Avatar

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.

Oh no, you aren't. DO you feel better now? I sure hope your quest for attention was worth it. It was a particularly original topic too. I mean, you put so much effort into it as well. That single sentence must have taken you ages to write - I mean that. Bravo!

So no, OBVIOUSLY, because you aren't the only person in the world, and you aren't a unique snowflake, SOMEBODY ELSE ALSO 'thought Avatar was overrated'. Than again, that kind of thing doesn't make sense to me. I mean - if you are the kind of person who is fixated on what other poeple think, then I guess it might matter to you how 'over' or 'under' rated something is. I guess if you are such a person, you might even start to wonder why everybody else has 'gone crazy' to like this thing that you don't. Then again, you could just ... no I won't finish that sentence. There's some space at IMDB. This thread would be right at home over there.

I don't get why so many people set themselves up as the 'rating police' deciding when to punish the things that are 'overrated'. Who the hell cares? Well clearly you do, but why? Let people LOVE it. Let people HATE it. Let people think it was simply OK. Different strokes. Nothing is 'overrated' because such merit and worth can never be objectively defined. I have never understood people who decide how much they like something based on how much or how little OTHER PEOPLE like it.

I thought it was okay. But it is definetly not the best or worst movie out there. I have seen alot worse and there are alot of better movies out there. If anyone really wants to see it though don't go and buy it or even rent it, just wait until you have a friend thats stupid enough to buy it and go watch theirs and then you can brag to all the nerds out there that you saw it. And you can say you wasted another 2 or 3 hours of your life on pointless movies.

Yes, I think its was overrated. I enjoyed it, but it could have been shorter. It dragged at times, and the plot and acting were nto enough to keep me engaged.

Avatar was okay, but that's about it. What frustrates me is the fact Cameron had years to write it well, which would have been free, but no. Think how many more interesting films could have been made with that same amount of money.

I thought the film was brilliant when i first saw it but after the hype i can't stand it.

It was good but hardly the greatest film ever, and no fucking reason for anyone to paint themselves blue.

Give me break will ya, I just came out of the Indy 5 news thread. Don't hound me with Avatar aswell.

I just didn't like it. I didn't hate it, I just couldn't buy into the characters, the story, the stupid cartoony jungle and wildlife.

You're never the only one.

Now, on the topic of Avatar: I liked it. No, it wasn't a shining beacon of film-making, but it was fun. Over rated? If that is your opinion, fine. Let it be your opinion. You don't have to enjoy a film just because other people enjoyed it. That's why it's YOUR opinion.

The Na'vi should have been wiped out!

Strategic orbital bombardment.. It's a bit silly in that sense, but we couldn't really let the bad guys win, now could we?

you sir are an asshole all i wanted to do was find an answer,i knew it had most likely been asked before,i didnt care,and as for the entire thing i dont see why you had to be rude about it,and i already know what i think about it no elses opinion can change it, why not instead of being an asshole just shut the hell up its not helpful,it will save you time,and it will save time for me because then i dont have to read someones pointlessly angry message then respond to it, and excuse me for finding it unnessacary to put more than one sentence.
