@Ozy: Wasn't it just FANTASTIC!!!!

OZY @ Have you noticed all the AVATAR HATERS have [frick]ing shut up lol!!! ; D


CRITIC @ Great review man!!!!!

Yeah!!! My first article on the front page!!!

@LEEE: Thanks man!!!

@Ozy: It was man!!

@Ror: I still loved the story though, but thanks!! I have to admit that some of it was obvious though...

This movie is the best way to end the year! I think it would ruin its significance if Cameron made a sequel. LOTR's Peter Jackson is probably taking notes for this.

Sorry I don't buy the "what isnt these days" cop out. Plenty of movies are original or at least tell a story in an original way. Avatar focused singly on being a visual feast..which it was, and I agree it was an amazing movie from a certain point of view, but I just wish it focused a little more on its plot and dialog. Not because I didn't like it, because I loved it! You have to admit, a couple of bits were a little big cringy..the dry hump scene for one!

Yes I will admit some scenes were a little bit "cringy"
the "love" scene didn't bother me that much..the Cringy scenes for me were all involving the bad guy with the scars..he was nothing more than a run of the mill
bad guy(no depth of character)..that I think was the only flaw. I've seen that portrayed in many other movies. Ribisi was great and I wish he was in more scenes but other than that. AMAZING movie!

Phinehas- you didn't like the fact that he made us
(westerns) the bad guys? and he portrayed us
as war hungry people, as long as there is a
profite to be made...well as a member of these
united states, I think he was SPOT ON..cause
thats who we are, America was built on WAR.
war is all we know.IMO,,for gods sakes we
still have troops in GERMANY and Vietman!
not to mention 45 other countries. LOL
or maybe I read you're statement wrong?

No, I don't like when America, and humans in general, are portrayed as the antogonist. Believe it or not, I love America, and (gasps) what it stands for. There is no better place on this planet. It has prospered because of its ideals, and when they are scorned and ridiculed enough to subsequent generations, they will systematically undermine and destroy from the inside out.
We do not have troops in Viet Nam. And if you think America's built on war, you need to read books that are contrary to your perspective. We were an agrarian society that transformed into an innovative industrial nation. This wasn't accomplished by military conquest. Not like ancient civilizations of Rome or Babylon.

"was kind of a referance to
Native Americans.."
It was a total rip-off of Dances With Wolves. Hated that movie for the exact same reason. What a surprise.

and by the way we didnt start most of the wars we were in. i believe the germans, the japanese, the british, and the terrorist started 90 percent of them.

ohhh god here we go again!

superdog- i know american history, and not that crap
they teach in books in high school. and
don't give me that crap..if it was for
capitol is america we wouldn't have..bla, bla
bla..whatever, belive what you want. I like to
read books about the good and bad of the
american people. sure they started 90
percent of them..but of course we had to
put are nose's in other peoples battles.
Now im not saying after the bombing of pearl
harbor we should of done nothing, but hey
my opinion is my opinion. I love living in
america, but americans are not saints, and if
you think that then, you don't know what you
are talking about. if you want facts i'll give
them to you.

Phinehas- so you don't think the slaughter of Native
Americans are wrong, We drove them of there
land..they were here first.

here is more facts..read

Nathan Best- I agree with you 100 percent! that is true
the US helps allot of people, and I am
glad for it! but we are not the most
compassionite (spelled wrong?) people
either. I love the country I live in
but I am not going to blindly look over
all the wrong we have done. again I will
say I LOVE MY COUNTRY!

Phinehas/superdog- thank you , I proved my point!
FACTS DO NOT LIE!

@Lee... I considered myself an Avatar hater, basically what I think is that Cameron managed to take a lot of movies and mash it up into something which is enjoyable and great eye-candy, but that everyone will have forgotten by this time next year.

It is indeed visually stunning and the level of detail they put into the whole world they created is mind blowing. But the story... the dialogues... the acting... the bad guy... the dialogues...the furry sex...and the fact that the Navi rape animals with their tentacle thing... is just...

