This looks like a 2 hour version of the Battle of Endor.
Great….now I want to see this. I had no interest in it before, but clearly there’s something special about it and James Cameron definitely knows how to make movies. It will probably get my 9 dollars.
I lived in England for a year last year. The Guardian is a great newspaper…if you’re extremely leftist and everything you look at has a purpose that furthers the Guardian’s agenda.
Since Avatar is a movie, I would not trust the Guardian. They’re reviewers are rubbish.
I can’t wait! Very excited, and I’m definitely going to see this in IMAX 3D.
And I second Daniel Meyer, above. I went to school in England and read The Guardian. They’re kind of the type of paper to praise or slam a movie that other critics feel the opposite about, just to be “different.” So if they’re the only major British paper who didn’t care for it, that’s fine by me.
I had watched previews for this movie on my computer, and it didn’t look like anything special. Then I saw the full trailer for it on the movie screen before I saw “2012″ and it looked unbelievable. I am excited to see it because every now and then I enjoy a good “escape” movie where I feel like I can just enjoy myself for a while before being reminded of our horrible economy, or anything Twilight-related.
meh, I still think that the plot is a mix of fern-gully and Dances with Wolves
Cameron is the master action film maker and I can not wait to see this.
I saw the movie last night. It’s NOT very good. Entertaining (and visually stunning) but the story is weak. Absolutely no character development at all.
how so?
Even if I believed you when you say you’ve seen it (I don’t, really), you don’t see this type of movie because of “character development.” Don’t give us that crap. If I want character development, I’ll go see Up in the Air or Precious or A Single Man. I see movies like this to get my mind blown by the visuals. I honestly don’t care about how strong the story is (seems like Aliens meets Dune to me) or isn’t. That’s NOT why I want to see this movie.
I wanted to be excited for this movie, but the CGI looks too much like a video game to me. I also think that I would have been more interested in actually seeing the actors as they are, not transformed into jar-jar binks.
are avatars really here to stay?
I really can’t wait to see this film I hope it lives up to the hype.
