Just started it. It's already generic AF.

How'd you like it?

It was fine. I’ll never watch it again though.

It was no long 3 hours. I saw the movie in the theater. To me, it felt like it was 40-50 minutes shorter than what it really was. The only time I could question stuff was between the 1 hour mark and the 2 hour mark, especially when it got to all the stuff between Jake's son and the whale. That whole bonding thing kind of slowed down the pacing. I wouldn't say boring, but after a while it was like "Okay, James Cameron, I get it. Can we move on now? You've spent enough time on this." But other than that, the movie fly by. The first hour goes by fast and then the last 45-60 minutes is pretty much all action. But I've watched movies that are 80 or 90 minutes that felt longer than Avatar 2, and Avatar 2 is double their runtime. It's okay to dislike a movie, but I didn't think it was a long movie.
