I already knew there were two sequels coming but now he's talking about yet another movie.

http://collider.com/james-cameron-avatar-2-3-4/164371/

I have zero interest in seeing another Avatar movie, let alone 3 sequels.

Good or bad idea?!

Avatar isn't bad per se, but it is one of the most overrated movies ever. I certainly wouldn't be interested in a sequel, at any rate.

I hope he hires better writers and actors and take a less cliche` route since it has established itself as being profitable.

Avatar is the type of movie that should be left alone. No sequels needed.

Where would they go with the movies? Earth? Entirely on Pandora with no humans? I have my doubts as to how well they could pull that off

Could actually be pretty damn cool, as long as they aren't rehashes of the original movie. Keep in mind that James Cameron did make one of the best sequels in movie history (I'm talking about Aliens). But on the other hand, he also did Terminator 2. So maybe you're right.

This maybe true for George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, but the highest grossing film of all time was made by James Cameron as recently as 2009 (Avatar), and despite what many people say, it was nominated for 10 Oscars, generally well rated across all websites and critics, and apparently loved by the global audience, this is especially true considering that it started slow, did not have recorded breaking first day, or first weekend earnings, but it had an impressive run with barely noticable drop in box office from one week to another, that's a sign of good word of mouth.

I thought Avatar did a good job at combining many different aspects, but outside of the visuals and sales, it was not groundbreaking.

Where would it go next? i mean the first one was kind of made to be a stand alone movie so it already was bad enough to hear the sequel talk, but 3 of them?

It's sad to see a fairly decent director and writer push the self destruct button on his career.

This will end badly.

James Cameron is just planting a new money tree really. It's the American Way. I can't get mad. The problem with sequels though is that they usually go a bit too far(i.e Rocky 5/Superman 3,4, and Superman Returns,Spider man 3, Batman and Robin, etc.). If he can keep the quality up with the sequels, then yeah he'll be fine.

And as for those talking about the story being over...he can do tons of stuff. He can make a prequel showing how the first attempt at peace didn't work and the humans killed a bunch of them. He can set it 30-50 years in the future and show humans trying to come back to invade. He can make some new planetary menace that Jake and the other blue giants have to fight. He can do tons of stuff.

Avatar - look at the pretty visuals and ignore the garbage movie

Avatar 2 - this time with pretty visuals and a script that wasn't written by a gerbil

Avatar 3 - this time with pretty visuals, a script that wasn't written by a gerbil, and actors instead of cardboard cutouts

Avatar 4 - ?? A plot maybe?? Or does he need to wait for Pocohontas 4 to come out first?

You're 100% correct, but not every successful movie has to have a completely original plot. Sometimes people enjoy going to a movie to see the groundbreaking visuals, and that's what they did with Avatar. I don't know a single person that said Avatar had a good storyline, but I know a lot of people who liked the movie just through the experiences that the visuals and the effects provided.

I haven't even seen the first one, and really don't have any interest in it. I don't understand it - the guy's got all the money he could ever want, and surely he's not doing this to express his creativity LOL. Just working his way up the wold's richest man list I guess.
