Avatar: The Way of Water | Rotten Tomatoes (original) (raw)

Christina Newland iNews.co.uk It is admirable as a viewing experience, but it has none of the emotional conviction that makes a true movie classic. Rated: 2/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Matthew Lickona San Diego Reader It would be missing the point to call the proceedings indulgent to the point of self-infatuation: Cameron has built a new world from the remixed bits of this one, and he seems determined that we should not simply visit Pandora, we should live in it. Rated: 2/5 Dec 21, 2022 Full Review Dwight Brown DwightBrownInk.com It’s more than you can possibly imagine. A fantasy world so vivid and real it commands your full attention for 3h 12m. And when it’s done, you’ll still want to linger in this heightened state of make believe. Rated: 4/4 Dec 21, 2022 Full Review William Stottor Loud and Clear Reviews James Cameron’s long-awaited blockbuster sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, is a big, boisterous, beautiful return to Pandora. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 13, 2024 Full Review Nadya Martinez The Latin Times Avatar: The Way of Water, the long awaited sequel to Cameron’s Avatar - the highest grossing film of all time - was ultimately mesmerizing and a mind-blowing immersive visual experience taking audiences on a epic adventure unlike anything seen before. Rated: 8/10 Jul 8, 2024 Full Review Swara Salih The Nerds of Color Overall, Avatar: The Way of Water is a colossal disappointment on a story and character level, saved only by its stunning visuals (at least when they’re not too garish). Rated: C- Jul 7, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Michael Complete remake of the first with equally as pleasing visuals Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review John Amazing ass visuals and I loved the new tribe! Wish more authentic indigenous actors were in these Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review N/A Was really anticipating this movie for the longest time but all the little kids and family oritation ruined in for me. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Joshua H One of the best sequels ever. I'm even putting up a net for the kids to pretend like they're living with the water people. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Jonathan seats are close and kinda cramped Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review MB Graphics are incredible. That's really the only thing going for it. Some characters were very well-written, though! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
