  • i am sorry about all the previus comments. i was relley out of line. i am just upset that there are people out there who hate this movie and so i toke out all my anger out on this video. sorry about all the offenseive language. And also i know my vocabulary is terrible.

  • I am willing to let other peoples opinoins slide. but not when its this movie. for example i hate the movie Watchmen but I am not going to critize any one who likes it. But this movie doesnt deserve any negtive reveiws and i will not stand for it. I will tell your ass of i you say something bad about this wonderful movie. and yes i know I cant spell for shit. And also what movie do you think is better than this one.

  • Haha, are you James Cameron in disguise or something? It wouldn't surprise me considering how poorly you write and how personally you are taking my critique of the movie. While I find your tenuous grasp of the English language somewhat amusing, I am going to draw this "debate" to a close. Opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one. If you don't like how mine smells then get your nose out of it. Also, most movies are better than this one. Good luck in your sixth grade finals :)

  • Also, thank you for the continuous views and comments on my video, despite how much it seems to upset you.

  • may the navi stab your gay ass. everyone loves this movie expext for a small majority.and by the way of course the aliens look like earths animals. all alien life forms in every scifi film have an earthly basis to them. thats because we dont know what life on other plants looks like.

  • And there we go. You have proven to me you have no ability to argue, no validity or understanding of your own opinions, not to mention severely limited literacy. Have a happy 12th birthday :D

  • I dont agree with you dum fuck. do you think you could do better bitch?

  • Wow haha. Is that really how you react to things? When somebody says they don't agree with your opinion (on something as trivial as a movie to boot) all you can do is insult them? I don't recall insulting you. How about you try explaining your opinion using actual words and reasons (the way I did in the video), if that is you are literate enough to do so (your comment suggests otherwise but I'll give you a chance)

  • Also, yes, I could and have done better. Maybe not in the sense of computer graphics (the one feature I will even admit is to be praised in this film), but as an actor, writer and/or director I believe my work has already far exceeded what is exhibited in this movie.

  • Avatar: the modern Titanic.

  • lol oh man i agree. ugh avatar.

    oh and you forgot ferngully. ;P

  • agree with you totally

    it was just showing ablue light and saying: ooooh, look its blue and this is the best film ever

    i was bored durin this film

  • they say too much ''damn''. that really irritate me!

  • no offense but you look like a mix between KyleMonkey and DaxFlame

  • best review totally agree with you.

    Stories matter because they connect us, enliven us, and are means of transmitting important information about who we are.

  • south park totally nailed it. Dances with Smurfs;)

  • I am in full agreement with you. I thought it was dull and boring, basically everything you just said in that video

  • Its Dances With Wolves in space, except DWW was surprisingly less predictable, MUCH LESS.

  • Avatar is such a great movie ! I have seen it at watch-avatar-now/dot\net

  • I'm so with you man. It's annoying to always hear 'Avatar is the best movie ever!!!' or 'Avatar, omg! It's amazing! Even the Godfather can't tip this!'

    Please, whoever thinks this should go and watch some real movies. It's because of the 3D graphs that it's so 'good'... The plot is thinner than a piece of paper.

    And another disgusting side-effect: people avatarising others... Turning them into the friggin' blue cats...

  • Totally agree with you. Most people that do like this film, base their opinion on subjective ideas or on what the media has told them...Avatar is simply a propagandistic device and a terrible excuse for a film.

    5 stars.

  • Thanks for the support!

  • To each his own, I guess. To be frank, I personally hope you never do another movie review video. I didn't find it humorous or entertaining in any aspect. I hear too many rants against Avatar as it is, and I don't need more of them popping up in my subscription box. Please restrict it to Facebook.

  • Uh..er, no?

    I'm pretty sure that since this is one of my most viewed and discussed videos in ages that I'm going to keep on making movie reviews. If it's any consolation, they won't only be rants and any future ones won't be about Avatar.

  • this was the worst review i have ever heard. You are a very funny person but avatar was amazing, and i dont know any other movie that has giant blue people. Avatar is rated #1 movie of altime because it beat everything and then Titanic. I dont know why you dont like it.

  • I find it funny that you think it's a bad review because I disagree with your opinion. It is an excellent review. I present my opinion in an honest, straightforward and educated manner with reasons to back me up.

    I don't like it because it's a fucking horrible movie.

