’t feel weird anymore… yaay!
Joseph's face is hilarious. I can't wait to see this movie! Ok, just saw the movie this afternoon and I absolutely LOVED it but I do agree with you regarding the human characters as being very one dimensional and Zoe Saldana's character stayed growling...LMAO!
"The story is filler... it doesn't really take us anywhere. It just kind of takes us from one part of Panora to another, but nothing really happens."
I believe the often voiced critique that considers the reason for the hunt of the Sully family a plot hole is too harsh. Jake /Turuk Makto is the leader of the native insurgency that has kept dealing crippling blows to the human landgrab project. The argument that with his and his family's exile there is no immediate threat to human interest and therefore no reason for hunting him down left (safe Quaritch's thirst for revenge) doesn't hold water. One doesn't need to look any further than US history some 130 to 150 years ago and the treatment of Native Americans. In 1877, the Nez Perce abandoned their homeland and were fleeing towards Canada, i.e. into exile outside the US. But the US military sent multiple forces after them in order to keep them from even fleeing the US. The rationale behind this was apart from revenge for defeating a US force that they could unite with Sitting Bull's Lakota in exile (who were hereditary enemies of the Nez Perce btw.) and possibly return for attacking settlers. The same goes for groups of Cheyennes in 1875 (Sappa Creek massacre) and 1879 (Fort Robinson outbreak) and anything Geronimo of the Mescalero Apaches is known for. People who think this plotline isn't plausible simply can't fathom the vindictive ruthlessness of colonial agents of ethnic cleansing.
Nah, it was a slog.
Great review! Love the authenticity! Love you guys. Best show on RUclips!
It's amazing how great Joseph looks without his hair " the movie I can wait for. Meh! Aliens still holds up after all these years"! 😎🏳️🌈😎🏳️🌈😎🏳️🌈😎🏳️🌈😎🏳️🌈😎🏳️🌈😎🏳️🌈😎🏳️🌈✌️
Love you guys Aliens theme shirts! Wonderful💖💖💖💖💖💖
I'm excited to see it this weekend.
Joseph is looking goooodt
This movie needs to make more that 2 billion dollars worldwide to break even.
That was a marketing tactic by Cameron lol it needs like 800 million or something I’m not sure but it’s not a billion
I believe it’s 2 billion for Avatar 2 & 3.
It was primarily a marketing tactic from Cameron for the movie to gain more traction.
China will probably help a lot in the box office. Sounds like there's nothing in the story remotely "controversial" that would prevent it from being released there or anywhere else so the international box office is probably going to help him get back all the money he spent.
I feel like Cameron just made the same movie. And the ending leads me to believe the 3rd will be the same yet again.
Agree with Nick's Ron Perlman as Beast attraction comment.
I bought 6 tickets for me and the family Friday night at 11:30…. Probably should have waited til Saturday lmao. Going to be like 2am when it’s over
Why tho?!
14:24 Further explanation on this topic needed. 😊 I’m obsessed with Sigourney Weaver!
Hi 👋 Nicholas, does the bottom of your shirt say, "mostly"?
Yes
Ron Perlman as the Beast back in the day? Yo, I got your back!
I don’t think any of the avatars are original ideas at all. Pretty much the first movie was a copy of Pocahontas/Fern Gully
Thank you professors, fun class.
Felt like Greenpeace made a YA novel. And the one human child, seemed to have no point. He's all about Navi, but his actions puts that into question. Way too long for what it's offering.
Re. Ron Perlman’s hot-or-not-ness: ‘I wouldn’t co-sign on that one . . . You do you . . . I thought Jiminy Cricket was cute in Pinocchio . . .’ 😂
The shirts! 💜
Thank you!
@@fishjellyfilmreviews Please tell me if I'm right...does it say "mostly" on the bottom half of Nick's shirt?
@@nadineo9436 of course it does!! That's the line!! 😉
Yes
I do believe one of my favorites of Sigourney Weaver would have to be The Ice Storm "!
😎Joseph had a 'marathon viewing' session, watching 2 *epically long* movies! So, the comments are perfectly 'tuned' and the rating pretty fair:)
What does your shirt say?
it still bother me how spider was raised by the naavi and was acting far feral than any of them and by them end was a regular american teen with slang and cursing after spending 3 weeks with the humans??? i wanted to walk out.
3 hours+ (counting trailers) in a movie theater during covid? (Which Cameron just caught).
Definitely a rental.
your loss. Just wear a mask 🙄
@@petervonik7050 Not much of a loss if according to Joseph the story is weak & best thing about it is the visuals.
