AVATAR 2: THE WAY OF THE WATER Review by Joe Viglione

• joe viglione on December 13, 2022 3:06 pm

  I’m stunned by all the hype. Viewed last night at a critic’s screening. Was hoping for a lot more and less violence. 

• joe viglione on December 13, 2022 3:03 pm

  This is a good movie but a big disappointment to me, and I’m a James Cameron fans, as noted in my many reviews of his many movies. Terminator 2: Judgment Day improved on the great original. This, like Matrix 4, is a retread, and like Matrix 4, not as entertaining. Interesting how it walks alongside Wakanda Forever very nicely, and from the same company. Good for one screening, but what do I know, there’s not much else in the cinema these days.

AVATAR 2: THE WAY OF THE WATER

Review by Joe Viglione

This film parallels Wakanda Forever in a way that seems to imply that Marvel decided to release its own rendition weeks before Disney...oh, wait...they are the same company.  How does that happen?

Do you remember that TV episode of Ozzie and Harriet guest-starring on Lloyd Bridge’s Sea Hunt?  Of course you don’t.   No one would be crazy enough to film it.   When James Cameron came out with an instant classic, the Terminator, he followed it up with an even better film: Terminator 2: Judgment Day.  However the Terminator series has not been able to continue to catch the magic, just as the new Matrix IV was redundant beyond redundant.  With a budget of $350–400 million – adding in promotion and other necessities -  nearly half a billion dollars, possibly – one would expect more than a re-hashing of the previous, groundbreaking film.  But, alas, we have the Na'v version of the Swiss Family Robinson – Jake Sully’s tribe, Lost in Space meets Waterworld, two big screen pictures that lost a lot of money (1995’s Waterworld produced by and starring Kevin Kostner, cost nearly 175 million – a massive sum almost 30 years ago, bringing in 264.2 million; 1998’s Lost in Space brought in 136.24 mill, on a budget of 80 million)  Let’s do the math: 255 million for both films a quarter of a century ago, return on investment 398 million is tough for a film company to take.

But we are talking Disney and James Cameron here with deep pockets, aren’t we?  Kate Winslet from Titanic is “Ronal, a free diver of the Metkayina and Tonowari's wife,” (finding that info on Wikipedia, as the financials above,) and to this critic, Winslet’s presence is an indicator that Cameron decided to fuse his two big motion pictures, Titanic and Avatar, into one.  Not a bad idea, perhaps, but the lingering problem is the biggest flaw in the first movie – the exile from Conan the Barbarian, Stephen Lang as Colonel Miles Quaritch.  Perhaps the most unlikeable character from Avatar 1, he is the Bane to the Batman series, a villain who isn’t up to the standards of Heath Ledger’s Joker or Arnold Schwarzenegger as the original malicious Terminator, and without a Dr. Doom or Green Goblin who can terrify simply by their presence, Colonel Miles Quaritch falls far short of what is needed. That Lang is signed up for about four Avatar films is to this appreciator of James Cameron’s talents, regrettable.

Edie Falco as General Frances Ardmore looks horrible. You’ve got the menacing Tony Soprano’s gangster wife, my God, and she’s as unrecognizable in human form as Winslet is in Na’v form. Just let her be what the audience loves, the sweetly malicious ruthless gun moll like Ma Barker.  These people are raping the resources of a planet in killing with impunity.  But they are caricatures of true villainy, a grotesque imitation of Heath Ledger’s joker or Anthony Hopkins’ Hannibal Lecter, and therein, along with a sideways storyline, is the problem.

The audience loved seeing the woeful Colonel Quaritch get sliced and diced by Zoe Saldaña’s Neytiri in the first film.  Cameron’s penchant for bringing back his previous players, Susan Alexandra "Sigourney" Weaver from Cameron’s Aliens (2nd Alien flick, 1986,) handsome Sam Worthington from 2009’s Terminator Salvation (Directed by McG, but spawned from Cameron’s series; 2009 being the same year as the original Avatar, Worthington doing double duty,) and I intentionally use the word “handsome” as these actors in blue Na’v suits aren’t very sexy to the human viewers. So take away the sexual attraction most movies lean on to draw audience, and a decent storyline and you are left with gratuitous violence underwater.

The film itself is equally gratuitous (unnecessary or unwarranted) for a number of reasons.  When Christopher Lee came back from the dead in Hammer Films’ Dracula Has Risen from the Grave, it was welcome for the addiction-feeding of horror movie fans.  Lang’s pedestrian army-boy, Col Quaritch, is your garden variety over-macho psycho with a gun in his hand. 

Had Avatar 2: The Way of the Water arrived as the first in the series, it would be spectacular. But we’ve waited thirteen years for a “been there, done that.”  The problem with sequels, which Cameron avoided with Terminator 2, Judgment Day, improving on the menace of the original, is what Universal films faced after the first horror talkie, Bela Lugosi’s Dracula (1931) and Boris Karloff’s Frankenstein (1931) …yes, The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) matched the brilliance of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, but does anyone remember 1936’s sequel, Dracula’s Daughter, even though allegedly taken from a deleted chapter of Bram Stoker’s original Dracula novel?  When the sequel pile of monster movies originally concluded with Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948, and as hokey as it sounds, a classic and somewhat revered film,) well, you get my point.  The resurrected Col Quaritch …memories from the thug implanted into a Na’v avatar, is the punchline, the sick black-comedy relief, to the film’s detriment.