  • No dude, you are blind, maybe the 3-D of the movie turned you blind, because Avatar is a big piece of S H I T. This review is great, i Woul have done the same review. Actually I have a Group in Facebook about people who feel "wierd" because they don´t like Avatar.

    This is one of the most over rated movie on the history of Hollywood.

  • Maybe your blind cuz this is the best movie i have seen in a while

  • So we have two options.

    1. You don´t see too many movies.

    2. You see a lot of movies, but they are just crappy, like this one.

  • i agree to 100% it was boring.. the story war boring for sure ;P

  • :D:D:D

  • I find it personally disconcerting that a movie that I find so flat, bland, and maybe even a little sleazy is loved by so many. Honestly, I want to know(!), what do people see in this movie that they connect with on a personal level, or is it just entertainment, whatever that means. There were no characters to understand, no perspectives to see, and no artistry well performed. I feel like there is some (honestly) sad difference between people who liked and disliked this movie.

  • I know what you feel, I feel the same...

  • avatar was amazing !!!! one of the best films so far this year =]

  • your definatly right

  • i agree the movie was terrible and way too long and i thought i was the only one who hated it!!!

  • My spanish facebook group about what you feel it calls "Soy un bicho raro: a mi NO me gusto AVATAR" (i feel like a freak: I did not like AVATAR)" There are a lot of things in english if you want to join.

  • I thought this movie was awsome!

  • There's always gonna be haters on your Youtube man, don't sweat it. I think you should do more reviews!! Whether or not people agree with you, you're funny. And I liked Avatar, but I didn't want to dry-hump it like everyone else. And yeah, I was like "Why am I hearing a T-Rex? Aren't I on another planet? Oh wait, no, I'm in a crowded movie theater. Because the illusion was just shattered..........but I do have this urge to watch Jurassic Park again..."

  • I don't think you where talking about the right movie, if not then... FUCK YOU!!!!!!!

  • Haha, you're a dumbass.

  • well I think the movie is educational, just the name Avatar can teach some thing, in here especialy i liked they emphesised on NADI, VIBRATION, human self realisation, all are part of the hindu KUNDALINI i.e about the equilibrium of human body, l dont want to go deep into it. I would say this is an easy way to curb the modern sociaty to understand the myth of human intelect, power, peace.

  • Nobody learned anything from Avatar.

  • I hate that movie. It's too long and

  • ...AND?!!?!?!?!?

  • Chris! I just found out something horrifying! They are making a trilogy out of this piece of crap they call a film!

  • As long as they get progressively worse I'm ok.

  • you can litterally draw a direct timeline to timeline comparison to the movie pocahontas, im not kidding, this movie is the most uncreative, boring and shuv in ur face movie ever, i hate people that say this a good movie. same goes with people who think GIjoe was good and transformers, if a movie can make me laugh while people are being mass murdered i think it counts as a bad movie, i litteraly laughed thruout the tree scene and the battle wen the horses get mowed down, U SUK JAMES CAMERON!!!

  • Excellent film I watched it for free here THECINEMA {.} TV

  • avatar should have been called boringtar

  • Thank you!

  • You're welcome.

  • I´m not agree with you! Avatar is the best film I never seen!!!

  • You're an idiot.

  • @ChrisPalmieri well it´s my opinion...

  • You to be no typing well.

  • I've already commented on this movie, but I'll comment again, this piece of garbage of a movie has already made 1 billion dollars! Totally sickens me!

  • Yeah. I've kind of started to except the fact that it'll be nominated for Best Picture since there's 10 nominees this year but if it wins I will be sincerely pissed off.

  • Yeah join the club! lol

  • Thanks man, I didn't want to see this movie before, But you have turned me off of it completly. So what your saying is, This movie, was, not origonal? Sounds to me like they tried to hard and ended up making crap.

  • Well, I think the basic problem is that, yeah, the visual effects were really well done but overall the story was really dull and unoriginal.

  • stumbled across this video. your awesome.

  • Thank you very much! Be sure to check out my other stuff :D

  • will do! i'm subscribing.

  • Thanks a lot!

  • lmfaoo. i loved this. i think you should deffinatley make more movie reviews because this was hilarious

  • Thank you, I will!

  • The avatar system has been done before in a novel called Call Me Joe. It centered around a paraplegic man telepathically linked to an artificially created creature in order to explore a harsh planet. Sounds familiar doesn't it?

