I hated Avatar, the movie had a completly childish story, unoriginal, was pretensious and the only thing that had it going was the amazing CG with 3D. The presentation and marketing was what made the game big, but overall is not any bit fun.

The movie took way to long to finsih and was completly a disapointing for me as an mature person to see such a dumb and chilsih storyline be rewarded with so much praise. It was one of the few movie I went to watch that I wished to leave... they dragged the story, as if they could because was epic... but in reality a kid movie like TERRA had better sotry and more orinigal than this overhyped Avatar.

I was hyped about the movie before seeing, knowing it was from James Cameron (TERMINATOR and TITANIC is in my top 20 of all time) and had amzing production values. But after seeing the oly thing I have to say, is that was a waste.

What you think?

5/10. The special effects were amazing, but they weren't used to good effect often enough. And the rest is medicore or worse.

Avatar was good , but not great. The issues of the unoriginality are valid , though I still found it enjoyable.

Good all around movie.

7.5. The plot was very underrated, and the effects were overrated (But they were still amazing).

7/10. I liked it, but it left a lot to be desired. There's no way they should be talking about it as the possible winner for Best Picture.

5.5/10 Excellent special effects and 3D, but a godawful script, and some mediocre performances.

The CG was great but the rest was an embarassment for a movie. No likeable characters no real story, poor sotry telling, predicatble, very boring action scenes nearing the end. 3/10 for having sick CG that will pave the road for actual movies to use it

I haven't watched it yet. As soon as I get a chance to talk to the person who I was planning on watching it with, I'll see it.

8/10 I just really enjoyed it, no real complaints other than the 3D was hard to focus being forced to sit in the front row due to there being no other seats. I mean, goddamn, it's been out two months and the theatre is still packed to such an extent.

9/10, it has its problems but when taken as it should be taken, a cinematic experience like Star Wars, then it was fantastic. That being said it shouldn't be nominated for any Oscars other than technical ones.

I thought it was a great movie.. I wasn't impressed with the CGI so much as its art direction and the like.. The story though a tried and true one still made me enjoy the storyline, people have to understand that just about every epic out there including LOTR can be ripped apart in typical order to the overarching things that will happen.. Overall it was a amazing movie in my eyes for the type of fantasy/sci-fi based ones that are out there.

7.5/10 I dident watch it in theaters, I watched it on my computer. I can't judge it on the 3-D than and honestly I hate 3-D so that would have probably lowered my score. The movie was pretty good but not spectacular.

I haven't seen it yet. I can't deal with the whole 3D thing anyway, usually doesn't work so well for me. I'll wait for the DVD/Blu-Ray.

sigh i hate people who hate on things because they feel important.....anyways i thought it was a great film with a great cast. And to be honest i thought it was quite original as well considering it has space marines in it lol
