I don’t care if its plot is paper-think or solid as granite, just look at it.

Well, the first Avatar was pretty. Really pretty.
But the story was so derivative that pretty didn’t matter much.

The thing that fascinates me about Avatar was how huge it was at the time, but how small of an impression it left on everyone. Like- based on the numbers, everyone SAW Avatar, but most people you ask can barely summarize the plot or name more than 2 characters. That’s not how nerdy movies usually work when they get that big.

Was Avatar a rehash of Dances With Wolves or of Ferngully?

(and as my husband said, we don’t have to wonder what they were on when they made it!)

I’m starting to wonder if they’re ever going to stop making these.
After the nuclear war, the only things left will be cockroaches and Transformers movies!

IIRC at least it’s another one like Bumblebee where Michael Bay isn’t really involved.

Harrison Ford is 80 years old.
How many broken hips did he endure in this trailer alone?

We also have the Guardians of the Galaxy 3 trailer, AND I AM SCREAMING AND WAVING MY HANDS IN THE AIR AND HAVING HAPPY TEARS OVER THE USE OF SPACEHOG’S “IN THE MEANTIME” BECAUSE THAT SONG WAS EVERYTHING TO ME ONCE

The probability is higher given how disliked the last one was. What makes me cringe is the effects. If Disney and Mangold treat this as a modern movie and every little stunt seems like an effect, it will fail. IF those behind this attempt to emulate the 80s chapters more closely and give this an old-fashioned flair where it doesn’t feel like a video game then the odds are better.
