God, I HATED James Cameron's Avatar, the most overrated film of 2009, and by far his weakest film!

Rating: 1/10 (6 January 2010)

I hated Avatar.
Those three words are more true than anything else I can think of right now. With one of the biggest film budgets in history, and with his first film since Titanic, James Cameron puts another big budget film back on the big screen.
The visual effects were average, the characters VERY forgettable, the dialog atrocious, the plot very predictable, and the storyline was extremely unoriginal.
Instead of something remotely original, Cameron took elements from Dances With Wolves, the animated films, Ferngully and Pocahontas, The Matrix, and his own Terminator films and combined them into one of the biggest messes ever put on the big screen.
By the end of the film I cared absolutely nothing for any of the characters, the lead is about as dull as the bottom of my shoe, the idiotic "blue monkeys" were irritating, and the evil humans just got more laughable as time went on.
The fact that so many people view this film as good film-making makes me question the intelligence of every person who does so. This isn't good film-making, it's just as bad directing as Michael Bay at his worst. I can guarantee you that if James Cameron's name wasn't attached to this awful film, it would have RAZZIE written all over it. In fact, I think the script and the direction should both get RAZZIE nominations, and I could care less what the fans of this ridiculous film think.
Avatar is not only James Cameron's weakest film, it's also film-making for the lowest common denominator!
