It's the Mandalorian actor. Yup. It sure is.

Those reviews are nice but what will really ultimately matter is how many people actually pay to go see it in a theater. You'll find this interesting: https://variety.com/2022/film/news/avatar-2-budget-expensive-2-billion-turn-profit-1235438907/

$2 billion is possible when cinema admission are $20-25 (3D), $15 (No 3D). What were prices in 2009? The ticket prices are not the issue. The issue here is attendance which was declining even before COVID hit and attendance now is nowhere near back to full recovery. We've had a systemic fundamental shift with the business model. Most consumers now are fine with just waiting until the movie goes on a streaming service instead of going to see it in a movie theater. I'm not saying it's impossible that Avatar 2 hits the 2 billion global mark but it will be a tough challenge in today's environment.

Cinema used to be ~4.50 or less way back in the 80s, and then one could see a true dollar movie, as well. Wait three months and see 'em for cheap. The popcorn wasn't nearly as outrageously priced, either.

Adjusted for inflation, movie theater ticket prices in the 80's are equivalent to what they cost now and besides, movie ticket prices are not the number one reason why theater attendance has declined. The number one reason is the advent of streaming services and continually improving home entertainment tech.

Avatar 1 had incredibly bad writing, especially in the dialogue department, so I highly doubt anything said by these reviewers. The film was terrible.
There's no way to quantify this of course but I'd say that at least 80% of the people who went to see Avatar in 2009 did so for the 3D visuals and NOT the quality of the writing.
