I will watch it if one of my friends watches it and tells me that the humans aren't portrayed as the ultimate scum of the earth.
... But you do want to pump the franchise for more money, right Cameron? That's what you're saying here?
I'll hope that they got all the preachyness out of the way with the first one and that the sequels will have more room for character development, which is really what the first one lacked. If you think about it, trilogies in movies generally have the first movie focused on plot and scene-setting; while trilogies generally have weaker plots but better character depth. And while the first one's strengths were neither characters nor plot (read:CGI), I think if they keep up with the great CGI while simultaneously crafting better characters, they might actually end up with decent movies. But we'll see about that, as another trend in sequels is a decline in quality.
*sigh* Okay guys, I'll go rally the Blood Ravens, the rest of you go rustle up some Imperium troops. Before you go though you've gotta draw straws to see who's recruiting the Orks.
For the 'Waaaagh!' and what not comrades, let's go stomp us some smurfs.

He can't hear you because he's too busy being more rich than you'll ever be.CannibalRobots said:
Shoot, he's more rich than about 20 of us put together.
Still, I did enjoy Avatar and the Abyss so I'll hopefully enjoy a second film. It is nice that he's actually taking time to make this film. Better than pumping out film after film after film *looks at Twilight*.
First one "Dances with wolves", i'm hoping he keeps the Kevin Costner theme going and does the bodyguard with the sequel.
Im not sure if its a good thing I knew instantly who you were talking about.Casual Shinji said:

But, I guess that would be too short of a movie.... so lets make it a love story/ why humans are evil/ the planet is really alive and the animals fight us (humanity) kind of movie.

Yes, because James Cameron is known for his low quality, shitty Sci-Fi films.CannibalRobots said:
Without him we wouldn't have such cinematic atrocities as Aliens, Terminator 1 and 2, The Abyss, and Titanic. Screw you James Cameron for making such abominations. Lord knows Avatar is the worst film to come out in the last 20 years.
I love how people are already making judgments about a movie that hasn't even begun production. Look at it this way, Terminator 2 was a far better film than the original. Aliens was a far better film than Ridley Scott's Alien. What can you say? Maybe the second time's the charm for Cameron?
Why would that matter? The sequel is going to suck anyway, the third one will be alright and then the 4th one is pure shameless cash-in.Mezzo. said:Don't necessarily see how they could go about continuing this. The ending to the first one had quite a lot of closure to it.
Yeah, you heard me. I enjoyed Aliens more than the original. Not saying the original was bad, in fact its slow pace and silent moments building up to the final conflict aboard the escape pod was incredibly eerie and immersive. The infamous scene of the Alien coming out Kane's chest will forever be in movie history as well as that damn cat scaring the hell out of you.The_root_of_all_evil said:
Aliens had all that transferred over from the original, as well as a lot more action and one of the most suspenseful endings and end battles in Sci-Fi history. Ridley Scott's best film is Blade Runner, which I would say probably beats the whole Alien series put together, in terms of story-telling.
So.... yeah, looking forward to the sequel to Avatar (Avatars?)
