Avatar was one of the lamest movies I've ever seen. I was not impressed by the "pretty." I have seen pretty things before; the Avatar pretty was not special. The story was unbearably lame. Unbearably.
Which means the sequels can't get much worse, so maybe I'll watch them.
It seems that Raist is the only person to recognize that Avatar is Dances with Wolves IN SPACE, not Pocahontas IN SPACE
Maybe NCG
And honestly I don't need every single movie to be Citizen god damn Kane, I can watch something with a predictable plot if it's fun. Hell, I hated Avatar's dumb environmental anvils (Mainly because it's easy to be in tune with the planet when your planet is literally a living God and you can neurally interface with everything on it :monster:), doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. I mean, not saying anyone else has to enjoy it, just saying I'm tired of seeing criticism of movies because they're not original or they stole a plot or whatever.
I disliked the movie because it was terrible, standard plotline aside.
lack of originality was not the problem, the problem was the movie failing to make up for it.
As good as the sequel is, The Terminator is better than Terminator 2. Terminator 2 certainly doesn't beat it 'hands down'.Quote:

Yeah, that's right. If people hate something popular it's because they're hipsters. Great.Quote:

Both are quite different in tone so I reckon its just down to personal preference. Do you like dark gritty sci fi movies or fluffy blockbusters (not that T2 is tame but you know what I mean). I prefer T2 although I always liked Arnie more as a bad Terminator rather than a good one.Quote:

Both Avatar and Titanic have their flaws but they can be admired on some level that people choose to ignore just because they made billions.Quote:

I dislike the movie because I dislike the movie, your enjoyment or dislike of the movie has absolutely no bearing on anything that I will ever do. Get over it.Quote:
