Beautiful, yes! Original and deep? No.

Rating: 4/10 (31 January 2013)

I was so looking forward to watching Avatar, but about 30 minutes into the movie I became completely disappointed. My beef is with James Cameron's screenplay. It is basic and dull, as if written by a grade school student. I found the same problem with Titanic, but Avatar is worse and for me, and it ruined the movie watching experience. This simple writing, paired with the Native American retold story leaves the special effects and filming the only reasons to watch the movie.
I am not alone, as I watched this movie with others who shared my sentiments. However, some others love this movie for its originality and beauty. Go figure.
