Avatar 3 Fans Aren’t Bothered by Fire and Ash’s RT Score
Despite a franchise-low Rotten Tomatoes score, anticipation for Avatar: Fire and Ash remains sky-high among its dedicated fan base, who are looking forward to another epic journey to Pandora regardless of critical consensus.
Fans react to Avatar: Fire and Ash’s franchise low Rotten Tomatoes score
Avatar: Fire and Ash has debuted with a 70% score on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the lowest-rated film in James Cameron’s blockbuster trilogy so far. However, the film series’ fans are largely shrugging off the metric, expressing their excitement and historical perspective on X (formerly Twitter).
One fan highlighted the score’s upward trend, writing, “On track don’t worry.” Others pointed to the box office power of the previous sequel, noting, “To be fair: Way of Water was a 76 on Rotten Tomatoes yet that film still made over 2 billion at the box office.”
Many echoed a sentiment of consistency, with one user stating, “The original has like an 83% and WoW has a 76%. This is pretty much right around the standard for these movies. If you didn’t like the first two, you won’t like this. If you did, then get comfy for another 3+ hours in a world you love.”
Avatar 3 reactions ranged from dismissive — “I will still go and watch it, i don’t trust Rotten Tomatoes anymore”— to curious, with one fan speculating, “A 70% still isn’t terrible! Curious to see how the audience score shakes out. Maybe it’s a ‘Last Jedi’ situation.”
The story plunges the Sully family into greater peril as the war for Pandora gets bigger. With Earth dying, the RDA’s colonization efforts become more desperate, forcing Jake and Neytiri to face a devastating new threat from within. Cameron has promised that Fire and Ash will blur moral lines, introducing the Ash People, a fiery Na’vi clan led by Varang who ally with the RDA.
Overall, the response suggests that Avatar: Fire and Ash’s Rotten Tomatoes score is still trending upward as more reviews come in. As a globally cherished franchise with a proven theatrical pull, Avatar 3 is expected to remain a major box office hit for the 2-3 months it’ll play in theaters.
