One social media user tweeted, “Spectacular! It delivers for every character. It has some of the best action in James Cameron's career. It's beautiful in heart, sight, & sound. It's huge, rich, & sweeping. It is the most movie in one movie I've ever experienced.”
Another went gaga over the film's emotional depth, saying, “AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH, much like the first two movies, is a visually spectacular experience, but also the most emotional entry so far, building on the world and the characters in fascinating ways. I loved it.”

One tweet says it is “a glorious war film,” adding, “Cameron tests fate vs faith on the biggest & most emotional scale possible. This really is every ‘pro’ of every film so far - feeling like the 3rd act of the franchise. Technically (obviously) magnificent. Just a generational blockbuster.”
Others talked about the film’s darker and sad tone, saying, “This chapter feels darker, more volatile, and more personal. Moving melodrama. Biblical sacrifices. Explosive ambushes. Oh, there's also two bloodlusty villains.”While acknowledging the visual spectacle, many felt the narrative felt repetitive and familiar, while they criticised the film's long runtime.
One early viewer wrote, “Saw an early screening of #AvatarFireAndAsh last night. Had a good time with it. The visuals are still amazing and all the action scenes are top notch. It does feel like they're doing a lot of the same stuff from the last movie and it's a bit too long. Overall it's a good watch.”
Another expressed similar concerns saying, “#AvatarFireAndAsh PEAK CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE. MINDBLOWING storytelling and visuals, BEST movie in the Avatar franchise. Only downside: some scenes are repetitive and slightly predictable.”Criticism was sharp around the film’s length and narrative, with one saying, “#AvatarFireAndAsh is, as expected, a visual spectacle and a masterclass display of the latest VFX tech. But, it does feel like much of the same. Narratively VERY dense and often tedious. I fear Big Jim’s big franchise has overstayed its welcome for me.”

Another fan bluntly said, “Avatar: Fire and Ash has some fun action set pieces but boy if it isn’t mostly a repetitive bore. Virtually identical to The Way of Water and feels pointless… These movies also never need to be three hours long.”“#AvatarFireAndAsh finally brings the franchise's long-standing narrative weaknesses to the surface,” read one post.
“It’s still an entertaining show, but this time the 3-hour runtime truly weighs on it, and the ending feels far from resolute,” said another.Fans swoon over Avatar villains. Villains, however, appear to be one of the film’s strongest talking points. Oona Chaplin’s character Varang drew particular praise. “By the way #Varang is easily one of the most compelling villains in the saga,” one tweet read.

“Every look, every move screams no remorse. Cold, driven, unforgettable. Made Quaritch look like a puppy.”
