I ended up quite enjoying it. 7.5/10

The cut to Justin Long, and the radical change in tone at that cut, made me laugh out loud.

Oh man ....Avatar: The Way of Water ...7.5/10

Not really sure what to think about this movie. Digesting it still, I guess. The CG was excellent ..which was expected. Not sure the story sits well with me tho. Not sure if it retained the same heart of the first movie as well. Definitely didn't leave the theater feeling impressed like the first one. For now giving it a 7.5.
