Very Entertaining BUT a Sorely Run-of-the-Mill Egoistical Storyline

Rating: 8/10 (22 January 2010)

... And that's what James Cameron is all about - no more no less. A little notch above Spielberg in this genre - viewed from this perspective, nothing disappointing.
Would have given it a 10 if the storyline did not churn out yet another tired "the universe needs another American superhero to save the day else woe to all, all is lost".
Americans can be vicious villains, but oh.. wait! Right on time... here comes our American hero in whatever guise... Avatar in this case... to save the oh so lost and idiotic others... lost lost lost till that shiny white guy turns up... blue and against all odds... cheers and hurrah! ... SNORE
Yes, the movie does not indicate the people involved are necessarily Americans, but there is no need to state the obvious.
What to do... if you wanna the visual feast... with it comes the "I am the king of the world.. nay.. universe now" sugary crap.
