Oh come on it was a carbon copy of every other "Whitey becomes the greatest savage of all" story. Don't tell me you couldn't see exactly how it was going to pan out after the first five minutes.
Watch Pocahontis with a pair of these on
And see if you can tell the difference.
If he's going to make another one he's going to have to realise that 3D visuals wont be such a gimmick next time and he might have to do soemthing about his 2D characters, especially the antagonist, who in the first film might as well have been called "Baddie McEvilpants" and was only one scene away from killing a puppy.
Lol my opinion went from WoW to Dance With Wolves by others?? Hmm, weird, anyways, I have no grudge against the movie, I did see the 1st one and the most fun part was the intimacy scene haha, and of course the visuals, but it felt more like World Of Warcraft Night Elves fighting it out against their own Allys', Humans.
Why do I feel like I'm the only person in the entire world who hasn't seen Avatar yet? I really need to get out more? Well, he does make really good movies. So, I think it's a marvelous idea.

Fix'd again
Sure Avatar ripped off a lot of movies, but Fern Gully is by far the closest match imo. Too bad hollywood can't come up with any original ideas. Rehash over and over.
For real. The first time I saw the big yellow dozer, I immediately thought "FERN GULLY!".IgiveUgas said:ComplicatioN said:

Well I didn't like Avatar at all to be honest, in fact I would class it as one of my most boring cinema experiences. The friend I went to watch it with fell asleep half way through for example and I found myself sitting there for an hour waiting for something exciting to happen.
As others have said it plaguerised so many other things I would have trouble listing them all, the plot and characters I have seen a hundred times before. All of this wouldnt be too bad if it wasn't for the massive hype behind the film and its ridiculous length. But hey maybe the sequels will be better, I probably will watch them, or at least attempt to watch them, but not in the cinema.

I really really liked the movie and I wouldn`t mind them to make it into a trilogy. I also thought that it was actually a movie-experience worth watching in 3D, which I don`t think all movies are.
Also I like, that the movie had a subtitle in Germany, since it makes more sense, when you have the intention of making more. The whole name was " Avatar: Departure to Pandora" here.

I'll give two a good chance of not being bad but three will be terrible. I quite enjoyed the first one but I think I was the only person on earth who hadn't heard of it before watching it. I didn't get caught up in all the hype and I actually like mediocre sci-fi action. I didn't think the effects where at all impressive though. Like the rest of the film they seemed adequate but no effort put in after that. Don't understand how it got a single Oscar let alone 3 of them.

Avatar is awesome. If you don't like the movie then don't come into this thread and bash it. Just comment on something else!!
The battle scene in IMAX 3D is one of the best things I've ever experienced in film.
Interested to see the 2nd and 3rd but I can't imagine it will come anywhere near the 1st in terms of quality - they put so many years of effort into Avatar.

Put off the shitty 3D effect from the cinema
Well, James Cameron isn't the great guy creating movie script.
Unfortunately, Cameron himself said he wanted to make it a dark sequel in the vein of the Empire Strikes Back. I can see this going two ways: the way the Dark Knight legitimized comic book cinema with its grittiness and very real setting, or the way of Star Wars Episode 1, which was a car crash that failed in every way.geminisama said:
Avatar was an OK film but there's no loose ends in the plot, really. Not to mention that the whole theme of the movie was Jake's quest to understand the Na'vi. Now that he understands them how can you create a sequel that builds on the original and improves when the only way it would really make sense is to bring in another new character to repeat Jake's experience?
That and the film was basically a copy of Dances With Wolves to begin with, which IMHO is the stronger film as not only did it rely on plot to get by instead of fancy CG carnivals, it had to contend with having Kevin Costner as the lead actor and still managed to be remotely watchable. South Park pretty much nailed it when they called it Dances With Smurfs though. I won't deny that Avatar is a great Blu-Ray to show off what my TV is capable of, with the riots of colour in some scenes it gets a lot of 'oohs' and 'aahs' when I put it on to show off. But it's a stand alone film. Let it be remembered as such instead of tainting its image with crappy sequels just for the sake of milking the cash cow.

Avatard is a terrible movie. Absolutely freaking terrible. I know this has been said many, many, many times before but Avatard is so stupid its almost embarassing to watch.
Its also really, REALLY creepy. Like that scene where all the demonic-looking navi "plug in" to the magic tree and have their minds controlled by the "All Mother" while a creepy looking African-Inspired witch does a freaking voodoo dance. WTF?!

@Xdqwerty, Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! is the Japanese version of the game, different settings/characters/songs but otherwise identical mechanics. I played that before I knew about Elite Beat Agents lol. Both fantastic games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osu!_Tatakae!_Ouendan+1 -
