Avatar sequels announced

I think for Cameron this is more about storytelling than Box Office. I'm sure the studios will give him whatever he wants to keep the cash register ringing. If the sequels make a bunch of cast along the way then cool, but it will be a challenge for them to top the performance of the first flick. I'll look forward to seeing them of course, and even though Avatar is in my top 10, it's not like I'll be camping outside a theater or going to multiple showings. I'll likely see them in IMAX and then buy a DVD and catch each a few times more. I hope some great new characters and designs are introduced.

Pathetic. He is going to run out his career on these.

Avatar was a colossal disappointment. Great effect cannot compensate for a lackluster story.

[Darth Pain]

Just think, what If he landed the Spider-Man trilogy?
He might not have done Avatar. Or it might just be coming out now. The -- trilogy could have been MUCH better.
And we might not have this 3D craze going on.

What!!!???? are some people on drugs... Avatar was in my opionion one of the best movies to be released in a decade.. Not only did it bring new life to movies but brought something totally different that we have not experienced EVER watching a movie. Yes I agree the 2d version might have not been as nice but watching it on a big screen in 3d just blows you away. He made you feel like you where there through out the movie. So bring one the sequel as I'm sure he will do a great job. Plus why not make his career out of it. His got something good so why not live off it

Reading those quotes from Cameron, it sounds like it's more about pushing whatever social agenda he's taken on. Seems he wants to use the Avatar movies as a vehicle to send a message about environmentalism, social justice or whatever else

Seriously Jimmy . . . just make cool movies mate

Avatar had great visuals effects with photo realistic looking characters and believable stunning CG environments. But I didn't care for the story nor for the characters.

For me District 9 did a better job with the story and action, the movie made me care for the characters and I loved the full blown action in the second half, it was my favourite movie of 2009.

Hopefully the Avatar sequels will be better.

I enjoyed Avatar (for what it was) but I agree that District 9 was a much better movie.

The story line was adventurous at the most... It made your imagination run wild.. Oh well I guess each to there own but I loved it and rate it highly.. So I guess I'm the one on the drugs hahahahaha