I mean analize the whole banshee thing... you choose it, it chooses you, you have to be quick, and when they finally do link her pupils dilate and the first flight seals the deal? c´mon that was just sick and made me feel dirty. After that every single link the Navis did for me was just mind rape to say the least.

It has a lot of plot holes, like how do they speak english? are we supposed to assume that they learned it from the school which hadn't been there long enough? and for an inteligent culture, they were way to eager to teach him everything without trying to find anything back. And no one saw love develop between Jake and Neferyiti? for a spiritual race they seem to be rather blind and naive...I have to admit it was enjoyable, I'd recommend watching it since it is serious eye candy and it does make you forget at times that this is mostly CGI.

Now was it revolutionary and will it split the history of cinema in two? no... will I watch it again? no unless it's aired on cable and I have nothing better to do... it is what it is, an enjoyable movie nothing much, along the lines of Iron Man (cool movie I loved it but it's not changing movie history, and I actually own the Iron Man dvd, unlike Avatar which I don't plan to own)

As far as the US helping... there are always ulterior economical motives behind those help efforts. And the USA is a great country but unless you have lived somewhere else and experienced different cultures you seriously can't claim for it to be the greatest (even if you have experienced one or two cultures other than the american one) or the only way to go. It is not wrong to love your country, but when you think that that is the only way to go... well, you'll definitely feel uncomfortable watching avatar or any other experience that questions it's take on how the world should run.

Peter@ u didn't prove anything. I have been shopping all day in this crap capaitist country we live in. I luv people who profess they love this country them list all the things they hate about it. If I told my wife I loved her then listed all the things wrong with her that wouldn't go over too well. And name me another country that is more compassionate then us and spends more money then us on our own citizens as well as the world. Trust me u won't find one. And Nathan is right on, our country hasn't domes anything hat any othe country hasn't done. Tha doesn't make it right, but to say a stupid statement like " this country is all about war" demonstrates to me that you don't know it's history. I noticed you didn't answer my question about age. I was young once and felt like u. We all think we know everything when were young then we grow up and realize we were idiots and had no idea of the real world. Don't worry man you'll get there one day.

You certainly say "I luv this country" alot. Who are you trying to convice me or you? And I prefer to get my history from history books not videos put together by god knows who with god knows what agenda. I suggest you do the same. I've never said my country hasn't done bad things, but unlike you and your liberal friends I don't dwell on them and would rather accentuate the positives . Different strokes for different folks. Tomato and tomato, just different ways of looking at things. I like mine better.

@superdog: LMFAO!!!! ;) Capitalism RULES man!!!

Gee,
I wonder why he thought you were a teenager...
Facts have a funny way of getting skewed by people like Moore who have a politcal bent to the left. Please don't tell me that you look at the facts given in this presentation as accurate view of the real world. Larry Elder put together a great video in response to the claims made by Moore in Bowling for Columbine called Micheal and Me. Give it a watch.
By the way, the Swedish couches, Japanese TVs and all other non-American products are improved upon because of the American consumer. If not for us buying the majority of goods, most things wouldn't exist, or be at the height of technological advancement that we have now. Why? AMERICAN CAPITALISM.

Michael Moore never gets his facts right, and certainly never shows them in the correct context or perspective. He's total horshit. He's worse than al gore when it comes to facts. Watch a movie called "an American carol" for a true representation Of michael Moore. Buy the book liberty and tyranny by mark levin as well for a true history and political perspective. But props to you for being open minded and at least willing to view other perspectives. I have seen the Michael Moore movies so we are on the same wavelength when it comes to at least watching the otherside. But they are complete horseshit. And my wife and I have only been married for a year so the stand up comic "no sex" thing hasn't kicked in yet. But it's probably right around the corner :(

That's because there so bad on facts that even schools won't show them. Therefore no need for a court battle :)
