A good movie.. and i'm being too kind about this

Rating: 5/10 (16 February 2010)

I'm starting to get fed up with this Avatar mania. I've seen people saying it's the best movie in the past 30 years, others that it's the best ever... who are you people who say that? are you kids or is it the first movie you ever saw in your life? how can you say that Avatar is better than works of art like Schindler's list, for example? The movie is good, that's about the most generous description i can make to it. Only good, because it's a bit incomplete, it's not a whole. Obviously, i should be a lunatic not to like what the eye can see, the effects, the innovations, all the visual and audio stuff is just brilliant, it's surely worth the tons of money spent on it. But when it comes to the idea of the film, the doubts begin to appear. Let's be honest, it's just not the most original story. A strong civilization invades one that is rather primitive, but a hero appears and leads the underdogs to victory and saves the day. It also has the love story (it seems that Cameron can't really make a good movie without a love story in it). So, story wise, it's a pretty dull and predictable movie, also pretty unrealistic, like most movies of it's kind (i mean... let's be serious, that's never gonna happen, a bunch of archers beating up a modern army like that in this movie). Even though it had fantastic landscapes and creatures, fast scenes, great effects etc. i just didn't say "OH... MY... GOD!" not even once, i enjoyed it though, but it didn't moved me, it didn't captured me, i didn't forgot about myself when watching it, i didn't thought about it after leaving the cinema. It's the perfect example that money can't buy happiness.