  • I should correct myself. It was a short story and not a novel. oops :S

  • Thank you for that, I wasn't aware of this :)

  • I'm truly upset that you didn't like it, Chris. :-\ And I have no points to argue that haven't already been made. Just personally, I walked in there knowing nothing about the plot, and I loved it. (I never succumb to hype anymore. It's a bad habbit that leaves you disappointed.)

    Where we come to a disagreement, I suppose, is when you say you feel like this was a retelling of a familiar story, but wasn't done WELL. I agree it's a familiar story, but I think it was done outstandingly.

    -sigh-

  • Can we still be friends?

  • Couldn't agree with you more Palmieri.

  • Well, to each his own. Thanks for the comment anyway!

  • I saw it in 3D the effects were great but the story line absolutely sucked! Everyone should've just died! it would've been a happier ending.

  • It would have been an unexpected ending at least :P

  • the navi had real values. we dont.

  • The Navi are fictitious. We are not.

  • It's a film based on universal themes. I don't think that makes it unoriginal.

    I thought it was very original with the bio luminescent life, hints of evolution here and there, the idea of an entire world networked like that and the Na'vi's ability to jack into the system with their nerve endings was very original. The avatar system was pretty original. The idea that the humans were the technologically advanced race invading and destroying primitive aliens was a nice change of pace.

  • See, this is the kind of comment I appreciate. Not only did you present your argument intelligently and tastefully, you actually brought up a couple of points I had not thought of, thereby actually challenging me intellectually. And for that, I must thank you. Thank you very much.

    To reiterate, I never said the movie's theme was unoriginal. Theme cannot be unoriginal, theme will always be repeated. HOWEVER, I still feel the overall execution was unoriginal.

  • For example: Crazy Heart has been compared to The Wrestler. Yes, thematically, it's a very similar story but it's the execution that was brilliant and made it so good. See both of them if you haven't.

    Also, I liked the creature work, however, there WERE actually flaws there too. There was an evolutionary inconsistency. The entire animal kingdom of Pandora was based on a six-legged format, much like our four legged.

  • This made sense, given the way the creatures were built, but it didn't make sense that the Navi only had 4 limbs and not even a hint of lost arms or legs, when even the other primates were shown with extra extremities.

    I know I'm being picky but, it is true.

    Also, overall, no matter how cool the world they created was, the acting was mediocre at best. And if we don't have strong, believable acting to bring the world to life and drive the message home, all is lost.

  • I heard the applause and I said "Really!?" Then I heard laughter.

  • A laugh in the theatre is always fun to get :D

  • I FUCKING LOVED THIS MOVIE :D

  • To each his own, thanks anyway for the comment!

  • Very Incisive on your part of intellectuality I encourage you to go on and keep doing whatever you do I'm just skimming through the vids I can find bored as Hell T_T

  • Well if you're bored, check out my other stuff. I don't usually do movie reviews, I'm more partial to comedic short films and videos.

  • Will Do

  • Great, thanks! Be sure to leave some feedback on them!

  • wow chris - ur the first person i've seen comment to reply to people - that deserves kudos! - interesting review!

    merry christmas

  • Thank you! And Merry Christmas to you as well!

    I've always said that I would reply to all the comments until it was no longer possible (ie: They skyrocket to the thousands within a day). I really appreciate people's support, advice and critiques so I try to show it :D

  • I won't go crazy on you like other people would, but I will say that I understand what you're saying. However, I thought it was an interesting experience, I had no problem with the regurgitated story for the simple fact that its an important kind of message that needs to be thrown in people's faces. The love story was silly but I guess they wanted extra fluff...oh well, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it. Perhaps the next movie, Sherlock Holmes, eh maybe....haha.

  • Thanks! Well, I don't have any problem with the message, I just have a problem with how poorly executed it was. Either way, I'm glad I saw it, even though I didn't like it.

  • Eh it's your opinion. I disagree severely with you but that's fine. Haha were you really angry with this film or were you just trying to put on a character?

  • No character, this is how I really am when I care about things, haha.

    And thank you for respecting my opinion, despite the fact that it isn't the same as yours. As you can see in the comments below, not everybody has that ability.

  • Haha yes sir I certainly see! And no problem you're welcome ;). I was a little scared to comment because of the combination of the video and the comments below.

  • Don't ever feel afraid to comment. I am very open to discussion and debate, as long as it's done respectfully and intelligently.

