Spoiler-free review
Avatar: Fire and Ash gave me little to object to and not enough new story to justify another three-hour commitment. The scale and craft remain impressive, but much of the experience feels like an extension of Part Two rather than a substantial new chapter. Somewhere around the whale council, the movie lost me to sleep and required a five-minute personal intermission walk before I could finish. I enjoyed what I saw; I simply cannot give four stars to anything incapable of keeping me conscious for its entire runtime.

I liked this. I don't have a lot of notes or criticisms. It was just very long. And I don't really know that much new material was added story wise to part 2.
Granted there might've been new stuff that I missed because I nodded off during the whale council I had to get up to take a five minute personal intermission walk around for a bit to come back and finish.
Can't give anything 4 stars if it can't keep me awake for three hours. That's why I dinged it.
