Avatar 2 vs. Avatar
Unleashing the debate one which reigns supreme
After years in the making, the highest amount and most advanced CGI used in a production, and billions of dollars poured into both movies it’s only right we know the actual winner. Through so much trial and error James Cameron created one of the most revolutionary movies of our time, and then a couple of years later did it again! I think we all know the famous movie Avatar. So today I’m asking the big question regarding both movies: Which is better?
Let’s go over the strict facts from both movies. If we were just to be speaking about the entire profit of the movies, Avatar 1 would exceed the first movie by roughly 600 million dollars which would essentially mean it was more successful than the second. However, the money isn’t the only thing saying the first time is a charm, ratings for Avatar 1 consist of a 7.9/10 on IMDb, an 81% on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 4/5 on Common Sense Media versus the 2nd movie's major ratings consisting of a 7.6/10 on IMDb, 76% on Rotten Tomatoes, and 4/5 on Common Sense Media which would mean critic say the first movie is better than the second.
However, today we’re not just reviewing the numbers so let’s continue with some opinions. Personally, I think the first movie is much better than the second. Now don’t get me wrong I think the second movie is so amazing from the acting to the story but the first is better. No doubt about it. It tells and introduces the original story we all know and love. Personally, I also think the plot is so much better than the second because it carries us through the fear and love of the characters and their story it also shows the importance of home. The first movie is better, in my opinion, because it introduces us to the franchise with a beautiful story of home. mn
So now that we have gone through the facts and my opinion let’s wrap it up. After Avatar 1 exceeds the second in numbers and in sales, the numbers say that it wins, and after watching both movies I think that the plot in the first is so much better than the second. So based on the numbers, facts, and aspects of the movies the first movie, Avatar, is better than the second.
