I think it has nice animations, but that's about it. I like the style from the Apple seed movies better, and I also think they look better.

And the 'story' in Avatar is just one big "meh". My cousin's boyfriend actually fell asleep watching it, and I remember looking more at the people in the theatre more then I looked at the movie itself after some 30 minutes.

I thought it was. It was a pop-corn flick if I've ever seen one; very enjoyable as long as you don't think about it too hard.

Someone please tell me i'm not the only person that thinks avatar is overrated,i have yet to meet a single person that has seen it that agrees.

Well, a quick search or two would have revealed dozens of threads expressing the same sentiments. So, no, you're not the only one. Deal with it.

Now learn forum etiquette and stop re-hashing old threads. Please.

i liked avatar but i agree it was overrated. i mean eveyones like HOLY CRAP the 3d will blow u away. NO it did not it was nothing special.

 

[Queen Michael]

Is it just me, or do at least 54% of people think it was overrated? It seems to be a movie on which no official consensus exists.

 

[WorldCritic]

No, trust me a lot of people here think it's overrated. It's not good but it's not bad so hopefully people will eventually forget it.

The Core used unobtanium, their drill ship was made from the stuff. Had to be in order to survive the silly temps in the Earth's core.

Avatar was okay, stylish, well paced, action packed. Let down by bad plot, two dimensional characters and the blatant hype. All in all average. It's a fluff movie. Turn off brain before watching, you won't need it. The explosions, pretty aliens and giant mechs will soothe any possible "Uhhhhhhhhh What?" moments with the plot.

Well, this is kind of a pointless thread.

OT: No, I don't think it's overrated at all because many people don't like it and it didn't get any exceptional ratings from critics either. I personally think it's a really good movie, mainly for the visuals(yes, brainless fun is still fun).

It is overrated, but that doesn't mean it's a bad film, because it's not. Visually, it was astounding and, while that plot has been done before, it wasn't a bad story, just predictable.

I like avatars. They make you stand out and they're a great way to show people who you are. But I don't see why it's so important for you to find someone who agrees with you?

Your either being funny or ignoring the OP. Don't post if your not going to refer to the subject!

OT: Im a little surprised you have not met someone who hated.

My friends love it!The Escapist does not......

Sorry, won't be funny again.
To make up for it I will say that Avatar (the movie) is okay, nothing more. Also... You will probably think I am an idiot (if you don't do that already) but I didn't think the visuals were that mindblowing. I didn't really feel immersed in the world that everyone else, even the haters, seems to have been. But that could be because the design of Pandora and it's environment was among the most retarded things I have seen.

Also I thought it was "Meh" at best...

 

[Weaver]

I didn't think it was that good.
I mean, it was basically Pocahontas with blue people.

 

[MortisLegio]

it was alright... I think the movie would have been better had the Na'vi had been blow up after the big fight scene but thats just me

the storyline if very plain but I think that was "intentional"

all in all, I thought it was good but simple

Someone please tell me i'm not the only person that thinks avatar is overrated,i have yet to meet a single person that has seen it that agrees.

You had an opinion, congratulations. I have to ask why everyone is turning this into a new version of "does God exist?" Seriously people need to understand it is a MOVIE. MOVIES are a TASTE thing. I've taken to calling this never ending online madness Ava-tardation.

I watched it, it's visually great, the action was pretty cool, the 3D worked out fine and it has the most determined villain I have seen in a movie in ages(The Colonel guy was awesome). The story is balls, the acting is ok and it had some pacing issues. These are valid points.

What we need to put an end to is "It's just Pocahontas Dances with Smurfs in space fern gully". Good for you you noticed something that is patently obvious get the fuck over it. Star Wars wasn't 100% original either (I'm told a lot of it is ripped off a movie called the Lost Fortress or some such). Also watch In His Masters field apparently that is the closest to avatar.

Now can everyone please give this a fucking rest?

 

[Musclepunch]

It was good for me, as it was the first film I saw in 3d.

 

[mocruz1200]

why do people always think that they are the only ones that have these thoughts? YOU ARE NEVER THE ONLY ONE!!!!
OT: i also thought it was overrated

 

[Brandon237]

Very much overrated. Twas meh and I honestly couldn't understand the hype. Which is not surprising considering that my aunt did. No, really, my aunt loved it, it was weird.

But the plot was tragicly poor. When I first saw Pandora I was in a kind of "no, I will not survive this movie". But then it became bearable.

 

[Soxafloppin]

Hell no, its popular and everyone hates popular stuff.
