New Empire Avatar Issue

Well i cant wait either @ JMAN!

Wtf is ppls problem with AVATAR!? Its gonna be BIG!!!

I know its like 50 50 in here but whats not to luv about this baby!

I'm going to try and stay away from all the hype(if that's at all possible) in hopes that my vision of the movie won't be so high that it will never be to surmount my expectations.

Haha you shouldn't expect anything going into movie. Keep your mind open like a book and all shall be well...like lee and I enjoyed gi Joe proly cause we kept out mines open and didn't take it serious hah just my opinion

Too much hype. Can't live up to if. Gonnabe phantom menace all over again.

Sdprophet@ As for keeping an open mind. I believe lee77 said gijoe was gonna be the darkhorse of the summer LONG before it came out. How is that keeping an open mind. Is It your opinion that keeping an open mind only means having a good preconcieved notion and not a bad one?

Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ferngully + Dances With Wolves + Pocahontas + The Matrix + Battle For Terra = Avatar

The aliens look like Legolas from LOTR had sex with Mystique from X-Men and then their baby had sex with a Smurf, and their baby looks like the aliens.

Yep, the t'ackles love club carries on hating! ; D

@ LEEE7777 that's what I've been going through with these negatives puttin' down a great work of art. But, time will tell and let Cameron's work speak for itself on Dec. 17..

@ Tyler82 what has unimpressed you of what your heard? please, enlighten me!!

Why is it wrong to have a preconcieved notion of a movie based on the trailer and advertising? Either good or bad? The whole purpose of advertising is to give the public an idea of the movie. Some people will like the concept and the preview footage and some won't. Why should they be called haters or lovers as opposed to people giving an opinion on what they see? They should be allowed to form an opinion, otherwise what the fck is the point of a trailer?

im looking forward to the 3d but i dont think the movie will be anything special

@ Tyler82, I wonder if these so called "people" even know what good 3D CGI looks like. And for the "unoriginal" concept, what is original? A man who steals a power core and makes a metal suit and designs electric whips as a weapon to destroy a superhero?..Or a Metal engineered suit, designed by a billionaire genius who understands self pity and uses it to better himself and the world?..Compared to a marine who realizes he's fighting for the wrong cause and helps an alien race and to understand the value of life...catching on?!..

Somedude ill take a crack at it shall i!

Are you actually suggesting that if someone says something negative about a movie..any movie(because whats good for the goose is good for the gander) that there is no way that its actually what they feel about it, and are instead just want to sound "smart" and "impress" people? Do you need me to tell you how [frick]ing idiotic that sounds? Have you never saw a clip for something you didn't think looked good?? A movie you didn't like??..or is it just because we happen to be saying negative things about THIS particular movie that you think is the 2nd [frick]ing coming!

Superdog up there said it best. A trailer exists for us to form an opinion. If its bad its bad, if its good its good. People that criticize people for being critical befuddle me on every level. If someone calls me a "hater" again for saying i don't think something looks that good I'm gonna [frick]in explode!

The bottom line is this. Avatar was the most hyped movie i have ever witnessed. And the trailer didn't live up to the hype for me. Did i see the footage in 3D? No, maybe when i do I'll change my opinion of it. But for now i think it looks like a Pixar movie with the plot of Dances With Wolves.

I wonder how this will fair on normal screens, coz I'm nowhere near an IMAX theatre and I'm not going to travel for 6hrs just to see this. I hope theres more to this movie than 3D

did you just call somedude a hoe? sweet!

I think I understand what SomeDude is saying in a way. Lemme play Devil's Advocate, hehe. I think he is saying that there are a group of people who like to jump on a bandwagon to take an opposing stance at all times, and they often choose to do so in an attempt to differentiate themselves and yes, 'demonstrate' what they feel is their vastly superior intellect and rationale. While certainly this is not applicable to all people or even the majority of people, I do agree that these assholes exist and in large number on the internet. SomeDude has made a mistake though, in saying that ANYONE who doesn't join the flock and chant good tidings of this coming film must surely fall in this category. That is incredibly narrow-minded and an open attempt to insult anyone who disagrees with you. Don't be a deucher, no one assailed you, no reason for you to fire a salvo. Your just bringing a rain of shit on yourself.

Superdog is correct, the very purpose of a preview is to grab you up and pull you in, and Avatar failed to do it totally, especially when you consider the MASSIVE hype it has been privy to. I don't think a person should form a strong opinion based on a preview, as too often I have been fooled myself, but a basic idea of what to expect and your level of excitement play directly to what you see in previews. It is indeed what they are for.

Rorshach is also correct in that this is by far the most over-hyped movie I have ever heard of in my life... and hype almost always kills.

yeah im not a big fan of this censorship crap. i understand if its your article they wanna give you some control over it. but you cant just delete whoever you want for whatever reason. whats the point of having an open forum if you can do that.

i luv movie previews. thats honestly half the reason i go to the movies sometimes. i like watching them online and i always wanna get to the movie on time to watch them. when i do i say that movie looks awesome, or that movie looks like crap. doesnt mean i will or wont see a movie based on them. but sometimes it does, as i and the myth stated, the whole point is to get you to want to see it. this movie so far doesnt make me want to see it, but that doesnt mean i wont change my mind.

Superdog, Ror: Movie Trailers are sometimes the best part of the movie. It really sucks when that happens though.
