I think I liked this one slightly better than the first one, but there are
still plot holes the size of tree roots IMHO (or humpback whales if that's
more appropriate). There's also an equal number of stereotypes and
clichés paraded throughout the piece. It is an entertaining watch and
audio-visually very appealing, it's not like Cameron isn't a great
craftsman. He knows how to create an immersive fantasy world, this time
with his favourite element: water. But I've never gotten the hype of the
first film, and I don't see it here either.
My main criticism would be that both movies start out presenting a giant
world, powerful adversaries and events with potentially global connections
and consequences, but then at its climax, the movies both end in somewhat
local or rather personal skirmishes. I guess it's just ramping up for the
rest of the series, but it's still somewhat irritating.
