  • Magicians are cooler than kings we dont care...

  • Effects>Story.

  • James Cameron is the Fred Durst of the movie industry. Hated for stupid reasons.

  • TOOOOOOMMMM CHAAATTTAAALLLBBAAASSSSHHHHHH!­

  • someone kill da guy tht said 7.5

  • Films get progressively worse as CGI evolves.

  • This movie was a big step forward for film making...in the completely wrong direction! Avatar= most overrated movie in the history of everything!

  • @xFIRERUSHx Yes it was!

  • @xFIRERUSHx are you serious dude that movie had it all the effects the actors and most of all i personally thought it had a deep amazing story and i think it was one of the greatest movies i had ever seen and i like all movies like my two number one favorites are avatar and goodfellas

  • @AGStyle1997 That's fine that you like it. However, special effects do not make a movie great. Characters and plots do. The plot is extremely predictable and the characters are as flat and cliche as they get. Take District 9 for example. Characters we care about, along with a important plot. Wikus grew an emotional bond with the single father Prawn and his child even though they were different. The alien respected Wikus as well. Avatar taught me you can solve problems with your pony tail.

  • Good movie, but hardly original. It's basically Dances With Wolves in outer space. By the way, why do the corporate soldiers wear US military fatigues circa 2010 when it's supposed to be the mid 23rd century? Shouldn't they be wearing something more advanced or perhaps even a corporate uniform, complete with logo?

  • @skendrii1 Soldiers wear whatever they need to protect themselves. Bronze, until iron came along. Iron, until steel. Steel until gunpowder was protected. We now wear cloth and kevlar. As the next logical step, according to this film, is a huge metal exoskeleton then the uniform of the soldier becomes irrelevant - its only use is to make the soldiers A) slightly harder to see and B) unified.

    Therefore green/camo works fine. :P

  • @nokshor True, but military uniforms do evolve over time as technology evolves. Camo will probably be around for a long time, but the uniforms of that era would almost certainly look different than ours do nowadays. I mean, early 21st century miltary uniforms would look about as out of place upon a 22nd century soldier as would Minutemen marching down the streets of Kabul.

  • Flimpsy storyline or, better yet, a non excisting storyline. Movie sucked doggyturds.

  • 2 - this film sucks massive donkey balls its just special effects!

  • plot of the movie: Pocahontas: IN SPACE!

  • you do the watcher i think

  • Really awesome movie, looked stunning, with a pretty good storyline to boot :)

  • Avatar was somwhat mediocre - even with the 3d. I give it a C-

  • I laughed so much when you were talking about critics not liking action films and up came a picture of Roger Ebert. ROFL

  • she now works at marvel

    

  • Avatar was a good movie. But the story was clich'e and over used. Were have we seen this before...um Ferngully, Dances with Wolves, Pocohantes, so on.

    It wasn't so orginal and in my opinion gained the attention from it's effects. Though it is obviously CG.

  • I personally think District 9 had a better story, although there is no doubt that Avatar was beautifully animated.

  • the best movie of 2009!!!!! it win in my eyes

    the hart locker fuck you!!!!!!!

  • @12345678927164 its HURT locker. this movie was a 3 dimensial video game rip off of ferngully. the hurt locker was true and raw and intense. with a brother in the army, i couldnt be happier the hurt locker won.

  • @xBadGirlBeautyx this movie wasn't so good as people said, hurt locker is just phenomenal...

  • @12345678927164 I think the Hurt Locker won because it has a good story, Avatar is just effects nothing more.

  • @GenerationMine Avatar had quite a bit of character development especially with the natives and yes the special effects are gorgeous. The story is basically a rehash of stories like Pocahontas but then again most films today are. People bash the story because the special effects are so damn good and quite obviously the stand out.

  • The story is a rip off of "Mercenary Fighters".

  • Story is crap, but the graphics are fabulous - in the end, the crappy Pocahontas ripoff plot overpowers the graphics; it's predictable, but I'd see it again just for the CG.

