Man, Avatar kinda sucked, right??

[Rotwang]

I did enjoy Avatar.

I tend to be very critical of most films, but in this case I just went along for the ride. Yes, the story is derivative, most characters are cardboard cutouts, and some of the character motivation and logic is missing from the Theatrical release. But none of it really bothered me as much as the lapses in other films.

I'd rate it as a very competently made popcorn movie.

 

[Nwerke]

What??

You imply Avatar is the greatest film of all time. Not easy ground for even Avatar-lovers to defend, I'd've thought...

Not even gonna *try*, Colin! :lol

Rotwang's post was prolly the most concise, fair summation I've yet seen.

Plus he rejected his god for theirs. Odd how they worship the creation and not the creator.

 

[Nwerke]

...whuuuuu?

 

[rodneyfaile]

I thought they were fighting over stuff not religion. Maybe that is in the sequel, lol.

 

[The Terminator]

Necro trolling?
Who said Jake is religious??

Avatar was great either way. Only two and a half years until the next one...... bah
Underwater adventure in 3D... hopefully just as good or better than the last one

 

[Apollo]

This should be good

Better than the movie at least

LOL @ 'necro-trolling'. I must use that one. :lol

Avatar was competent. Making it automatically awesome in this day and age for movies.

It is too bad that Jake abandoned his wheel-chair body for a 9 foot tall, carbon fiber reinforced skeleton, with blue skin...

 

[The Mad Professor]

Avatar was a cinematic experience, to be sure. The special effects were simply amazing. In fact, James Cameron supposedly waited for YEARS to make the movie so the technology would be there to so it properly.

That said, you'd think that in that time frame, James Cameron would have tweaked the story to be at least somewhat more involved than an interplanetary version of "Colonials vs Native Americans."

The story itself was disappointing, to say the least, and there were times I felt like the dialogue was less intelligent than watching Jar Jar Binks talking with Ralph Wiggum.

 

[The Terminator]

I loved the story. Sometimes a simple story is much better than something elaborate.

LOL @ 'necro-trolling'. I must use that one. :lol

Just remember where you heard it first, I coined the phrase

I didn't go see the movie in the theater - I was hesitant to see it at first (I'm not a Cameron fan) so I waited for it to come out on DVD. Got the movie (used) sat down... and well... I turned it off after an hour. Visually, the movie was wonderful - the effects were amazing. The story was terrible and grossly predictable/slanted. I was very disappointed.

That's my two cents.

Needed less blue cartoons, more Michelle Rodriguez.

Everything's better with more Michelle Rodriguez.

Clicking does not work.

I will not see the sequel in the theater without being on drugs.

sequelS they're shooting 2 and 3 back to back. A2 in Dec 2015 and A2 in Dec 2016 apparently.

I still haven't seen the first one. I'm debating buying 3D glasses for my TV before doing so...but I'm thinking that's probably a waste of money. And without 3D...well....what's the point, really?

 

[SofaKing01]

If you must see it - wait for it to come on TV one weekend and set aside a few hours to watch. If you're not excited and you haven't seen it yet - 3D would be a waste of your precious time and money.

 

[Solo4114]

Well, I'd still get use out of it for Dredd3D.

 

[rodneyfaile]

The 3D in Avatar is the best 3D I have seen, it is amazing, but the movie is still worth watching in HD.

 

[J EM]

The way I feel about Avatar is the same way I felt about SuckerPunch. :rolleyes Just eye candy, but real awesome the way the world of Pandora looked in 3D.
