There was no way to compress the entire 60 hours of the three avatar "books" into three 90 minute, or even 120 minute, movies, without doing what was done, and even less chance to turn all three books into a separate trilogy because the audiences wouldn't keep interested through three sets of two or three because there isn't enough plot resolution to make breaking points.
The absolute best he could've done is added 10 to 30 minutes to the movie and used it for pacing so the lines didn't feel like the whole movie was on fast forward.
it is totally doable to break this movie into 2 parts, each with different focus points. i havent read the book or seen the animated book 1 or w.e but with the plot and the movie given, even i can come up with general storyline for the 2 part of this movie. and ur talking about hollywood people here, they have imaginations and ideas far more than i am, and they can make ways to PR for splitted part of each book. heck look at harry potter, book 7 is getting split into 2 and ppl are still interested because once it's good then general audience then people will see it. it is better than having a bunch of ideas cramped into 90 minutes of movie to make a disaster
