Yeah, this is not to be confused with "Avatar: The Last Airbender" or its film counterpart "The Last Airbender" directed by M. Night Shamylan.

I love how we always confuse this film for that fail cartoon lolol. I honestly thought James Cameron's gonna make the cartoon into a movie till I saw that blue alien with size B tits judging by the concept art. Hmmm.......that won't do.

I'm hoping this film will be good. I hear he's gonna do a manga series for a movie after this called Battle angel something.

So. One of the most expensive movies evar (ranked 4th according to wikipedia), made by the guy who made the highest grossing film of all time (according to wikipedia, again) as his first movie in twelve years, question is:
Is it any good?
The trailers don't make me believe it's one of The Best Movies of All Time And Then Some. In terms of visuals, it looks like a Blow The Audience Away With Excessive CGI (or perhaps scenery porn or a synonym). In terms of story, it looks rather lame though - thesupreme white men humans want to rule over the blacks an alien planet for oil for Unobtanium (I presume), can't beat the blacks aliens, send in an undercover fellow to blend in and couple with a female nigress alien (with big innocent eyes), he falls in love, decides to thwart his klan master leaders, and they have hot steamy sex in the car before he dies and she cries along with the whole audience.
Is my guess far off? Or is it really a good movie?

Holy shit. I just read the description of it in the newspaper this morning, and I was spot on.
Summary of two and a half hours of movie: Pocahontas, but then blue and with Iraq war and global warming issues.
And this fellow wants to make it a triology or worse. What the fuck.

Well if James Cameron's so damn awesome why couldn't he write a real story?

Hollywood pays them to write crap. We live in the age of Remakes my friend, nothing truly epic or original exists.

^That. I still shiver when I remember what Hollywood wanted to do with LOTR.

based on reviews I'm reading/watching, you're dead wrong. it's not the second comming of movie-jesus, but it's still a badass movieNot going to bother seeing this movie, at least until it comes out on free-to-air TV or something. I think it'll be James Cameron's biggest flop, unless I am unaware of other flops of his.

For the record, reviews are about as reliable as... oh wait, they're their own analogy.
You want to know why games only get high ratings these days? Because only good games are sent to reviewers. Shit games (Rogue Warrior, recently, for example) are silenced to death, and won't appear on most review sites (or so the creators want).
Same goes for movies. People are afraid of rating a movie negatively.
Last movie I saw that was OMG FOR THE WIN in terms of graphics was 10.000 BC, and it was a complete crock of utter shit. Seriously.

The reviews I've read, reflect my opinion of it. That its not all THAT great. With movies like that, I wait for it to come out on TV, unless a friend hires it on Blu-ray or something because I'm stingy like that. Sure, it may have impressive graphics, and a half decent storyline, but I guess its one of those movies where you either like it, or don't like it =P.

At least Avatar is a fucking original story and not a sequel, prequel, remake, or adaption of something else. Gotta give it credit for that.

If a movie just copies a billion other stories it doesn't matter whether its a sequel.
And don't give me that "no story is a original" crap either, they can at least make an effort.
