Movies Like Avatar: The Way of Water Need to Be Celebrated
Perhaps this isn’t the ideal way to open an article about celebrating the Avatar films, but I feel like I must confess: I don’t love Avatar.
I certainly do like both James Cameron‘s Avatar and its just-released sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water. I saw both in theaters, immensely enjoyed the experience each time, and then went about my life, having quickly forgotten most of what I just saw. This is all to say, Avatar movies are great but I can’t see myself buying a Na’vi lunchbox anytime soon.
And that’s fine. Not every film needs to be loved. Avatar‘s financial bottom line isn’t being hurt because one or more individuals don’t love the movie. Even if Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water don’t need to be loved though, they do need to be respected. More than that, they need to be celebrated.
