If you're gonna spend that much money on a movie, would it kill the director to get a well written and less predictable script. Visually it's a 10/10 and story wise it's a 7/10, movie could of been on some Star Wars shit but the script failed it.
i saw it in 3-d and i think thats why the blue guys navi didnt look corny, but when i see it on tv 2d, they look corny. I would definately reccomend seeing it in 3-d. and the dialogue coud've been improved.
Avatar has already reached 1 Billion dollars in 7 days worldwide. Its currently 3rd all time and on pace to break Titanic's record (Which is also directed by James Cameron and is the Biggest Blockbuster of all time). Which is further proof that James Cameron is a genius.
The Last Samurai was the Japanese version of Dances with Wolves. This movie was the extrateresstrial version. Honestly, I'd have to say that this story model is the most corny and played at this time. I don't expect anything to be truly original anymore because everything has been done under the sun. However, the whole "white guy taking on a hostile culture and then being inducted into said culture and going over to their side" motif has really been done to death. There are like 1000 movies that fit into that exact cookie cutter shape.
Anyway, the movie was decent, but it's getting way too much fanfare. I mean people like what they like, but this was an average movie with spectacular visuals. It's a shame that something like that will be positioned to be the highest grossing movie of all time.