  • I like this girl ^^' usually when reviewers interview viewers or casual viewers, they're usually patronizing, and to me they're unwatchable becaus of that... but i like her shes cool.

    btw Avatar is desperatly over rated. the effects were brilliant... that was all, its just eye candi. very cliche in alot of areas :/

  • Pathetic, the ad I got was some forgotten American Idol contestant singing a coffee company jingle, what is the world coming to, disgusting, corporations are choking the culture 

  • I've been a video game player since Atari™ and PAC-Man..... Yes, without doubt, Avatar is a gorgeous movie with rich colors and details. The concept is marvelous; the craftsmanship superb.... But I have an XBox so CGI worlds are not so impressive to me. The clichèd storyline, the gaps in logic, the eye-rolling "Dances with Wolves" plot..... I'm glad people like this, but without a solid story, it's merely cotton candy.....

  • Extremely over-rated. If it wasn't for the 3D technology (Which was really great) I don't think movie would have done well at all. I got bored the first time I watched it, Come on people the storyline was shit. It was like the smurfs and Pocahontas got it on and had some ugly bastard child. I'm not saying Titanic was the best movie ever but it was sure as hell better than this movie.

  • fuck you. this is a good movie.. not chronological.. IJK. :)

  • People actually hate this movie? They don't have any reason to be jaded about this but........ do it anyway? Why?... They won't tell you why... Because they're jaded and in denial.

  • The story was too "Treehugger" but the FX were great!

    8.2-10.

  • pocahantaus-nuff said

  • Avatar is a dull movie - nothing more than CGI-Porn throughout

  • Haha I love how everyone said district 9 beats this shit after they just thought it was "marvelous". Hah district 9 is for men, this is for little girls

  • Avatar is just another example of a movie where special effects and graphics have completely cannibalized the story, plot, characters, etc. All they did was take the story of Pocahontas and give it a futuristic theme. Had it not been for the "oh so special and groundbreaking 3D effects", this movie would have bombed.

  • Haha :D You can see the greenscreen being reflected in her hair :P

  • Get over Star Wars, you fucking geeks.

    Lucas ruined them with those horrendous prequels.

  • One of the idiots said that the acting was good??

  • ...In all honesty, creating names like "Jar Jar Binks" and saying, "The force is strong with this one" is not any more intelligent than something Cameron can come up with. Both are great directors, and in my opinion it is a waste of time saying one is better than the other. They are simply different. To make my long story shorter, put it this way...Avatar will move those who have their eyes, ears and hearts opened, and disappoint those who can never have enough. What else is new? Go CAMERON

  • ...AND yet you still aren't happy. I am not surprised. Sure we could all laugh at names such as "Unobtainium" and simplified war speeches like, "This is our land", but if you think about it there is a whole lot of reasons, and very good ones for the simplicity put behind in the script. They put so much into the cinematography and artistry. It wasn't trying to bore people into an academy award.

  • With all that they put behind every little aspect of Avatar, they deserved the recognition and the RESPECT at least, even if you do not like the film. It put those actors and directors, artists and so on a lot to come out with something just to entertain you. They put the right colors in, the beauty, the love, the action, and even dumbed it down. Do you think they dumbed it down because they are dumb? No they are aiming for the always unforgiven and never-pleased American movie viewers.

  • It took more than 14 years total to create Avatar. They had to wait until technology was able to handle his dream. It was not meant to be a sci-fi, but a fantasy. The last I checked, fantasy is the WRITERS creation, where the skies the limit. When the ideas and the slate to draw it on is YOURS, it CAN'T be wrong. You can dislike it all you want, but I don't see any of you swimming in millions of dollars from your negative and uneducated comments. Seriously, go do some research first.

  • You want an honest critique of the film? CGI is a groundbreaking technology that actually gives actors more freedom to be themselves. They are put through a lot less in regards to sitting for hours in a chair just for the "makeup". Sigorney Weaver, herself, says it is liberating. She is a veteran actress, so i think her opinion has some credibility. There were a few mistakes, as there are in ANY movie, no matter how well rated, but those mistakes were to be expected, even Cameron expected. MORE

  • To those of you dissing the film as if you know more about movies then um let's say the director sound really dumb. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I love how everyone is always trying to sound better than someone else. This world is so fake, much more fake then the so called CGI you guys complain about. If you actually watched the making of Avatar, which is on the collectors edition, you would see what was put into it and bow down. You honestly know nothing about the film industry.

  • sorry but when he said "this THIS IS OUR LAND!!!" i was half-expecting "THIS IS SPARTA!!!" just saying

  • this movie sucked ass! unobtanium?????? that gives away the entire film with the name what a fuckin movie.

