The return of James Cameron

Rating: 8/10 (10 June 2010)

A lot of mystery was created around this movie, since the very first years of production. This was the first movie of James Cameron since he made the successful film (Which I hated) "Titanic". I wasn't sure what to expect, especially after seeing the first reviews, which compared this film with revolutionary works as "Star Wars". Fortunately, I wasn't disappointed of what I saw. "Avatar" is much, much better than "Titanic". Probably it received more hype than it actually deserved, but it was a funny, exciting adventure. Basically, as many users said before, it is a futuristic version of "Dances with Wolves", with some elements of "Pocahontas" and "Ferngully". Sure it had a lot of clichés, and stereotypical characters, but "Avatar" works very well anyway: The story, despite being predictable, it still have a lot of fun to offer. Also, the visual are simply wonderful, creating a completely new world never seen before in movies. This was definitely the best part of it, and it makes interesting even the most boring and trivial parts of the story. I'm not sure if "Avatar" is a "revolutionary" film. The only thing that I could say that for being such an ambitious film, it doesn't disappoint. Sure, it isn't the best film ever made, but it was very funny to watch.
