Most Overrated Movie of All Time

Rating: 1/10 (13 January 2010)

First let me say that I was very very exited for Avatar I expected an outstanding movie with an original plot,good characters and of course outstanding visuals. I was so exited that I drove out of town to see it. Boy was I disappointed.
This movie was poorly acted was really cheesy and had one of the most overused plots ever and that's where I had a real problem with this movie this movie doesn't even try to be original. Right down to the bows and arrows this movie is basically Pocahontas just with aliens. While many will claim that avatar is a retelling or it's using that story to convey a deeper message but no it is still Pocahontas.Don't Believe me? Look a little deeper.
Jake Sully(john smith) is a marine(explorer) going to Pandora(America) to look for Silver(that mineral whatever it is called). He happens to come across the tribes princess Neytiri(Pocahantas) and although she initially distrusts him the mother tree(mother willow) tells her to teach him the ways of their people. They soon fall in love however Jake Sully(john Smith)'s band of Marines(explorers) come and force Jake sully(john smith) to choose the girl he loves or his country. I am fine with retelling of old stories but this is too close to Pocahontas to call original.
This movie is now the second most grossing movie of all time and likely to surpass titanic as #1. This movie teaches directors that to make money you just need it to look cool you don't need interesting characters or a new story you just need amazing visuals.The only thing I learned from Avatar is that if I need 1 billion dollars I will just recreate Aladdin with aliens and as long as it looks cool people will love it.
Remember Sh*t wrapped in shiny foil is still sh*t and no matter how shiny it looks it still smells.
