‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ has garnered good reviews from the mass while also scoring a whole 77% on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. A review by Wion read, “Basically, I have the same complaints with ‘The Way of Water’ that I had with the original ‘Avatar’. No one in their right mind would take exception to his vision, but beneath all that eye candy, the film has a painfully conventional story involving conventional characters told in a traditional Cameron way. The director has never been an impressive deviser of complex, gripping plots and characters beyond the surface level. He does have the uncanny ability to build exciting narratives around action set pieces, and ‘The Way of Water’ is no exception. ‘The Way of Water’ is, in effect, a typical Cameron movie with all its glories and downfalls.’
