Avatar (James Cameron) [SPOILERS]

So the objection is to alien characters then? Or that they're blue?

If fantasy/sci-fi isn't your thing then no, you're not going to like this.

I imagine there is a number of different people, each with their own views. Some will fancy the films, some won't. All will have their own tastes, and no two views will be entirely the same.

Mine is that it looks like a big budget blockbuster, and I generally find those vacuous and boring.

You don't get it Danny, the people complaining are doing so because it's the cool thing to do.

Surely it can only be that, given that no-one has seen it? Otherwise people are just complaining about the idea, and that's a bit sad.

From the trailer, I drew the conclusion that 'it looks shit' and I stand by that. It looks like it's going to be shit. If I see it I may change my mind.

I'm not complaining, though. I'm just saying I don't fancy the film. I find I do that. I see a trailer, and decide whether I fancy the film or not. It saves me having to watch everything that's released before deciding whether it's something I think I might enjoy.

But the allegory is so overbearing, just from the trailer. It just seems to be done really heavy-handedly and I think it's nuts to waste so much good design and effets on a storyline a 15 year old would come up with.
 
Anyway Chris, it's the done thing o Urban to jump in and say a new big film looks shit. I remember Wookey positively delighting in launching the Dark Knight thread with the title "The Dark Knight Review: Gutted!"

It was if he was desperate to jump in and say this top notch rarely intelligent blockbuster was shit. So urban ;)

Avatar looks spectacular for sure, but so did the Star Wars prequels at times.

But, still, I'll try to reserve judgement cos usually it annoys me when these films are pre-slated on here. I've seen trailers that looked shit and films that turned out great (the Negotiator) while the Phantom Menace had this feeling of 'Yay! Star wars is bacK!' with the trailer and we all know what happened there

No, i've seen bits of it on the news, and while i appreciate you need to see the whole of it, it doesn't look like what i would enjoy. Just accept it. I prefer not to waste money on overhyped films.

In all honesty, I think consumer cynicism has meant that this is underhyped in WOM terms. Which I like.

A lot of people on here don't seem to get the 'new 3D' thing on here. As a 2D concept it's a good idea, as a 3D concept it's apparently incredible.
 
I wouldn't want to watch a film I didn't fancy any more because it was in 3D.

Pick a film you don't want to watch. Do you want to watch it in 3D?
 

Thing is, I properly did get excited when i watched the Phantom Menace trailer.

sadly, I forgot that George Lucas doesn't know how to direct or write a film. He should have created it and left it to someone like JJ Abrams to do the adult stuff, and the star wars prequels would have been immensely good.
