Boring ''plot'' and clichéd like a PS2 game

For a budget of $400m they came up with a long PS game for 15yr olds?

I enjoyed the movie, but I'm not going to say its the greatest movie ever or anything. It's in my top 10 movies of 2022 (although there aren't 10 movies I liked in 2022 since I only liked 6 or 7 movies throughout 2022, the rest would be either in the worst movies, or in the middle (didn't like them enough to make my top 10, but they aren't terrible enough to make the worst list)), but it doesn't take first place for favorite movies of 2022. First place goes to The Batman. But if I made a Top 10 Movies Of All Time list, Avatar 1 and 2 won't be on there. I think the highest they would go is if I expanded stuff to the Top 100 Movies Of All Time. They'd probably be somewhere between #51 and #100. So yeah. I enjoyed the movie overall, but I'm not going to say something like "best movie ever."

I thought the movie was decent plot wise. I remained interested the whole time. Things do get questionable between the 1 hour and 2 hour mark. There was a few times I was like "okay, I get it, let's get moving now." They weren't exactly boring parts, but they were a little repetitive or stretching stuff out. I think the movie could've been shortened by 15-20 minutes. But other than that, the movie flew by for me. Didn't feel like a 3 hour movie. Maybe 2.5 hours at the most. I'm thinking I might've been a little more into it just because I'm Native America and I could see Native Americans in the Na'vi. Actually, I'm not watching movies for Native American representation, but Avatar does thing in a more natural/organic way than a lot of movies nowadays that force all the representation (I also thought Avatar did a WAY better job at Native American representation than that stupid Prey movie, god dang did Prey suck). So I could connect with stuff a little more. And to further prove I'm not watching movies for representation is because I do enjoy the Avatar movies, but I'm not going to say they are the best movies ever/of all time. And Avatar 2 wasn't my #1 favorite movie of 2022. That goes to The Batman. Oh and don't forget my thoughts on Prey. I tore Prey apart while watching it and afterwards. Prey would easily be in my Top 10 Worst Movies Of 2022. But I have tons of reasons why I hated Prey besides just terrible representation. Didn't care for the main girl, story sucked, terrible pacing, how the predator is defeated, and so on. Prey actually felt like a longer movie than Avatar 2. I could watch Avatar 2 again. Prey, I never want to see that movie again.

The PS2 was a pretty awesome console, though. Still is, in point of fact.
