A HUGE disappointment!

Rating: 6/10 (11 February 2010)

A HUGE disappointment! I don't like going to the cinemas and wasting fifteen dollars on one movie but Avatar seemed to me like a movie the would blow me away completely and probably earn a straight ten from me. So, how can this "masterpiece" be a complete failure, in my professional opinion, and better yet why is it in the top 250? It has got so much attention for like two months and it is getting even more famous over the last couple days but it does not mean this is the best movie in the world. Who cares if it has gotten 8.8 on IMDb or if it has broken the all time box office record but in the end you have to ask yourself: "Was it really worth it?". And for me, sadly, it was not what I expected, I was petrified that it descended down my ladder more quickly than Epic Movie, and the first-half seemed to me like the movie was wasted. The 3-D was not cool and the glasses hurt my nose, it hurt so much that I had to take them of repeatedly just to massage my nose and was I thankful for that. Sure, Avatar looks visually great, it may have the best graphics in a film ever, and it really makes the movie worthwhile but you have to give all the credit to the money. Without it Avatar could suck my brass balls! Please disregard that last comment! Thank you. James Cameron has directed my favorite action film of all time, Terminator 2, and for that I am eternally grateful but Avatar hypnotizes people into thinking that it has the best story ever when it doesn't. The graphics and the world of Pandora just cover up how sh*t the story really is. Just to put it straight, James Cameron has disappointed me......a lot! A respected and a well known director making a film about blue people is hilarious especially if they are called the Na'Avi. The film starts out slow and boring, no action, no laughs, just plain slowness and it surprisingly remains like that for an hour and a half but paces up in the rest of the remaining time. I really expected more from this film! Sigourney Weaver gave the performance of a hard-a$$ scientist who, obviously, starts to develop emotions in the end but it was so sad to see that it didn't leave a good impression on Avatar. Sam Worthington did really good in playing the wheelchair bound Jake Sully who takes up the role of being a Na'Avi and it is when he is a Na'Avi, he gives a good and strong performance. Stephen Lang who plays the f...ed up Marine was a walking cliché because in every eye candy the mean guy has to be strong and fearless and Stephen delivered that right on the mark. Zoe Saldana did pretty good in playing a Na'Avi but her accent immediately gives her away. Giovanni Ribisi was my favorite actor in the film for many simple reasons, he was funny, cool sort of guy, and he offered the kind of personality which made him unique from the rest of the bums.
(May Contain Some Spoilers!!!) In the year 2154, Jake Sully, a wheelchair bound guy, arrives on the planet Pandora and he immediately realizes that he is not in Kansas anymore. First of all a war is raging on between the humans and the Na'Avi over a precious material which is buried in the blue peoples sacred ground. Second of all, he realizes that technology has somewhat evolved and transformer-type war machines along with a few more weapons have given the humans advantage to unleash hell on Pandora. He signs up for the Avatar program and expects the unexpected. He can suddenly walk again and with his new advantage he does a bit of "searching around". He meets a girl (Zoe Saldana)and after getting used to the blue parasites lifestyle, he starts developing feelings for them.
(Spoilers from hereon in!!)The world Pandora is amazing and you should see the movie just for that. The floating mountains and its weird inhabitants are mysterious and interesting. The horse-looking things look very realistic along with the flying things but it all sums up to fun. The soundtrack and music are the best I have heard in a long time in a movie because it gets wilder and adds more coolness when there is a big battle, like at the end. The battles were great since here weren't any boring action scenes and the film gets interesting after a battle. A lot more. If i could choose to watch Avatar again, I would happily decline since what I am doing right now. There are lots of styles in an action scene from fighting with bow and arrows to fighting with guns to using your body, this film really does contain ACTION. The film is too long and a few unnecessary scenes should be cut from the film because they don't offer anything except time wasting. Anyone who likes action, good music, big fights, weird rituals, and crazy scenery should definitely watch this movie because they will be blown away. The rest of them would find it long, boring, slow, dramatic, time wasting, ball-sucking, sh*tty acting, money wasting, sh*t tasting, sleep-making, rubbish, dumb, hilarious, retarded, bad graphics, and unnecessary.
Story - 6.5 Action - 7.5 Special effects - 9.0 Graphics - 7 Soundtrack - 9.0 Total - 7/10 - Could have been better!
