3 weeks to write the plot?

Rating: 1/10 (25 March 2012)

I heard that Cameron took 3 weeks to write the plot. Really? That long? It's a shame that after spending all that money on the very pretty CGI they didn't have anything left to spend on a plot or a proper story or any characters that were anything more than cartoon cut-outs.
So the Americans (yes, you know they are) go to another strange land to rob it of its mineral wealth and they first have to get the natives to move out of the way. The natives use bows and arrows, paint their faces and have great respect for the forces of nature. It's another modern "Western" straight out of the "Dances With Wolves" school.
The hero is straight out of "John Carter of Mars" (the books, not the terrible film), the heroine is Pocahontas, but with more flesh exposed - even if it is blue - to keep the adult males happy. The baddies are all super-evil psychotics without a single redeeming feature.
What a waste of time and talent
