No one in their right mind would take exception to his vision, but beneath all that eye-candy, the film has a painfully conventional story involving conventional characters told in a traditional Cameron way. The director has never been an impressive deviser of complex, gripping plots and characters beyond surface level. He does have the uncanny ability to build exciting narratives around action set pieces, and 'The Way of Water' is no exception. 'The Way of Water' is, in effect, a typical Cameron movie with all its glories and downfalls." <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-avatar-the-way-of-water-movie-review-visually-gorgeous-james-camerons-film-repeats-originals-mistakes-543654">Read full review here:</a>&nbsp;</p>
