Whenever I see that these movies are successful I'm always wondering who's seeing them? Myself and a few friends all attend movies regularly and none of us even know anyone who saw the second one in theaters. Like I'm sure people are going, it's just weird.

I went to see the second one purely because I wanted to see the pretty CGI world, I didn't expect too much from the plot. No disappointment there.

I may yet do the same with the third one. I'm also not expecting too much from the plot there. I just want to see cool CGI and fancy world-building. It's entertaining in its own way and best seen on the big screen.

Yeah, I can watch all sorts of bad movies if the technical aspects fascinate me. Avatar hasn't let me down on that front so far.
