Really.. The whole movie looks so artifical, you never believe Pandora is a real place.. It's more of a Video Game.
The characters are thin and the Story is more like Pocahontas in Space.
What happened to Cameron? I Love his movies; Titanic and Terminator 1+2 are some of my all-time-favorites, but after 12 years he hadn't a better script? That's really annoying
yeah, it really sucks...
I saw it in 2010 and I thought it was awful. I'm not watching the extended edition, after reading that the more detailed introduction makes it better... well, it still sucks. I don't know if I can make it through this again. :)
2.7 Billion.
share2.7 billion doesn't make it good. I liked the film, but money does not equate good. I mean, have you seen the crap that's on the top 20?
shareIf 2.7 billion doesn't make Avatar a good movie, then what is a reasonable amount of money that would make it good?
shareNothing. The Fast and the Furious movies are not good and they make a killing. Justin Bieber sells albums like crazy and he makes my ears bleed.

Ghostbusters (2016) made $229,147,509. Is it the best movie ever?
shareand yet it is the highest-grossing Cameron movie to date (and also the highest-grossing movie of all-time overall).
Although Avatar is not my favourite film from Cameron, I still prefer Titanic and the first 2 Terminator movies he directed, but you cannot deny the fact that Avatar is still Cameron's most financially successful movie by far.
true. But that doesn't make it a good movie.
shareSince that's a feat that only a handful of other films have accomplished, most of which are iconic masterpieces - like GWTW, Star Wars, Jaws and Titanic, yes, that kind of success does show that Avatar is a great film.
shareNo, it shows that it's a popular film that cashed in on the 3D craze. That's it.
shareThe Wizard of Oz doesn't look or feel that realistic either. That doesn't change how beautiful, effective and awesome it is as a film. That's what Avatar is. The Wizard of Oz of our time. It's the greatest technical achievement in film history and it is perfectly crafted to transport audiences into the colorful, cartoon-like world of Pandora... much like what Victor Fleming and Judy Garland did for audiences back in 1939.
Cameron doesn't have to make your kind of film every time. All that matters is that he bring his craftsmanship and dignity to each project. And you can see that he did that in spades in every shot and scene of Avatar.
Get off your soapbox while I play you a tune on the tiniest violin.
Wizard of Oz is a better film than this puke loves rose, that one is a masterpiece, this one isn't.
"Unicorn, mermaid, vampire,sorceress! No name you'd give her would surprise me i love whom i love"
that is a matter of opinion, I think Avatar IS a 'masterpiece' in terms of its grand use of special effects at the time...though the story itself is very cliche, but this film's main selling point is the beautiful special effects, which was considered 'revolutionary' at the time.
shareYour just a sockpuppet for Pukelovesfilm28.
The effects may look pretty but the script stinks.
"Unicorn, mermaid, vampire,sorceress! No name you'd give her would surprise me i love whom i love"
agreed.much like Lucas with 'The Phantom Menace' Cameron went 'full cgi' with 'Avatar' and thus the whole movie felt very artificial and empty.
shareThis movie was awesome. WTF is wrong with you?!
shareI can't believe this is the highest grossing movie of all time. Why were we fooled back in 2009 into thinking this was a good-looking moving? You are right, it looks extremely artificial.I haven't even touched on the writing, characters, or acting. The strength – supposedly effects – alone are enough to criticize this movie. It's a really bad looking movie.

Its not his worst, but not his best.
