I'm absolutely with you on this, I think this is building on hype alone. IMHO I really don't think this is gonna be any good, I mean the first one aside from just the visuals it was mediocre at best. The trailer for this is just meh!
I remember back when the first one released and it was breaking records, so I admittedly got caught up in the hype, despite the trailer not really doing anything for me. When I eventually got to see it, I thought I was part of a cruel joke or something... it wasn't bad, but super mediocre, as you said. The saddest part of all this for me is that I feel Cameron will have wasted his remaining years purely on Avatar, and we've therefore missed out on some much better original works from him

I'm not really a fan of him as a person, but he's great at what he does and has created some of the greatest films ever IMO.

Yeah I agree on some level, but why did he spend the last decade doing these films then? I mean he worked for years without even shooting one single frame with delay after delay. So him stopping now kind of seems like either giving up because he's tired or that the story is just not worth the effort, which again would bring the question why he spent so much time on this in the first place. Don't know, he knows what he's doing. But given that he put so much work into this, at the same time putting out half assed things as a producer like Terminator Dark Fate and not directing Alita himself it always seemed like he wanted this pile of films to be his legacy and couldn't really concentrate on doing anything else. He even said once that he realized that he can tell all of the stories he wants to tell in that universe and doesn't need to do anything else. Giving that up kind of reveals that it's probably not so great to begin with.
