Don't see where you're getting that from. I'm not the one bashing Avatar for having a cliched story.

It wasn't cliché.

Cut him some slack, everyone is entitled to air his opinion...if you don't like it, don't post.

Then whats the point of argument? Why would anyone argue anything, ever? Because we all have different opinions. I'm entitled to my opinion too. And I'm entitled to disagree.

Why can't people just enjoy the movie and shut up about it. Who cares, I like thecliche story, I like the decent CGI, I like the acting, I like the colonel, I like the girl from Fast and Furious, I like everything about the movie.

It was awesome. The story wasn't anything special, but it was told well, although it could've been more interesting. I liked the bit with the connection stuff though.

Can everyone please stop with the cliche storyline threads about Avatar? When did people all of a sudden turn into film critics?

Where were these threads when people were praising Transformers 2?

What about District 9, which gets so much love in here? Isnt that filled with one action movie cliche after another?

Avatar isnt trying to have an original story, it is trying to have a story that is easy to understand so it immerses us into its amazing world and makes us care about the characters. In that aspect, the movie is an enormous success.

Strange, I thought District 9 managed to avoid several action movie cliches.

Before I even watched it, my friend told me how the movie starts. "So this guy from a group of people want to sabotage some other people..." Oh, so then he's gonna become friends with those people, and go against his own people? Right. I mean is all the hype for this movie because of how good it looks? It was definitely one of the prettiest movies I've seen, but as for the storyline, I've been there, done that. What do you think? Probably everyone's gonna disagree. :P

And for the guy above: People on this board seem to generally hate Transformers 2 apart from the girl it seems.

District 9 had some original ideas in its opening.

Probably the most overrated movie this year.C-Lee

Not really what I meant, but OK

What you said was that he shouldn't have aired his opinion in the first place, because lots of other people had also said the same thing. That being true doesn't change the fact that he's entitled to air that tired old opinion again and again if he so wishes. What I meant was that if you disapprove of the re-posting of a similar thread, why get involved? Since by doing so, you continue the perpetuation of that which you purport to oppose, no?

It wasn't cliché.

Its funny people are complaining about us bagging out the movie but I bet they'd be content with seeing a dozen threads praising it though. biggest_loser

No, I wouldn't, because those threads always degenerate in cesspools of Avatar hate... :P

There is none. People are so strongly divided on this movie that numerous clashes are inevitable... as such, both sides are going to get angry, and no one is going to get anywhere. I doubt I could change your opinion on this film BL, just I doubt you could change mine. We really need to let these threads die...

There's plenty of people who agree that they didn't like as much. So whats the difference curly? biggest_loser

Indeed. You see it in 3D? I saw it in the London Imax...truly amazing. I was waving bits of ash away from my face like an idiot (I'm sure you know the scene I'm talking about)

I think people are confusing cliche with satire.Vandalvideo

:? I think you are.

[QUOTE="Samurai_Xavier"]I think you are.Vandalvideo

Satire is purposefully hackneyed to invoke humor, ridicule or irony. Avatar isnt going for any of those.

Oh, I do... I saw the film twice in 3D, and once in 2D... not in IMAX, at least not yet... ;)

The storyline may have been cliche and done better in other films, but you know what is was damn entertaining. It wasn't the best film of the year by far, and the characters were flat as hell but I still enjoyed it despite that.

What I thought of the movie:

Story: 8/10 - Cliche but fun to watch.

Sound/Music: 9/10 - Don't you just love the African Tribe music?

CGI: 7/10 - Not as good as Transformers 2.

Acting: 10/10 - Tehcharacter's EMOTIONS are by far the best, it made me actually care for them.