Have worn a 3M respirator with cartridges (P100, better than an N95 mask) with a face shield to some movies, most recently Top Gun Maverick. But that's work, & have decided this movie isn't worth it.
Yeah I would like to see it on a big screen with the big sound, but the first one was very boring to me I have no desire to learn what the characters are up to. So 3+ hours is just way too long for me. It takes me 3 nights to watch a 2 hour movie!
I’m gonna go see it…I was on the fence… not a big fan of the original…but I hope it kick starts movie theaters…I like going to the movies.
16:56 The biggest reveal of the review! I’m here for this!
Oh my!! Joseph ain't co-signing on that crush, but you do you Nick 🥰
Joseph's crush on Jiminy Cricket 🦗 is too cute! 😘
Thanks guys for being you!!
Saw it in the new Screen X format and that was cool. That 40min non-stop action at the end was almost overwhelming.
Loved the whale creature 🥰
Ngl I'm invested enough to watch the rest of the sequels.
Drinking water as I watch this review
This one and the first one; when you watch reviews or hear discussions it's like people discussing an attraction, not a movie. I'm sure it looks great, but I wish it was in service of something more.
can someone pls explain where Sam's human body is...like who is keeping it alive?
He doesn't have a human body anymore. He was dying at the end of the first movie (no oxygen) and his mind was permanently transferred into his avatar body via Eywa. It's the final scene of the first film, and ends with him opening his eyes.
@@ejbell thank you.
Watched both avatars. First one story wise miles better. This one just had a underwhelming story. Visually speaking the second is very good. Some scenes with 3D glasses and slowed down frame rate look weird but apart from that it looks pretty good in 3D not mind blowing but solid.
I can wait for streaming.
I’ll have to wait until January when my theater re opens. I’m more optimistic about this since guys like it more than the original ( which was amazing in visuals but story was meh)
When the first one came out people looked at me like I was crazy bc I didn't like it. I'll check this out for the graphics but Ferngully is the better film. 😆
Only thing I remember about fern gully was Robin Williams. It didn't stick with me as other Disney films. Avatar is better. But that's just me
@@darthcaedus9130 I had a huge crush on Christian Slater who did one of the voices at the time. Tim Curry as the villain was also a good choice.
next avata in r 2050 gona last 3 days
I cant wait for a review of Megan and Ron Pearland as Beast was attractive, I agree the image was intriguing.
i like how he says button with three T's
Already bought a dozen tickets for the next phenomenon of film!!
Ngl i love how one of y'all is almost completely on board and the other is like he couldn't care less about.
Lots of love to the legendary Sigourney Weaver for getting her bag but I thought the first movie was some white savior bullshit with great 3D effects 😂 However I stay curious and wanted to know the results of 13 yrs. when the first movie wasn't that memorable outside of the effects so I appreciate you for filling in those blanks with your critique!!
And I have to agree with Nick when it comes to Ron Perlman as Vincent the Beast; half-lion, half-human, all the sauce.
Finally watched this, didn’t see it in theaters tho 😅
Thanks!
Thank you!
Hey, I just realized that with technology I can have a tombstone that reflects reviews…wait..if they don’t like the film I have to give a credit about underwater?
I’ve been saying turquoise wrong my whole life!?!??
Hated the first one ... I remember asking my date halfway through if we could leave ... But will still see this in the theater ...
jiminy cricket LOL
Thank you for being real. I have been seeing everyone yelling this is the best film of ALL TIME - and I am one of the few who really disliked the first film. It was (at the time) technically a step forward BUT the story was a rip off of Dragon Riders of Pern, Dances with Wolves - the white man saves the natives ... yeuck. I may watch it sometime to see the tech and visuals, but I am not rushing out to go and see it.
No one really is saying this is best film of all-time.
@@leonzaduncan2438 grace randolf, chris stuckman and more... I watch about 20 review sites - all different POVs - the way this is being reported - is they way it was reported the first time - AMAZING MUST SEE - instead of amazing visuals another step forward in technology - but no real story. JMO
@@kellykelley2649 saying it's good and it's best the movie of all time are 2 totally different things
@@leonzaduncan2438 you know it's ok if we have different opinions and experiences, right? I was posting about my experince watching the roll out for this film. We have different points of view and that is fine. I don't come to this channel to argue.
@@kellykelley2649 We are not arguing about the actual movie, I've only seen part 1 once when it 1st came out, and I missed the 1st hour. You are right it's a ripoff of those movies I would even add Fern Gulley to that mix, the story was bland as fuck and generic as fuck. All I said was I've watched several reviews, maybe you were being hyperbolic or facetious but I've seen NO ONE call the best film of the year, yet alone of All-time. I've seen people praise how amazing it looks and how it's a much watch for that.
Without having seen the film (live in Sweden - the land of delayed film releases) I think you nailed it! This is exactly how I imagine the movie to be. A somewhat banal and predictable plot with stereotypical characters compensated with massive cgi. Basically, you're paying to see the latest and greatest in visual effects and I can't see anything wrong with that.
This is why movies aren't good anymore. People jus love a good visual with no heart.
This movie is like people today. Look good on the outside but empty on the inside.
I actually really liked the story...also the whales are so cool
THREE HOURS??? Holy Christ. And it sounds like a YA drama from just how many kids there are this time around. I was really hoping you would say the story is great this time but it's such a bummer Cameron still wouldn't come up with a better script after spending all that money on the efx. Also I never understood why Sam Worthington was chosen as a lead, he's such a zero in terms of screen presence...would've so much rather Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang and Zoe Saldana as the leads and that dude just gets killed off in the beginning. 😮💨 This movie is probably gonna make bank esp internationally, so I hope most of that money goes into the efx team's pockets instead of just James Cameron. Anyway, thank you so much for your review, gentlemen! Gonna just stream this so I can skip through it. Have a wonderful rest of the week and weekend!
I LOVED the series Beauty and The Beast! Ron Pearlman did a phenomenal job playing that character. I'm with you on that one, Nick!
I'm studying ASL and one of the things I thought was funny was that Kate Winslet's character & the daughter are clearly speaking ASL but the others were consistently off, just similar enough that I'm convinced it wasn't a different form of sign language (though I guess it's a possibility), just that they did the bare minimum & James Cameron didn't care enough for consistency and/or didn't know enough sign to tell it was wrong🤣Like the sign for friend is done by hooking fingers, but the son just smashed his hands together. Or was it to show they really sucked at sign? lololol
I’ve been pronouncing Jemaine Clement’s last name wrong too!!??!!
I won't see this shit.. but great review guys
Spider was pretty much there to translate for them lol.
Which son dies? Is it Neteyam, and if so, who kills him?
Yes, the eldest son is dying. One of the RDA soldiers shot
*Side Note: I'm being told Comments Disabled for the RRR review. Was that done on purpose?
*Second Side Note: Are we going to see any additional interviews done by Nick. I liked those quite a bit.
Seeing it tomorrow glad that its decent. 1st one was ok.
Thought this was better than the first one ... "Spider" was ridiculous though
😂😂
Those little blue *hits 🤭😁
That info regarding whale hunting felt so random, introduced literally 2 thirds of the way through the movie. Who are these humans and how did they get to Pandora? And why haven't the peaceful water Navi been warring with these greedy humans for as long as the humans have been hunting whales? didn't make sense. . .
The 1st one was brilliant due to the effects but lacked in story. Tempted to see Avatar 2.
Every time I was Spider it made my skin crawl.
CURSED caucasian dreadlocks
Always get everything in writing!!! It’s not a handshake or verbal agreement that stands up in court!! Always get everything in writing!!!
Joseph… the strange feeling you get from Sigourney voice is So Alien…
Ooof does not sound great from what I am hearing about the plot. I have been trying to find a spoiler review on this movie for a bit so thank you this. I will probably see this high as a kite for visuals sake but the plot sounds even worse than I thought it would be lol.
Yup not very good 😂
I wanna see what happens to Spider when they find out He Helped the Sky People.... AND Saved his Daddy 🤔🤔😱. I saw Jake look at Spider when he was telling Jake Exactly where everyone was... Spider is my Least Favorite Character....
I thought it was just a little too long. It was a beautiful movie to look at, but it was just ok. I wasn't blown away, it was good though
Heyyyy 😍
I guess I drank the Kool-Aid… I went in expecting to hate Avatar 2, but I was drawn in by the world he created and I actually found myself caring about the new characters and what happened to them (even if I still had trouble distinguishing them from each other sometimes). I get your point that much of it was setup, but I disagree that it was filler. I found myself even invested in the large whale creatures and their side story. I put off watching this for so long but I ended up enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would, based on the reviews I read.
I did get such heavy Titanic vibes during the climax that I expected Jack and Rose to show up and one of them was actually in it the whole time and I didn’t know that until the end credits!!
Didn't enjoy the first one and had no intention of watching the sequel. Thanks for an honest review. It's a pass for me.
Tbh it really wasn’t bad! Male masculinity is on display in this movie - which is refreshing from what Disney has been putting out this past year ijs
