Avatar: Fire and Ash
(2025)
|

|
“Avatar: Fire and Ash” will not bore you. There are too many propulsive sequences designed to keep you moving forward. It may not make you think deeply—but perhaps that, too, is by design.

If the film sometimes swells with abundance, it does so in the spirit of its subject, a man for whom enough was never enough when it came to justice or joy.

What makes the film Respect so good is that Hudson, who can also sing, offers her a glimpse of an uncertain woman who found her voice, her style, and finally... .the respect she earned.

Lapacazo Magrira Sandoval
|
The screenplay is written by Greg Rucka opens the story for sequels and the fact the story deals with immortals opens the creative team to all kinds of developments. Here's hoping that Gina Prince-Bythewood stays for the long haul.
