PS: Pocahontas was much better, had great music and voiceovers by the actors.
If you want my opinion, Pandora reminds me of World of Warcraft -the Elf region, I don’t remember its name. )

Honestly though, all in all this movie was not terribly bad. Definitely not good or “brilliant”, but not bad. No, my hatred of this movie stems from the fact that everyone think’s it is a masterpiece. I could sit here all day and list reasons why this movie is garbage. As my English points out before every power point assignment, “Visuals and extras do not make a powerpoint, content does-don’t waste your time with special effects, animations, background, or transitions until your message is perfected.”

look the special effects were great, but the characters had no weight and the script is boring

i dont know why so many people love this movie..?? i think because of the amazing graphics people forget about the story and say “wow avatar has amazing spec effects, so its an amazing movie”

the acting sucked ass i mean i could have done a better job at being an over grown smurf

as for the so called message in the film didnot work in fact after watching the film i wanted to cut down trees lol not really.

So you’re not allowed to dislike any books if you’re not a writer, not allowed to dislike any movies if you’re not a director (obviously)

And I sure as hope no one ever has found the actions of a US President to be flawed, because not a lot of people in the country have been presidents. : /

Carlos, am I to assume you just like EVERYTHING except maybe fast food? (I assume that’s where you work with logical skills like that)

Apart from the fact that the plot of Avatar is totally cliched, I found it pretty offensive. The fictional native culture is put together from bits of other cultures around the world- from American Indian to East Asian, and are highly exoticized and sexualized. The Navi propagate stereotypes that paint all native cultures as peaceful, emotional, and extremely close to nature. While these are generally considered to be admirable qualities, and therefore not offensive, the fact that they are applied as such sweeping generalizations is dehumanizing and patronizing, and it reinforces the stereotypical image of the native that many Westerners have.

Essentially, the plot of this movie follows a white Marine who sets out to learn about the native culture, and eventually comes to realize the merits of the Navi. Along the way, he learns how to hunt, becomes closer to nature, has sex with the hottest member of their race, and proves himself to be an even better Navi than the real Navis. He, the white man, turns into the savior of the race, providing the missing piece that allows them to defeat their oppressors.

While on the surface, Avatar may be a movie championing protection of the environment and speaking out against colonialism, it is really furthering all that is wrong with the way people view native cultures, and putting the white man at the top of the food chain after all.

BTW — The movie was entertaining mind candy with a simple embedded message … and I supppose, some sort of game package for PlayStation.

Utter CRAP. The commercial swell has come and gone. It’s been spun and re-spun. Harsh words have been cast across this ‘little’ blog’. But I haven’t heard, read, or sounded a rebuttal to the Truth be told : “The Nays Have it”. The cash cow is just that. I giant pig of one man’s ego! Avitar is sunk (in every post-market if possible).

Given the oppertunity, The Blog members here at Green Taxi are capable of easily conguring a script worthy of the dollars dumped into this dreary albatross.

THeel

i knew exactly what was going to happen from the start, and i even quoted lines before they were said!!

i enjoyed the scenery, but nothing else.

what is good about this story line. man goes into spy on a painfully red indian alien race, the muck hits the fan and he’s found out, he tries to explain the error of his ways as he now likes them and their way of life, they don’t like him he goes off then comes back and they like him again and he saves the day…. might have seen this before… but only ‘once’

I’m only young and have seen strait through this film. where are the days where a film is called good for it’s acting, plot, effects, music etc not just it’s hot chick and big explosions. i’m sorry but it takes more than that to entertain me. special effects is not enough!!

p.s. another thing, did anyone notice how the female pilots makeup was perfect all the way through the film? The people who makes these films know that 90% of the plant are idiots and will accept what they have been told as good, is good. Where as films like ‘no country for old men, or into the wild get over looked as they don’t have huge explosions in them.

Rented it (Red Box) this evening and got what I paid for ($1). A total piece of Cameron garbage. Not worth the calories I spent sliding my debit card.

It reminded me of Dreamworks “The Haunting”. How the hell did Spielburg allow that abortion pass through such a newly touted organization? Utter nonsense.

Where are the writers? Can’t somone put a story together anymore? I dig the technology but I’m ashamed that this pile produced the numbers it did at the box office. Total, utter waste of toilet paper. I’ve never taken the time to comment on a movie online or otherwise, but feel a sense of relief to let this one go its own way – Down the Gutter.

not to mention the story and acting was crap.

the visuals were the exact same as star wars 3…which was way better. cgi does not make movies, case and point:Dark Knight, great acting great story, great visuals and stunts, and almost no cgi. Chris Nolan i by far superior in that way.
