No Thanks To James Cameron

Rating: 1/10 (20 May 2010)

When I heard the movie was coming out in theaters, the commercials made it look not so hot. While thinking it didn't look so good, I never saw it in theaters, and therefore, wasn't sure how it was going to be. Then, I heard that it was directed by James Cameron, and I thought to myself, "this has to be good." I was WRONG. I loved Titanic and the Terminators, but they actually had a good story. For the first half of avatar, the movie is very slow paced and nothing really happens. I didn't even know what was going on through most of it. I'm not very impressed by graphics (which is probably why I didn't enjoy it) and the idea wasn't original at all. By the script, you can tell that there was absolutely NO thought put into the dialogue AT ALL. The actors and characters also weren't believable at all. Sigourney Weaver from the beginning to the end just got on my nerves. Also, It's quite a few years into the future. Through the whole movie I was wondering why he was in a crummy old wheel chair that looks as if it's from the 1980's. Also, it was far enough into the future to where I'm sure they could find a cure for his legs.
In a nutshell, Avatar is not a film that I would recommend to watch and don't just see it for the graphics because just because you're getting a big piece of eye candy, doesn't mean you're getting a good movie.
