Avatar

It’s not just that we’ve seen the tale before… it’s that every aspect of the screenplay is terrible.


Cameron and his artists have so lovingly imagined the moon of Pandora that every shot of the film contains new wonders.

Five hundred million dollars [wasted].

Rewatching it with fresh eyes 10 years later, the movie's pluses and minuses both rise into much starker relief. The verdict: It's...fine.

In my opinion, Avatar has been hyped beyond the point of forgiveness.

Learning your visuals from Jack Kirby is one thing, but too often it sounds like Cameron learned to write dialogue from the guy too.

“Avatar” remains a transporting experience – an entertaining blend of old-fashioned adventure and technological wonder.

'Avatar' is not just a visual display. It contains heart, humor, and all the aspects needed to make it a well-rounded story. Sure, the script could have been punched up with something more poetic and less obvious. Still, it’s not a bad egg.

To be sure, this is an engaging experience in every sense, from the dramatic to the visual to the visceral. This is how blockbusters should be.

STUNNING epic. Zoe Saldana performance… A fantastic one
