James Cameron’s Avatar : Greatest movie of the decade .

I think the most ground-breaking are the Tim Burton film's. such as Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpses Bride – i love the stop motion clay modeling – so cool! 

He should have worked with what he had.. like the rest of the directors in the world! lol 

Is it out for DVD yet? Sounds like a good movie, I'll watch it.

okay lets start by saying i truly enjoyed the movie. looks incredible , good story and characters, but while it may be the best i've seen this year its not even CLOSE to the best of the decade. i mean , get over the eco-bs ppl , i dont care what james cameron thinks. want to help the planet jamie? spend the money on helping , rather than making a film you tit. (and keep ur PC global warming views to urself , im not saying humanity isnt hurting the planet)

also , i agree with parnakas – tim burton s work is way more original and ground-breaking. and yh , george lucas' approach to it was far more adventurous than cameron's. (innovation is harder than doing something that already exists , no matter how perfect you make it)

so , wargeared sniper, i'd like you to think about this : if you watched it at home , would it be as impressive ? would it ? my honest answer is no. i truly think this film , whilst top top class , will not turn into a classic. except for new age hippies maybe.

'greatest film of the decade , maybe of all time' …. have you ever watched a film that wasnt action-action-great graphics-asswhupping-action-GREAT FILM ? SFX only make a movie beautiful. and ecology is somewhat of a hot topic these days.

I have to agree with, and go further than Wrath;

It's an utter steaming pile of shite.
 
Nature vs Technology, nature wins, bollox.
 
Big bad man with our smoke belching machines invade little space elf tree hugging hippy planet.
You'd think that now that we've mastered faster than light travel, we could reduce our carbon footprint a little, but that's not the point of the film. Man has come seeking the rare mineral“unobtainium”, and to do so, we need to genetically engineer our own tree hugging hippy elves in order to not be beaten by NATURE.
 
Lets focus on the many flaws of this film.
 
1) It's written by George Lucas .
2) The main character is paralysed, so a new body is created for him. Considering they've clearly mastered being God, you'd think they could just fix the poor guy's spine, instead of making him into a blue space elf with down syndrome.
3) It's written by George Lucas.
4) Unobtainium. Could it not just be oil?
5)

Blind to it? I left the cinema coughing up morals.
6) It's written by George Lucas. 
7) Why can't we just burn down the forest instead of making “Avatars”?

i want to hate this movie cos of all the hype but it sounds like i might end up liking it

I agree with everything you lot said (via Mojo).

This film was made even better than it actually is by the fact that me and my mate woke up late, took the latest possible bus & still got back row seats, plus large popcorn .

Favourite film ever!!!

Well, i dont agree with anything he said.

e.g. 4) Unobtainium. Could it not just be oil?

Um, well no, not considering its on a planet 5 years away. Or else the people would look normal and breath without air mask things.

Im with the paraplegic guy though. You search for other lifeforms for centuries, and then you wanna kill them off? Stupid Colonel. I wouldve shot his knees and elbows and sliced his cock off.

Wrath – Who are you to question my oppinion ? Dont awnser a question you asked for me , i can do it myself . You asked for my honest awnser and here it is , yes . The Technology of course did make the movie another top notch scale , but me watching it at home would make it no different . You think all of these critics and reviewers didnt compare and review the 3D and 2D experience? Reviews came out hot either way , so i dont see what plant youve stuck up your pipe lately .And have i seen any other movie aside from action ? What the hell ? Ive seen hundreds of movies in my time and i can name ALOT that dont contain any mere essence of action and are still Oscar worthy contenders  .

Im sorry , but i guess James Camerons Avatar wasnt already a big enough give away , i atleast figure WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY JAMES CAMERON at the end of the film was enough . Guess not .

i ask the question not because of the 3d experience , its obvious that much wont be available at home , but because avatar is one of those films that looks great in cinemas , and you will see all the flaws of the (nonetheless decent compared to most) storyline once its out on bluray. as for reviews , stick them in my weed pipe and shove them both where the sun dont shine sweetheart. reviewers are biased and hyped-up for cameron's 'masterpiece'. (which it isnt imo.) (so if its not even cameron's best , how could it be the decade's?)

as for ur opinion , it seems a bit grand dont ya think ? 'best film of the decade' …. if u'd kept it at 'great film , must be experienced in a theater' , we'd be fine , but im sick of the end-of-year top 10s of the year , decade andfriggin' century. yours is as bull as the others. and like Mojo i felt a little overwhelmed by the good feelings that emanate from the film. ecological awareness is the theme of the day , so a beautiful film (because it is ppl , in its own way ) with that theme was clearly going to be a favorite of the bs PC reviewers.

i  ask about action films , as you seem overwhelmed by the visuals of the film , whereas i'm a little wary of the amount of CG. i mean , some of that could just be actors. it feels like nothing is real , even when it is , touched up as each frame is/feels.

i just fail to see how this is cameron's best work yet.

as for who i am to question your opinion? just a guy who can spell 'opinion' …
