I'll be honest; I haven't seen all the episodes, as that would be a waste of time given the quality and intentions right from the start.

The Michael Jackson episode keeps repeating the same footage and tries so hard to frame him. They even included the debunked 2005 interviews, which completely undermined their credibility. Michael Jackson's team recorded everything and released footage that clearly showed how the BBC omitted crucial information and edited the interviews.

Following that scandal, Louis Theroux mentioned during an interview with the family that he wanted to provide an objective view. Even the recent documentary attempting to defame him, "Leaving Neverland," has been debunked, yet the media refuses to acknowledge it.

One of the most critical and intellectual communities can be found on topdocumentaryfilms. The documentary "Square One," which debunks all these allegations, holds the top spot. There is zero evidence to suggest MJ was guilty, even after years of investigation by the FBI and extensive surveillance. The claims made against him have been proven to be lies, as have the framed interviews.

However, this documentary fails to address any of that and works excessively hard to frame him for sensational purposes. If this is the standard and low quality of documentary making, I won't be watching any other episodes. I recommend staying away from this content.

I will Try not to say much that hasn't been covered in other reviews. But at first.. i didn't expect much of Avatar 2, even though i found Avatar 1 quit brilliant.. the bar was set so high and you know there is no other way for the story to continue other then the sky-people returning to Pandora, as the Na'vi sure as hell are not leaving the planet on spaceships !

What's noticeable technically is that the image so freakin SMOOTH and the 3D effect is actually working the way it should... i had to google afterwards to see if this wasn't actually 60 fps or something.

It's indeed 48 fps, so double the frames and it enhances the 3d effect. No wonder people are so stunned by the visuals.

The essence of the movie shows both the tribal/indigenous/spiritual side of human nature as well as great sci-fi tech. But it's all done in a convincing way, you will recognize both the technological side as well as the deeper spiritual meaning if you have any experience with either.

There are SO MANY little things that make the movie satisfying to watch.

• General Ardmore ( the female army boss ) is wearing an exoskeleton and is beating a boxing pole, but it's done SO well that it looks realistic and powerful.

• The new "stars in the sky" AKA ships from sky-people that approach pandora are using rocket boosters to slow down on entry ! It sounds and looks freaggin EPIC

• Some water vehicles are similar to exoskeletons under water like crabs, smooth AF !

• A huge hovercraft like battleship ? !

• The sea tribe and their dolphin like creatures are a great add-on. The whale, just like here on Earth, steals the show

• Little kid (Tuk / Tuktirey ) is hopping happily on the bouncy hammock like path. You feel her joy.

In fact you feel the whole family and tribe vibes really well !

• The Na'vi yelling and chanting is done well, and each time they do it before riding their beasts feels powerful !

• Reference to the Maori's HAKA !

There is too much to add in a review..

One of the most CRINGY things in movies is when a new "language" is MADE UP... like in Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings or whatever. It's often CRINGY and just not done well... at all.

Avatar isn't always perfect either in that department but it's OFTEN convincing and feels real with the emotion of the actors, VERY WELL DONE in that difficult area.

The tiny flaws the movie has are worth mentioning to be objective, but the good side overshadows it.

I've seen it only once ( so far ) but i just missed a little part of the story that explained how the general's son was suddenly there ? He's a very cool add-on, one i wouldn't have thought of myself to add, but it worked well. He's like a little Tarzan/mowgli or monkeyboy as they call him, VERY COOL.

In fact the characters added are well designed and they add to the story.

There is so much info one can add, but i rest my case..

Even if you don't like sci-fi this can be a movie for you, as i've seen people love it who actively dislike the genre... simply because it's done so well.

Avatar might sound silly on paper... blue aliens.... Who cares ?!

But it's done in such a convincing and often recognizable way.

It's a huge eye candy and GOOD-SPIRITS-FEST !

A MUST WATCH !

Here's an CRITICAL and HONEST review.

First of all, it's lame to review 1 episode and judge the whole season.

Let's start with the GOOD !

Game of Thrones license ! It will feel somewhat familiar... but that's it. No Winterfell, no North.

Obviously and naturally the production is of high quality. The same visual quality as the last seasons of GoT. The music has even improved !

It does make me curious to see more, and i NEVER watch series and am just very picky and critical in films as well.

Yes it did have a good shock moment that i enjoyed..

But that's it...

1 thing GoT had that we will NOT see in HotD.... HUMOR. Do not expect a dynamic show where the chemistry feels so REAL like GoT.

The fun with Tyrion... Tormund, The Hound.... The sneaky Little finger and Varys... The mad Joffrey and Ramsey..... The honorable men like Ned star, Rob... etc etc..

Do you like such dynamics and GREAT chemistry ? It's Devoid in HotD as you could have seen even in the trailer.

Guys lets be a little realistic here too... the first seasons of GoT just set the bar TOO high, we might never see such a great combination together. We were lucky to have so many great actors and dynamics then.

Allot of times i told myself, if it's just about great production, GoT license, shock moment etc, then Rings of Power will probably beat this show easily.

But i was pleasantly surprised nonetheless, the opening felt good... i liked the new "Daenarys" more then i thought i would since I somehow can't stand both.

And all this criticism in the reviews about Woke'ism.... Like.... If you pay attention to such stuff then you will find what you're looking for.

Don't be a fool, look at it objectively first.

There is a black guy here... altough he hasn't said much, he fits his role perfect and i enjoy seeing him... so what ?

I gave the show maybe a slightly higher rating then i describe it, but it's just 1 episode, it will be unfair to judge a book by it's cover !

I have more hope for the show then i did before the release after seeing the trailer, i thought it would be high production licensed garbage like Star Wars.... But it's CERTAINLY not a dumpsterfire like Season 8 !
