Kinda disqualifies himself in the first sentence: Epic sci-fi crap typically ain't my cup of tea.

I think it would have been funny if there had been one animal whose user interface was incompatible with the Na’vi tail.

Great post....unfortunately, this is one that you can’t wait for DVD though since the best effects would be the 3D experience.....

Too bad the plot and dialog sucks.....

This has been a consistent theme from all the reviewers I’ve read.....

Also, most have drawn the parallel to America “bad” and Bush caused this.....

The Na'vi talk to the earth and the animals. They live in harmony with nature. Through them, Cameron preaches the same simpleton back-to-the-earth bullshit as those phonies who go to Pow-wows and talk out their asses about magical American Indians. Hell, I'm surprised there isn't a cameo by Iron Eyes Cody. It's a really insincere message in a movie ripping off Ferngully's plot as its excuse for big-ass explosions and massive battles. "Fighting is bad. Here's some more!"

I'll give it a miss. Frankly James Cameron's characters have always come across as written by a teenager. Sounds like more of the same here. Unobtainium? C'mon!!!!!

Great review - Laughed my butt off reading it. Didn’t see the flick, this affirms what I suspected from it.

[Poser]

Bump!

Very funny and crude.

[humblegunner]

Have you seen it?

If not, how can you know if the review is accurate?

[qam1]

get a lot of angry e-mails from people whose bottle of Mountain Dew it is. The notes are usually pretty threatening, as though me not liking something these people love is a matter of utmost importance. As though the fact some as***le with a web site doesn't care for what they do threatens the substance of their passion.

LOL!

If he thinks the Avatar people are bad, try criticizing the even more boring Lord of the Rings trilogy to really see people get their panties in a wad.

“Beyond ripping off its plot from a cartoon for little girls, there’s a bunch of other shit I thought sucked the cat’s tits about Avatar. First is its patronizing vision of the indigenous people. It’s like Cameron was channeling some long-haired asshole who sells turquoise roadside near Sedona. The movie treats the natives as simpletons, idiot savants full of pure goodness and new-agey magical powers, the same way guilt-ridden white people of limited intelligence think of American Indians. Cameron gives them the ability to see into the hearts of others. As far as I know, the only people who believe nonsense like that are folks with shit to hide. They’re the ones who worry good people can see right through them.”

The Filthy Critic can certainly cut to the heart of it!

Glad to see he’s still doing reviews.

Some aspiring writer should re-dub and re-splice the movie into something worth seeing. There are amateur remixes of songs all the time, so why not movies? I couldn't possibly sit passively for 3 hours to get through this movie.

[Paul Ross]

It is hilarious. He should do a cleaned-up version for general distribution
