Yeah it looks good to me. You can definitely see that they're doing some interesting fighting scenes utilizing monsters and magic straight from the game. Good cast.

If you look at the history of the past D&D films they were all made for Syfy and written by a bunch of people who had no interest in the role playing game. But WotC is involved with making this an actual D&D movie. Not a generic fantasy film with a few mentions of familiar spells or a single monster from the game floating by for a second.

Its a good movie. Unfortunately, the reality isn't so cinematic. J Edgar Hoover sent just 11 agents to the town, and not the hundreds depicted in the film, and most of them allegedly only intervened when absolutely necessary, and in some cases they supposedly stood by while beatings took place right in front of them.

Also sad to report that no klansman testicles were actually harmed on the road to justice. Instead, the FBI just did some good old fashioned bribery. The Bureau paid Klan informant James Jordan for information on what happened to the activists, and he obliged.

He's toruk makto and was olo'ektan, he might have been the most powerful na'vi anywhere, as well as leading the insurgency, he was the most wanted to the RDA.

Also, they didn't spend probably more than a million hunting him, there was one drop in the hallelujah mountains and then they piggybacked on the tulkun hunting, basically a background operation.

>Same villain? Really? Why would it be important to the mission to get the same guy? Expensive.

He knows how Jake works and remember, his plan would have worked, the na'vi were loosing before thousands of animals came after them, and now they won't cause he's a recom.

>So, violence bad or violence necessary? Not sure of the message here.

Both

>Sully seemed like he's suddenly anti-violence as an excuse to go find water people.

Your family not being part of a war is a very good start to not getting your family killed. He went to find the Metkayina in order to get his family out of danger.

If you look into the movie, there is an explanation for everything.
