I too wanted to see this movie and was hoping it would be almost as good as the first. The visuals are good but without a story line to keep me interested, it really fails. I didn't like it and was so bored. The first avatar was a lot better. I thought they introduced the characters so much better. I thought Avatar the way of water came on too fast as they invaded Pandora. I thought they could have elaborated quite a bit further at the beginning on how earth was dying, right up to the time they entered Pandora. It was like they rushed the movie just so they could hurried up to do nothing much. I like it when they lead up to a war (how how's and why's) not just a bunch of fighting. Once you see a bunch of fighting it all looks a like. Not saying a good fighting scene isn't needed. Just don't make it feel like it is lasting for eternity. The special effects are good but not that good :) When are they going to learn. The visuals make a great movie fantastic. All great movies have a great story lines. So what happen to this one. It's not like there wasn't enough time or money thrown towards this movie. Too bad. Better luck next time.