  • the movie was exilirating and fun, it captured every esensce of nature and told us why the things we are doing is ruining our earth and why we have to take care of it.

  • ok it was kinda like dancing with wolves, ok a lot like it , but seriously HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • yeah, i didn't really like this film. it was blah. haha

  • Star Wars + Cowboys and Indians = Avatar.

  • The story want great, but DAMN. You just get lost in this film. I came out dizzy and with sore eyes because I never once took my eyes off the screen.

  • after i saw this movie i got this weird feeling that i wanna see the Pandora burn

  • The movie wasn't anything speical. The movie was ok. 3G doesn't make a movie its a story. This is probably one of the sencond worst movies on my list.

  • ....Oh I almost forgot the ground breaking 3D!!! And apparently so did James....as I remember it there wasn't a single fucking scene where anything ever jumped out at you. Anyway, not to hate on everyone, but if you like this movie you are tasteless idiot that only follows norm, and as it goes the norm usually sucks....isn't it sad what our world is coming to? Video games are becoming movies and movies are becoming, well, video games.

  • This movie will go down as the most overrated movie of all time...actually wait...overrated cannot describe how absolutely pathetic this movie is... the most unoriginal storyline ever, mediocre acting 'if any', the scenery was cool but the action was close to none, I've seen better story structure and action in video games for fuck sake! Go play uncharted 2 its a better movie than avatar. My summary of the movie,

    "2 and half hours of floating mountains and 20 minutes of lame action scenes."

  • This movie is epic 10/10

  • The machines in this movie remind me of the Halo games.

  • Grace, you forgot about The Abyss, a criminally under-rated sci-fi film.

  • @TheBoomViper I agree. Ater Aliens, Cameron's best movie in my opinion. Was just too clever.

  • Sad time when we rate movie only by the money it made... Thanks sheeps

  • this movie sucked

  • that boy at 2:09 is so cute

  • CGI killed cinematography.

  • @Marievska

    That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. I am not a fan of Avatar. I don't believe is deserved the hype that it received. But, I will be the first to say that it had phenomenal cinematopgraphy.

  • @PicturelessStories

    1- It was an overstatement.

    2- I said CGI, and not Avatar, killed cinematography. In my opinion (but not in everyone's), cinematography is the art of capturing moments in REAL LIFE that communicate emotions/ideas/ideals that the director wanted to convey. I'm aware that sceneries and costumes can also be fake, and that CGI does make wonderful eye-candy as well as realistic action scenes, but it kind of kills the point...

  • @Marievska

    Watch Spirited Away. You will see how a movie with absolutley nothing human in it can still capture human emotions. Hell, watch any of Miyazaki's films.

  • @PicturelessStories Yeah, I've seen it, as well as Princess Mononoke... masterpieces! :) I know I'm not making all that much sense, but for me animation is in a different category :/ (my thoughts being something like: at least it doesn't pretend to be real...)

  • @Marievska Uh, no, it just changed it. The same artists are now virtual cinematographers. Honestly, things change in life, get used to it.

  • @SolidSnake032486 When cinematographers rely more on CGI than on good actors or a solid plot to make a movie, then yes, I would say CGI killed cinematography.

  • @Marievska That is stupid, it's like saying that facebook killed relationships, it's still up to you (as a movie maker) It can be a poweful tool.

  • This movie is worth spending 10 bucks on, the plot is very oringinal, the acting is great and the special effects are the best of the best!! 10 out of 10!

  • 8-8.5

  • Nobody bothered to mention James Cameron's Piranha 2, what a classic! just kidding

  • that 20 made it 10

  • This greenscreen effect looks absolutely horrible ! There is a green border around her. LOL

  • @FatGermanBastard No, it's the greenscreen that's been reflected on her hair.

  • Avatar is a story with Romance Hatred passion comedy. Avatar is the full movie package and is a 10/10 for me

  • damn girrrrrl ur fine

  • I agree with others saying it's pocohantas in space which sucks cause it's not an original story and it's also based on dances with wolves amazing how he can take a film put a shit load of cgi in it and it gross the most money a film has ever made but it's not a bad movie they could have cut alot of scenes like when they bang in the forest of many neon plants :D

  • @MrDarthdude57 hey man the forest bang scene was hot XD

  • @MrDarthdude57 Did you know that they used months simply for the aliens butts to look real

  • this movie was AWESOME 10/10

  • i dont think people realize how hard this movie is to pull off

  • Better than Pocahontas.

