Avatar is a pile of shit!

[NoComet]

DDs had me sit through this last night.

Honestly who long can it take to say. Paralysed man given chance of leaping through trees with beautiful girl is going to take it??

I've just finished watching it (recorded it). Made the ironing and mending I had to do much more enjoyable

One of my friends posted that he liked it as a facebook status.

Have never thought of him without remembering that since!

It was so clichéd. Good aboriginal beings. Bad, capitalistic humans. Depth of plot= 0.

It's basically Pocahontas.

YANBU

Pocahontas but prettier.

Both are hot

I quite liked it . Not normally my kinda thing, but I must admit we recorded it when it was on TV so watched it over about 3 nights. Don't think I could've sat through the whole thing in the cinema

I quite like it......runs away

Amberleaf, the lovely bones film is brilliant and one of my favorites. I have the book on my shelf and never finished either. Would highly recomend the movie though.........

I tried the film a couple of times I did see it all in the end but I cant even remember how it ended!

I really wanted to like the book too as someone raved about it and then bought it for me as a present.

DS2 had high expectations for this film as it's by James Cameron who directed Aliens which is one of his favourite films. It's essentially cowboys and Indians. Graphics were very good, but not as good as Aliens at all. He would recommend Aliens to anyone as it's great with a good plot. DS2 does, however, agree that the plot was not very inventive. He doesn't want to agree with you. He wanted me to write this. DS2 is 13.

I loved it too!

It was like live-action Fern Gully

IloveJudgeJudy -

tell DS2 that Aliens is one of my favourite films too, if not my favourite ("Get away from her you Bitch"). Some of the things I love about Aliens are the things I love about Avatar (strong female characters, Sigourney Weaver, Marines, avaricious Company man). Yes, Avatar is much more simplistic - but I still found it moving. Not as good as Aliens though.

The other thing I think Cameron does well is to create a setting, a world that is detailed and believable.

And to whoever said "unobtanium" was a stupid name for a mineral, I refer you to this list of funny molecules, including (my favourites) Welshite and Clitorin

Cameron uses flash special effects to paper over the terrible scripts, awful acting and then wins an oscar.

Ridley Scott, now THERE'S a director with vision.

Techno

Whilst I agree in general,

Sorry, Prometheus was terrible. Ridley Scott did what he could, but the script was woeful, the characters were underdeveloped so I didn't care about whatsernames self-EMCS. The woo premise was just silly. Disappointing (and not a patch on Alien or Aliens.

Admittedly I haven't seen Prometheus and haven't heard many good things about it. Though he rarely makes a bad film, I feel.

Cameron made loads of crap ones. The Terminator films were his last good ones.

Shoes bought with a 100x less pain than watching aliens.

Sorry I mean avatar, I hid at the back of the class and refused to watch alien.

And no I don't know why the teachers put on an 18 film while writing Y10/11 reports either.

Review here

It's very long and quite sweary.

Sorry I've lost the will to live, this video review is nearly as long as the film.

I have to teach kids to write a 'Total Film' style review of it as a GCSE Controlled Assessment.

But this is cool

Simply "I love the smell of CGI in the morning" would have done.
