Those are worth the watch, IMHO! I don't agree with everything he said, but mostly I think he's spot on. Be careful if you watch, he does spoil the whole thing.

I finally saw Avatar last night, in 3D... Somehow, I managed to go into it almost completely ignorant of the story, and only saw a couple of early previews. I knew there were alien blue people on another planet, that James Cameron directed it, and that it is now the highest grossing movie ever made. That's it. It was very different from what I expected, and the first words out of my mouth were "I didn't know it would be so violent." I am dismayed to say that there were several children under the age of 8 in surrounding seats, and several of them cried audibly during the more violent parts. Why do parents insist on bringing their children to such movies? I remember being traumatized by far less violence in movies I saw as a child. Not to mention that I just paid $22 for two tickets to a movie so that I can watch and hear IT, not your alternating between chatty and crying kid.

It is a visually stunning film, although the 3D elements were mostly distracting, and the glasses annoying. I would like to see it again, without 3D.

Why on earth would you expect parents to not take their 8 years or younger kids to a violent PG-13 movie? :roll:

OMG!! I laughed so hard, I tinkled my pants. That's about the funniest thing I have seen in a long time and exactly how I felt about this movie.
:funn:

AVATAR is currently the Second best Movie with 1.6 billion earned from Box Office sales over a span of just about 4 weeks, whilst Titanic is still the Highest with 1.7 billion over a span of 14 weeks when released in 1997.

Do you think AVATAR will beat Titanic in time?

Be weary: Titanic's 100 year anniversary of the actual sinking of the ship is in two years, meaning Titanic will be released to theaters again, possibly remaining the Highest of all time. If there was to be a sequel for AVATAR, would you go see it?

I always wanted to see a Dances With Wolves Sequel. At the end of Avatar the thought crossed my mind that the marines would probably come back and napalm the whole planet. Marines are like that. But that would be hard to stretch into 3 hours.

It seemed obvious to me, with the ending of Avatar having Sulley "come to life" as a Na'vi ,that we were in for a sequel. If you think about how much has been invested in this whole new technology, they have to make several more to really make the BIG BUCKS.
