I say no. they made a good movie James Cameron is going to screw it up (I'd like to call this, doing a spiderman/star wars) Not all blockbusters require sequels. especially not since they stir up fanboy wars when everything goes bad.
do we need a sequel to avatar

Why does everything need a goddamn sequel these days? No one has original ideas anymore... did you know there are THREE Little Mermaid movies?? Seriously? Why?!
Besides, if something was good and you try to make a sequel in hopes it will be equal or better, you'll fail. You always fail. With very few, minor exceptions. Also, Avatar was only good because it was 3D. That's all that anyone raves about; no one mentions the story or anything.

To quote Yahtzee: "Short answear no. Long answear nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo."
I didn't see it in 3D and I loved it. The plot and characterizations weren't specatuclar but they were solid, which is better than what we see in a lot of movies these days. There were strong female characters, the novum (the Avatar concept) was fascinating and even in 2D the movie was bloody gorgeous. But mostly, for whatever reason, it was just damn fun to watch.Klarinette said:
I don't think there should be a sequel though.
No. It was an almost three hour movie. It had a good story, but it was brought to a complete and acceptable end. The sequel might be good- but I don't see how it could be.
Not a problem.Foxbat Flyer said:
Although, I suppose a prequel could work, if it takes place when the humans a=first arrive, and end up fighting for their lives, or something.

there will be another movie (not necessarily a sequel), all we can hope is that it was as good as the first one.
Lol, yeah. Would put a couple of things straight that werent right in the first onehazabaza1 said:

Since Jake became a Nav'i at the end of the movie, it obviusly means it will take place on Pandora. The only reason that Pochahontas took place with the brittish, is because in the first movie, the blond dude that she loves (Forgot his name) got shot, and had to go back, and Disney doesn't want to have to create a new Love interest, so they choose for Pochahontas to follow him in the sequel.
Avatar 2? Inevitable. I smell at least a trilogy. How about this:
Few years later, another human ship is coming to Pandora. The governments and corporations obviously want to do more with that planet (moon). They pick a better place to do their corporate mining operations, one that isn't laying under a f*cking civilisation. They sign some kind of an agreement with the Na'vi (and Jake), so it all seems well. What could go wrong? Many things. Possible wrong-goings: a) They dig out something big, ancient and angry. b) Humans aren't the only aliens who want the unobtanium. Other invaders come. Either way, conflict arises. And with conflict, there is a movie. And CGI explosions.
But it will probably be a disappointment anyway. Like the first film.

sadly you are wrong a bit there. disney did make a new love interest. his name was john locke i believe and although Pocahontas movies wern't what you would call "historically accurate", they did follow the history of Pocahontas well enough because they did not make a third movie because in history Pocahontas died on the way back to from Britain to her home of smallpox or measles. She died on the boat anyway on the way home.... I read alot and i paid attention in american history class....and my sister rented the 2nd movie when we were kids, Sue me!
