"Avatar" has always had its critics. I wasn't one of them — at least at the beginning. I was blown away by the first film. I was able to compartmentalize the comparisons to "Dances with Wolves," "FernGully" and "Pocahontas" and marvel at the world James Cameron had created.

Throughout the course of the sequels, however, the good will I once had for the franchise is draining. And fast.

The first film, released in 2009, followed Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), the former Marine turned blue giant Na'vi, the indigenous species that inhabits the distant plant of Pandora. Instead of being a pawn of the Resources Development Administration (RDA), the militarized organization seeking to strip Pandora of its resources for a dying Earth, Jake decided to remain in his "avatar" Na'vi body permanently after falling in love with Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) and proving himself to her clan, killing his former superior-turned-nemesis Col. Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) in the process.