  • being a star wars fan if i heard that guy say George lucus cant make anything better then avatar you would have seen a chair thrown.

  • @opp861 Man, Lucas has allready made plenty of movies better than Avatar..... I would help you so we could throw a table!

  • @opp861 I preferred it to that jar jar binks shite, I could swallow film and shit out a better movie than Lucas.

  • she must be good i only came here for one video and watched 3 as for avatar looked good but storyline not that good but it looked really nice effects

  • The people who didn't think this was a 10 were obviously too busy thinking of comparisons to other stories instead of watching the actual fucking film.

  • @Leonbrehonyfilm come on dont strong arm people into thinking its a 10 their just saying their thoughts on the movie.

  • @Leonbrehonyfilm Couldn't agree more. Same with people who thought it was long and boring. To me that was the fastest three hours ever.

  • lol that one guy gave it a 20

  • 7/10. Cliche dialog and storytelling, but wins you over with some emotional attachment and amazing CGI.

  • its pocahontas in space..

  • 847509832465763250473250872345­28p723475834275324875084327508­473250734250874038572347502347­508243750947325/ 10 I LOVE AVATAR . I KNOW MOST OF THE LINES OFF HEART !! :D

  • avatar sucked. the storyline was OMG THERE DESTROYING OUR FOREST!!! we need money... and three hours of NOTHING. District 9 was awesome, star trek was awesome star wars was awesome terminator was awesome, but titanic and avatar sucked. thumbs up if you agree.

  • @kanucks9 i agree!!

  • @kanucks9 how about a thumbs down

  • DISTRICT 9 IS BETTER idgaf what anyone thinks its had action and story. and u actually care about the characters. avatar ok 3d was awsome but i wassss sooooo boring.

  • as much as I liked avatar, I kept thinking to myself "James Cameron just took Ferngully and Pocahontas and threw them through a 3d blender". The CG was breathe taking though.

  • I thought Avatar was a bit too long, but overall a superb movie.

  • the special effects in this movie were mindblowing... otherwise it wasn't very good

  • 3/10

  • it wasnt that great, typical underdog movie with decent special affects. if anyone disagrees please tell me what the fuck was so good about this movie

  • @ISLAMAHOD481 i know.I found myself laughing whenever a tree fell and people started crying.The affects were what made the movie

  • it was hella epic :D

  • 10 out of 10 fricen best movie ever

  • 10 OUT OF 10 AMAZING AND COOL MOVIE :)

  • 34 people don't know what Sci-fi is.

  • cool, it's free at #CUTE Zero Cost Movies . com #OMG

  • Grace, love your t-shirt, where can i get one from?

  • This was a blight on the art of cinema. I felt no sympathy for the aliens in it. You all have been played by Cameron. The whole moon of Pandora felt so broken. Think about it, most of the creatures have a bluish color and those long vines that go into their brains, but the Na'vi are the only ones who lack the four limbs of all the other species. At least in District 9 the aliens held no resemblance to the humans making displays of emotion much more powerful.

  • @MiRyRE The movie also had some massive plot holes. For example, the Avatars are grown in these tanks in a sterile environment. This would cause them to suffer from tons of sickness and disease once they entered the environment. Also on the note of disease, the humans have been there for a while now. This means that just like when the Europeans arrived in the Americas and the Natives succumbed to an epidemic wiping many of them out, this is a completely different species, making them even-

  • @MiRyRE more susceptible to these new diseases. Why would the humans waste all of the resources and manpower of trying to move into the area near the end of the film when they could have, in Cameron's own words "pulled out and nuked the entire site from orbit." We never even know what unobtainium does. Perhaps it is a miracle cure able to fight any disease or virus. Now who is the villain?

  • avatar in my opinion this was the best film ever made

  • @TheScottG45 They see me trolling, they hating.

    In all reality though, you haven't seen many movies have you?

  • 10 out of 10

    Amazing movie.

  • it sucked in my opinion.

    d9 was better

  • This movie had a lot of heart which I really enjoyed.