So, are those the three and a half hours of filmmaking worth it?  Wearing 3D glasses for that length of time is a bother, but having the whale-type creatures with high intelligence (a little borrow from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, no doubt) as a highlight and the beautifully crafted fishies in the underwater scenes as the wonderment that we expect from this series, it’s not a disaster. Avatar2 is more like a disappointment.  I expected so much more.  And hearing Zoe Saldaña’s Neytiri repeating “My Jake” over and over is not going to get Zoe an Academy Award.  I wanted a squirt gun, honest to God, to shut her up.  The Sully Family Robinson would be a nice film for children if not for all the blood and gore, watching an arm going flying off of a bad guy is extreme violence, in both set up and execution.  It was a cringe moment, and not exactly what this filmgoer would call entertainment.

As stated in the opening, this is James Cameron channeling his Titanic through its own film "avatar," and the thirteen years and perhaps close to half a billion could have been better utilized on the script.

a note from jim silva on Green Line Jim Silva South Medford Residents Together

 

After so many years of advocacy, meetings and communication with the MBTA, the Green Line Extension stops at Medford/Tufts and Ball Square/South Medford are finally opening on Monday!

This day would not have been possible without all of the amazing activism, dedication and passionate work from our community advocates and working group members. 

Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn be on hand at the Ball Square/South Medford Station on Monday at 7am with Somerville Mayor Katjana Ballantyne to greet riders, gain some feedback and celebrate this accomplishment with everyone who made it possible. Then at 10, the Mayor will be at Medford/Tufts for a ceremony with our federal delegation, State and MBTA leaders as well as Christine Barber - State Representative. 

We hope to see you all there!

GARY PIG GOLD: PRONOUNCED MORRIS....BEE GEES MAURICE GIBB + WILL YOU LOVE ME TOMORROW, EARLY IN THE MORNING AND YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY

 

 

 

Pronounced “MORRIS,” by the way

Let’s see… John Entwistle. George Harrison. So how come it’s the utterly coolest-by-far members of some of our all-time favorite bands who seem to depart far, far too soon?

 

Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees truly went horizontal on us as well, almost twenty years ago already. And, like Messrs. Entwistle and Harrison, Maurice in many ways did appear to be “the quiet one” amongst his musical company. But really only to those who weren’t listening closely enough. 

 

On the surface certainly overshadowed by twin brother Robin’s other-worldly vibrato (not to mention Barry Gibb’s wholly Kennedy-esque jumbo pin-up persona), Maurice was in truth the literally unsung hero behind the Bee Gees’ multitude of stage, studio, and especially compositional achievements. For example, à la the so-called Quiet Beatle, his voice was always the key, if seemingly “ghost” harmony in the Gibbs’ intricate three-tiered vocal blend. Plus Maurice’s sense of humor (off- and most pointedly back-stage as well) was every single inch the absurdly dark equal to that of The Who’s wickedly bass-bottomed Ox-man, as even surface exposure to the Bee Gees’ vast library of unreleased, um, “party tapes” will certainly reveal. 

 

On a less tragicomic tack, it is interesting to consider that sly-fox Maurice remained the only Gibb to never offer a full solo album up for public consumption. Though certainly not for lack of trying: When the trio first split beneath a hail of chart-topping rancor in the late Sixties, Maurice launched sessions in earnest alongside then brother-in-law Billy Lawrie and even Ringo Starr (!) for a long-player to be prophetically titled The Loner. Check with your preferred file sharer to sample for yourself all the wily wonders well underway …before Barry and Robin came calling with what was to become that first of several Bee Gee comebacks, “Lonely Days.”

And on the subject of classy career revivals, when 2001’s splendid “This Is Where I Came In” unexpectedly put those Gibbs right back upon a plateau every note the equal of their mid-Seventies and even mid-Sixties glory, near complete credit for this sobering turn of fortunes was duly awarded to Maurice’s greatly increased role in what, alas, turned out to be the Bee Gees’ swansongs. 

Now, on the heels of that latest rebirth Barry and Robin were reportedly dedicating every waking hour to keeping their physical and vocal chops at tip-top, road-ready level. But Maurice? Why, he was, so characteristically, consumed instead by a newfound passion for the utterly unmusical pursuit of Paintball combat… and his Royal Rat Rangers (I kid you not) team had just made the semi-finals at London’s Crystal Palace World Campaign Cup competitions!

 

So it only remains to suggest at this juncture that perhaps the entire world could benefit greatly if we all just took some time out as soon as possible for one great big round of global Paintball in Maurice’s matronly, peace-loving honor. Because you just know he would be the first to gamely join in, with a spit and a grin, to fill as only he could that irreplaceable hole in our intricate harmonic fabric. 

 

Godspeed, Maurice. Born on the 22nd of this month, 1949.

You were far from a Loner in this world.     

         

i can't believe/the magic of your size/will you still love me tomorrow....
