I don't see what all the hype's about

Rating: 1/10 (12 September 2011)

I saw Avatar twice, not really by choice. The first time in 2D, so right off the bat, the experience was diminished by 100%. An hour and a half in I was more then ready for the story to wrap up. The story itself isn't bad by any means, but it drags on and on through its tedious run time. The second time i saw it was in 3D and was seen because it was a unanimous vote between a group of friends of mine. I figured sure, it'll be in 3D which will add a whole new dimension to my opinion, literally. Once again, it maintained its mediocrity. The visual effects are quite impressive, but had no real standout moments in 3D. And there's something i just can't get through my head, and that's how people love this movie so much. It's really not anything groundbreaking, it's good visual effects. Forgive me if i seem critical, but something this tedious should not have such a high rating. The story isn't bad, but nothing great.
