Time to scatter the roaches

@Blissey1  
Even without the hype it would have been bad. It was basically just Ferngully all over again. That, and the aliens constantly calling the guy Jakesully (Like one word) really grated on me for some reason.
 
Now if Quarich had sung a certain sexy doo-wop song all would have been forgiven, mind you.
 
@Sonlirain  
Or even when the mining company sends in it’s fully armed invasion force to replace the occupation force the blue cats defeated.

Honestly, it would have been a masterpiece if it had been like that. Even if it had put more emphasis on kind of a gray and gray thing (Humans are more sympathetic, aliens are more dark), it would have been good. Apparently the original script was like that: The humans needed the unobtainium for a mass exodus from the dying earth because it was dying. Good job, Jakesully. You doomed your entire home planet.

@Blissey1  
I honestly would have preferred it to be just a documentery style flick, with the humans looking over the wild-life of the world.

@sargesprinkles  
look, I’ll readily agree that the plot/writing wasn’t that great, but you have to at least admit that it was a visual 3d masterpiece.

@Blissey1  
Eye candy is one thing. Having people rate it a 10/10 and ranking it amongst movies like Forrest Gump, The Matrix or Donnie Darko is ridiculous.

@Blissey1  
and what it is is badly written, misanthropic schlock solely made to inflate James Cameron’s ego.

@sargesprinkles  
@Sonlirain  
gwarsh, so many people who can’t just appreciate glorious CGI eye-candy for what it is.

I didn’t like it because it’s a hamfisted attempt at promoting ecology by telling you how disgustingly evil humans “really” are.
 
It’s like TCB in movie form… only even more people probably wanked to it.
 
At least the na’vi are pretty much toast at the end when you realise the planet will burn in 20 years or so when the second (better prepared for hostile aliens and equipped with more than just mining equipement) expedition arrives intent on scrubbing life off the planet before grabbing the minerals.

@Blissey1  
i didn’t like it cuz i thought it sucked and it tried to insult my intelligence

@DanielTepesKraus  
ah, you got hype overloaded. the most common cause of people not liking avatar.

@Blissey1  
Yeah, I was disappointed in it. My buddy urged me over and over again to see it and praised it as the greatest movie ever, and I was excited, and when I watched it that’s all it was. Quarich was fucking cool though; I rooted for him every step of the way to blast the space-hippy-cats into next week.

@sargesprinkles  
Ditto here. Eh likes coffee and kills Na’Vi, and doesn’t afraid of anything.

I personally thought he was cool. {I even thought he was a nice guy…well, until they made him a genocidal maniac later on in the movie.}

Yeah, I rooted for him the whole movie. He was the only thing other than the future tech that I liked.

@DanielTepesKraus  
you seem to have a bit of a hate on for Avatar.

@Zincy  
One-dimensional, but also the only redeeming quality about Space Pocahontas. Besides, if that was Equestria Girls 2, it would be pretty damned awesome.

We’ve replaced you with one of the most one-dimensional villains in movie history, how does that make you feel?
