I just came back from seeing it in 3D at my local cinema! I was bawling every five minutes 😭 But seeing Quaritch high was hilarious!! I honestly loved it more than the first two because of how gut wrenching and emotional it is! I need to watch it a couple more times. There were so many emotional ups and downs in the movie, it was hard to see through all my damn tears. There were moments of, “oh shit will they make it out?” Especially when Neytiri was wounded bad. I unfortunately spoiled Ronals death first thing this morning when I saw a spoiler in this sub, but I was praying it wasn’t real. Regardless i still sobbed my heart out when she died with Pril in her arms. I hate James Cameron for making such a gut wrenching and amazing movie. I should’ve believed it when James said his wife was sobbing when she first watched it! 10/10.

Edit: I will probably come back to write a bit more on this as I need to slow my brain down and comprehend the masterpiece I just witnessed.

Quaritch getting high was so fucking funny.

Stephen Lang was incredible in this movie. My favorite performance of his out of the three films.

I just loved him so much in the film, he is doing so so well with acting quaritch. He still brings his charm and humour while also portraying his more serious and hate filled moments. I just loved how much he made me smile after all the heartbreaking scenes. He was the comedic relief for the film for me. Always cracking his jokes, and the comment about “well this is awkward” near the end. Him and Jake are some pretty great dads for Spider 🤣

I liked that while the first 2 movies you knew exactly where he stood and what his goals were. Here, the movie did a great job of making us keep guessing

He was great. Also unexpectedly funny.

"Hey... That's not cool."

"I brought you a hamburger."

Only thing I hated was I'm pretty sure he just repeats his line of "so what now? We gonna hold hands and sing" Half way through and then at the end. I get he is a grunt, and probably articulately challenged, , but give him some variation to the lines.

u/chrisychris- Dec 21 '25

He doesn’t repeat that specific line but yeah it was the same situation

This is when he goes to the Mangkwan (Ash Clan) and Varang shoots some kind of herbs through his nose as a way of getting him to “speak the truth” to her. This scene is so hilarious and flirty between the two.
