Long-awaited sequels brought plenty of action to the big screen in 2022.
Several of Hollywood’s biggest franchises delivered follow-up films worthy of the hype, with Tom Cruise taking flight again in “Top Gun: Maverick” and James Cameron transporting audiences back to Pandora with “Avatar: The Way of Water.”
There were dazzling original stories, too, including critical darlings from Steven Spielberg and Baz Lurhmann and a multiverse adventure defying expectations in this dimension or any other.
