詹姆斯-卡梅隆的《阿凡达：水之道》是一部视觉效果极佳的电影，但它缺乏人物发展和一个引人注目的故事。
-
影片开始时，前海军陆战队员杰克-萨利（萨姆-沃辛顿）已经永久地成为生活在潘多拉星球的蓝色纳威人的一员。
-
主人公杰克是无可救药的沉闷，很难让人对他产生感情。
-
反派人物斯蒂芬-兰（Stephen Lang）的角色尽管在第一部电影中被除掉，但还是回来了。
-
这部电影将大部分资源用于聚焦一个人，而不是人类的命运。
-
梅特卡伊纳人不是骑着巨鸟到处跑，而是骑着海洋生物，他们的文化和身体特征与纳美人不同。
-
影片用一个多小时的时间让观众沉醉在潘多拉海洋社区的各种迷人的奇迹中。
-
影片的高潮部分看起来很精彩，但缺乏心脏和兴奋点，无法与詹姆斯-卡梅隆导演的其他影片的高潮部分相比。
-
这部电影没有留下多少文化足迹，就所花费的努力与可衡量的前进步伐的比例而言，它相当于好莱坞的凡尔登战役。
-
James Cameron’s “Avatar: The Way of Water” is a visually stunning film, but it lacks character development and a compelling story.
-
The film picks up with former Marine Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) having permanently become a member of the blue Na’vi people living on Pandora.
-
The protagonist, Jake, is irredeemably dull and it’s difficult to become emotionally attached to him.
-
The villain, Stephen Lang’s character, returns despite having been killed in the first film.
-
The film devotes much of its resources to hunting down a single person, rather than the fate of humankind.
-
Instead of getting around on giant birds, the Metkayinas ride sea creatures and have a different culture and physical characteristics than the Na’vi.
-
The film treats viewers to an hour or so of luxuriating in various enchanting wonders of the Pandora maritime community.
-
The climax of the film looks fantastic but lacks heart and excitement and doesn’t compare to the climax of other films directed by James Cameron.
-
The film doesn’t leave much of a cultural footprint, and in the ratio of effort expended to measurable forward progress, it’s the Hollywood equivalent of the Battle of Verdun.