  • Ok I'm gonna comment on some of your points. You're right that the story is lacking but I didn't think it was nearly as lacking as you were saying. And you're right that it's 2009 and movies need to look good. Up looked good, A Christmas Carol looked great, Avatar was groundbreaking. Like it's phenomenal. I think we just critique movies differently. You lean towards the story. My philosophy is if it was entertaining then I like it. The visuals alone were extremely entertaining.

  • Do this thing more often. Angry Chris has a wider vocabulary than silly Chris.

  • I will ReekyGuy. I will :D

  • I thought it was very good when i saw it in 3d

  • Well, to each his own. Thanks very much for the sub!

  • I have just realized this: there is a movie called "Avatar" - out now obviously - and there is a movie in productoin/completed called "The Last Airbender".

    Wierd huh?

  • Yeah, I actually thought that's what this was when I first read about it. I hope The Last Airbender is better than this...and for that matter, better than the last couple of movies that Shamalan directed.

  • @ChrisPalmieri Shyamalan is a much better director than he is a writer. When he does too much on too many movies, they start to suck something awful. I'm hoping that since most of the source material is already written, Shyamalan can't really screw up the storyline.

  • I hope so.

  • Ya I hope so too.

  • Also, if you saw the movie, you would know that there are no six-legged rhinos in the first ten minutes. Either you didn't see it, and your posting BULLSHIT. And you said its "similar in lines, and shots". Yet you do not provide examples. EXPLAIN.

  • 1) Never said my work was like Cameron's, just said maybe if he didn't like reviews, he's like my films.

    2) I was just paraphrasing with rhinos, I didn't mean the first ten minutes of the movie, I meant the first ten minutes of the part with the rhinos. If you don't believe I saw the film I'll show you the fucking ticket.

    3) My sideburns have nothing to do with either the movie, or my opinions on it.

    4) Thanks for the comments!

  • "Perhaps you'll enjoy my other work if you haven't seen it yet. I don't do movie reviews that often but I do make movies and short videos a lot. "

    Yes, I am sure you can teach the likes of Cameron a thing about making movies. Please abstain from movie reviews because no one wants to hear from a silly nancy.

  • your a fucking retard! LOL

  • How am I a retard?

  • lol... i liked it... i thought it might egg on more earth green movies just like how star wars really started off the whole sci fi trend... i loved the background... the director took most of the background from his love of the undersea world... like the whole coral reef thing... i thought the whole 'mating' thing was weird... she's blue and 10 feet tall... that's just weird... but other than that i liked it XD

  • Moron

  • I'm a moron because I disagree with you? I would say the way I've done this has been pretty intelligent. Nothing about me is moronic aside from the fact that I don't like one movie.

  • Keep doing these! ;) This is definitely the type of thing I see you should be doing! I need to see the movie to say if your review was similar to what I would think of it bu either way, Great vid, Keep it up!

  • Dude, do more video reviews. You seem to have a very unbiased viewpoint on this stuff. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm going to go in with an open mind. Even if I disagree with you, I still think it's cool you're not worried about the popular opinion while giving your own. Keep it up.

  • Thank you, I will. I should point out that I am actually quite a lenient critic, I try to see the good in most movies and appreciate them for that. So this should give you a look into how much it disappointed me. Let me know if you agree with me when you see it :)

  • agree with koolgool...you can save me the trouble of watching these bad movies...unbiased movie reviewers are hard to find these days

  • Yes, well, like I said, I'm usually a pretty lenient critic. I mean, I don't want to sit down and watch something I don't like. And because I tend to see so many film, I try and avoid the bad ones so, I imagine I'll be endorsing a lot more films than hating.

  • Fuck you i thought you were smart. It was fucking amazing. Your mind was just to fucking shallow. It had a ton of story that was amazing bitch. the movie should get 10/10

  • @TheKoper22 "RARG! HIS OPINION IS DIFFERENT FROM MINE. HE MUST BE AN IDIOT"

    God, you people are retarded.

  • Thank you.

  • I agree with tellmeimaninja

  • I am totally okay with you disagreeing with me but please, don't stoop to personal insults. You don't know anything about me so, it just makes you look like an idiot. Try intelligently breaking down your argument the way I have done.

  • I just finished watching it...I totally agree with your review

  • Thanks for the support!

  • Great Review. You really went in depth. Hope to see more of this.

