Critics are praising “Avatar: The Way of Water” after its London World Premiere, with many celebrating its visual effects and its emotional payoff and calling it a return to form for director James Cameron.
Digital Spy’s Ian Sandwell wrote that the long-in-the-making sequel is “unsurprisingly” a “visual masterpiece with rich use of 3D and breathtaking vistas,” though he calls the story thin with too many characters. “James Cameron pulls it together for an extraordinary final act full of emotion and thrilling action,” he added.
“Never bet against @JimCameron,” CinemaBlend’s Sean O’Connell wrote. “His #AvatarTheWayOfWater surpasses the original on every level. Incredible visuals, but a much more emotional connection to the characters and story. The final hour is Cameron flexing every muscle, reminding blockbuster filmmakers how it’s done.”

Whether you’ve been eager to return to Pandora or not, it’s safe to say that we’ve had an awfully long wait for Avatar: The Way of Water, the first of multiple sequels to James Cameron’s epic sci-fi saga. The first reactions to Avatar: The Way of Water have emerged and it sounds like James Cameron has done it again.
Just saw #AvatarTheWayOfWater – will certainly divide people as there are some cheesy bits But James Cameron is a master and you really do, utterly invest in the characters, and nothing else comes close to being this immersive. I was cool on the original but I loved this.

Really enjoyed #AvatarTheWayOfWater about as much as the first movie. Stunning visuals and a story that you can tell Cameron has been wanting to tell for ages. But it does feel like Cameron has one more left and not multiple sequels.
