It took 13 years before this one. That is a long time to make a sequel and make perfect it.

What I find amazing is, that Avatar 1 has held up on its own enough to make expectations big for this one.

This sequel "The way of water" lacks all the subliminal messages the first one is full of, these little hidden meanings, that makes you think. It lacks everything that made the first one so good that it has held up for 13 years. Sure the effects are just as good as the first one, but the movie itself has absolutely not been worth the wait. The script can't have been more than a few pages long.

This movie has not been worth the wait to be honest. It has actually turned me off regarding wanting to see part 3-4-5.

It is a perfect example that effects alone can't carry a movie.

I'll stick to watching the first one.