  • i thought avatar had the dumbest story line, the effects rocked but i think james concentrated way to much to the effects. this movie remineded me of dances with wolves, same story but different effects. this movie reminded me of a videogame and i hated how every1 told me it was epic and i was so excited that i was disappointed. STUPID STORY AND EPIC EFFECTS THATS Y U DIDNT GET BEST PICTURE ON OSCARS!!!!!!!!!!

  • avatar is the best movie in world whose you ask me i´ll give 100

    in one-ten

  • i should punch that justin bieber kid in the nuts since he hasnt seen t2 all the way thru

  • wtf District 9 was the WORST movie ever!!!

  • @quinchonez i think you mispelled there, you mean BEST movie ever, i think its best picture nomination speaks for itself

  • @quinchonez

    You stupid fuck... you dont deserve to watch movies!

    

  • 2:07 OMG its justin bieber :D haha

  • @willsmithlovesme hahahah that was actually me

  • Good effects crappy story. 7.5

  • @badshot117

    By what means do you think it was a crappy story? Beneath the surface it's a lot more than just a love story with fighting.

    It's a lot like "Detonation" a song by Trivium.

    The movie tells about how the humans fucks up everything he get in touch with because he wanst it to make himself comfortable.

    Humans should have taken more example from the Na'vi race who live in harmony with nature, and have a paradise to live in.

    But no, the human is greedy and selfish. Which is wrong.

  • @noobpwner117

    thats what i meant i mean star wars 4 , you bet kick ass rules!! and 2012 sucked!! so did iron man 2 !!

  • @noobpwner117  whatabout starwars and pulp fiction? and kick ass??? (no but i see your point it was good! lol!! )

  • i dont know why but i love nityri how she cryes. its like a broken saxaphone!! kinda cute! its not the regular boo hoo its origional

  • good movie!! bad dialouge im not wussy or anything but it was (aside from the good navi launguage ) just cussing , it doesent deed to be said that the fx were amazing !!

  • 100000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000/10 o.o

  • @simonlomas smart ass

  • 10/10 stars

  • Vote up if you think Grace's shirt is funny =) (in the begging)

  • @stevenking088 not pants wettingly.

  • the story line is not the best but it is good and the effects was the best god damit! i watch this in imax and in the front seat wtf fcking awsome!!

  • Iligernt ur right u have to pay attention to attchely get what it's about

  • The reason why the beginning did not make sense is because he was saying something he repeats later in the movie. "It was like a dream. But you always have to wake up." Or something along those lines. It's an attention getter, to get you thinking and curious. Later it explains it.

  • I loved the movie ...I hate this review , its so...Hollywood style ...I can turn on the TV and get the same type of robot talk. To the reviewer , I'd like to see a more independent approach. Just food for thought.

  • 10/10 Freaking AWESOME movie!!!

  • 9/10

    The Intro didn't make sense but the rest did.

  • i love that shirt... :)

  • @Jamaicangurl81 the Sarcasm one i mean..

  • Ruining the movie industry. 5/10

  • me to 5/5

  • 10/10

  • One of the best movie experience's of my freaking life! 10/10

  • Avatar was cool..no two ways about it

  • Avatar gives a good message to alot of people.

    I loved it.

    It inspired em to become an astronaut one day.

    10xmillion

  • I'm going to be real frank and honest with Avatar. The bajillion dollar CGI is pretty cool but does not help with the lacking typical plot in the movie.

    For me, it was ok......

  • So there is still spinal paralysis in the 22nd century, and people fly billion dollar space craft to another world to try to steal a substance only worth 20 million a kilo?

    House Of Wax meets Pocahontas via Dumbo?

  • i give avatar a infinite/10

  • Here's my review:...... DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

  • 2:10 justin bieber?

  • intense. can't wait to see more.watch it at onlinehqmovies . c o m

  • ever heard of Pocahontas? Thats the hole story in Avatar.

  • funny to see people and 'their' opinions when they're taking them directly from marketing. 'it's changed the way I see movies'...dude...that's from a commercial. 'Dude, smurfs lol'...don't get your opinions from south park. 'lol michael bay sucks'...thanks for your two cents kid. Bay cares what you think. these interviews lack so much substance. 'it was great. I loved it.'....people....WHY? you speak english so speak it.
