I'm not saying avatar is good or bad but you have to admit that stuff blowing up, aliens and war machines are way cooler than the kiddy issues of some teen emo vampire and his posse.

That's not even counting that the furry who wanted the *cough* protagonist's vamp-baby dead called dibs on it as soon as it came out of the bloodfest that was its birth.
It was an amazing movie; when you do a science fiction right, it comes out kick ass. Suck it up butter-balls, movies have feelings sometimes. Get over it.
Genosycthe said: Movies have feelings? They also have very tired themes, such as this one. And really? Insulting the people themselves for their opinions? Pathetic.
An insult and a fact are two entirely different things, you must learn to deal with it.
Avatar is an interesting thing. It is, according to box office stats, the hottest selling movie since movies were invented. Yet the plot is tired, the themes are old (a friend of mine called it "White Man's Guilt"), the marines are dumb, the Navi aren't really anything more than Native Americans, and after watching the movie twice, my brother still can't remember any of the characters' names, and indeed, none of my family can, because of how totally flat and archetypal they all are.
And still, we weren't bored watching it, and I don't think it was solely because of the visuals. James Cameron is a good director; the movie presents itself so well that the ancient plot and the cliched characters don't bother me so much, and I think the director was fully aware of this.
"Unobtainium" is a stock word that writers use for a magical plot element. Actually calling the mineral that was, I'm pretty sure, James Cameron looking the writers in the audience in the eye and making the awesome troll face.

Ugh..

Lol at someone comparing Twlight with Avatar, and then calling other people stupid...the ironic energies of that statement will shatter the world to pieces.
Except that there is only one giant robot in the entire Evangelion series. The Evas are giant humanoids, not robots. Besides, Avatar is one of the most cliched movies. Dances with Wolves, Ferngully, you name it.
It was a movie to watch in 3D, not much more. It had a decent story wich had already been done, so what. I only payed to check out those 3d glasses and they were kind of worth it. And i complety agree Avatar equals Dances with Wolves in Space, but i'm getting tired of hearing it, since 60% of the people who say that, haven't seen dance with wolves.
If you want to tell people how to feel, you'd better be in the vast majority or at least have a lot of money. We all know Avatar was a spineless trope-fest, and a piss-poor movie, but 99% of moviegoers are willing to overlook how bad it is because it's by James freaking Cameron and it's in THREEEE DEEEE (and if that's not enough you've got semi-naked blue alien chicks). You're not SUPPOSED to like it because it's a timeless masterpiece of filming and/or storytelling.
This discussion, my friends, is another demonstration of one of the truest and most basic maxims that cement existence in the whole world. The maxim, you ask?
War machine... I wonder if the mining company is too poor to buy real war machine. As you can see, walkers in the movie has... a geant piece of class to protect the pilot, with some rifle that has a grandmother firing rate. And those bomber use expired c4 that's tape together as bomb. And i never understand why do bombers fly low as the flying alien beasts can reach it. Too many things were sacrificing to fit the story. As the story sucks... Those sacrifice did worth a piece of rock.

Well to be fair about the cannon. It IS a 30mm. Those don't exactly go off like buzzsaws. They probably have an oversized round like that considering how big some Pandora Fauna is.
I disliked Avatar for the preaching. It was preachy movie in my opinion.
I-It's not like I came to save you or anything like that...!!When I went to watch AVATAR there was a tsundere of all things. She was actually kind of moe... Am I OK?
