Having seen only Avatar: it's very entertaining as an enormous budget blockbuster that isn't completely morally bankrupt (as opposed to the usual defenders of the status quo capeslop) but I think it's fair to say it's not a visionary film. It's forgettable, generic, and has "unobtainium." You don't have to love it.
Again I only saw the first one but I hardly think they could be solid in every aspect. Every aspect? That's ridiculous.
First of all, they could stand to be a lot gayer. There's no time travel. Glaring lack of basketball B plot (leaving the basketball court in the base as an unfired Chekhov's gun). At best, I can give them points for tall women and hair sex. But my checklist's boxes are bereft of marks here.
It’s okay to hate Hollywood movies. Avatar is not not some cinematic masterpiece
I don't recall the first one super well, but the second one was genuinely wretched in so many ways. Even the visual effects which were touted so much just felt artless in their photorealism.