  • Thank you, you will!

  • Bah! I agree the movies Story was Unoriginal, but doesn't mean the Story was bad and tired some people like the Pocohontas Story which is copied by Dances with wolves,and copied over and over, You ask why cause thats the story people like to see. and just to let you Know IF your gonna complain about being unorginal try being that yourself as the entire review style has been done over and over....

  • Well, I've only just started doing movie reviews so, perhaps I will find more originality in it over time. I can say with confidence though that my work as a film maker, actor and writer are as original as possible.

    Also, Pocahontas and Dances with Wolves and all of those other movies were actually good.

    That was my point: It's okay to repeat story, but you need to do it well. This wasn't done well.

  • Well glad you took that to heart, I hope you find your niche and maybe a cool catch phrase something that can be hard these days to come up with, and not be called a copy cat.

    And keep this in mind, no matter what your Opinion is on a movie, someone is going to disagree and probably voice it. And remember have fun, Even make fun of a movie you liked. Cause a funny Review is always more interesting to watch, in fact because of that, I love watching/reading bad reviews more than good ones.

  • Thanks very much! I will follow this advice as best I can :D

  • Comment removed

  • Dude, I'm sorry but, anyone with any basic knowledge of film would see that you're wrong.

  • Sure..

    Oh well, I disagree. I guess I don't hate you.. :l Haha

  • I'm glad you don't hate me :)

    Perhaps you'll enjoy my other work if you haven't seen it yet. I don't do movie reviews that often but I do make movies and short videos a lot.

  • Haha! Well yes, I've seen most of your other videos and find them pretty entertaining :)

  • Well thank you very much :D

  • Btw.. i was just criticizing and not freaking out like 'scrambuild' up there.

  • Yeah, scrambuild's a douche. The worst thing about him is that he's not intelligent enough to actually argue his opinion.

  • Agreed

  • Good review, I expected this movie to be an extremely shallow graphics-fest.

  • And it was.

  • Your review wins. I'm glad someone was finally honest about that crap.

  • Glad you liked it!

  • HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!

    at least you supported your facts.

    I loved it though.

  • :D

    :D

  • Thank you Chris

    Thank you

  • You're welcome Dustin.

  • Opinions are your own, five stars for speaking da mind!

  • Thanks!

  • Perfect Catch Phrase "Don't get aids"

  • I'll use it!

  • Reminded me of The Last Samurai o_O

  • Ooh! that one too!

  • Blue. Cat-People.

  • me like. make moar.

  • I very well may.

  • yeah movie reviews with you Chris will be very entertaining just because when you see a a film of any sort you seem to have a lot to say and a lot of feedback i think it would be a magnificent idea to do movie reviews lol loved the vid

    ---David------

  • Thank you David :D

  • Movie Reviews.... Meh

  • Yeah, like I said, an experiment. I just see a lot of movies and figured I'd try to put it to use.

  • ...no movie is going to be completely original. every film takes off of other films. after all these years of film making do you really think any film is going to be COMPLETELY original.

    you sound like a hardcore critic

  • This is true. In fact I said this in the video. However, it's not that the film isn't completely original. It's completely UNORIGINAL. Cliche is not in idea, it's in execution. And the execution was cliche.

  • @ChrisPalmieri ...no new film will ever be completely original.

  • I didn't ask for that. I asked for it to be somewhat original. This movie wasn't. Partial originality and lack of originality are not the same. You seem to be missing my point :/

  • definitely not going to see this :P Sounds ignorant, but even from the trailer I could tell that it was gonna be crap. For some reason, I think its only a movie that little-ish kids could enjoy. The plot (like you said) has been done thousands of times before, and it doesn't go deep into any subject and make you think at all. It just looks bad, and as from this review I can tell that it most likely will be bad, thus resulting in me not going to see it :)

  • BAH! Movie reviews! No! Bad! Suck! Bad suck! BAH! No!

  • Did you watch it? Cuz I'm still funny and stuffs...

    But yeah, like I said, this is an experiment, just seeing where it goes.

  • Of course I watched it. Be more funny next time. Maybe review "Jingle All the Way" next time. Anyway, thanks for making want to go see Avatar more.

  • Well, I've seen a lot of movies this year and I just want to start trying to put my opinion out there. But I agree, more comedy next time. Thanks for the input.

    Don't see it.

  • I'm loving all of these vide
