  • Avatar is over rated

  • @BritishGamingNews Agreed. And I find it sad when James Cameron himself said that Avatar is his best film so far. Um, no. Terminator 2: Judgement Day is his best film so far. It's sad when a guy who makes amazing movies thinks one of his weaker films is better then his best film.

  • movie was a retelling of Pocahontas and sam worthington still sucked. sigourney weaver played the same thing she always does... and sucked. Galaxy Quest was great tho.

  • Is it just me or does Jeremy's voice sound way different in these earlier reviews?

  • so the story of dances with wolves is stolen and diguised as a sci-fi epic with ten foot tall smurfs, then nominated for best picture. Apparently stories are only there to give James Cameron an excuse to rape my eyes with CGI.

  • it was good but it couldnt beat dark knight........

  • this movie bored me

  • Great special effects, shitty movie!

  • Hehe, who else came here after the review of 'Man on a Ledge' by Jeremy to see how he felt about Sam Worthington after Avatar and how he feels now:P

  • @CrimsonJax88 Me! lol

  • @StrikerANDShade Hahaha, good to know I'm not the only one, I like him going from: 'Sam Worthington, I like him, I hope he sticks around' --> to: 'Shut up Sam Worthington!'

  • @CrimsonJax88 Jeremy is the man!

  • @CrimsonJax88 ditto! lol

  • @CrimsonJax88 can't believe he said he hopes he sticks around.

  • very bad movie. i am one of them people that when they start a movie they dont move or speak a word untill the end cridits. avatar on the other hand i got so bored that i went out of the cinima and went to asda to get something to drink then to greggs for something to eat. went back and just got mopre dissapointment from it. first time i hjave ever walked out of a movie what a pile of dogshit

  • I am not going to lie, this was the first movie I watched in 3D ever. I was blown away! Never expected it! This is the best movie in 3D I have seen so far, oh, and How to train your dragon. nothing after that has beaten this movies as far as 3D is concerned, and in my opinion. Resident Evil Afterlife trails close behind though. The message in Avatar, is crazy. Being in the military, I understood all of it had to do with the current events going on. I loved it.

  • @tylermcfar agreed. I'm not going to complain about it because I'll just sound like everyone else who hated this movie, so I'll just say I hated it

  • honestly i thought avatar sucked so fucking much dick

  • I must say i didnt bother watching the movie untill now 2012, and boy did i miss something awesome :P

  • I disagree with everything this reviewer said.

  • Hate it where they detroy there tree. Where they shoot the helicopters with bows then they just get missiled to shit. Tis sad

  • this movie sucked.

  • Avatar is a masterpiece, there's not a thing that i can complain about.

  • More shitty than Transformer 3.

  • Avatar is not dances with wolves...it's pocahontas. I actually like pocahontas more that avatar.

  • @TheNapoleonnerd ummmmmm... ya... It's more dances with wolves than pocahontas.

  • I liked it. Goodbye.

  • Avatar is really good visually but the story is EXACTLY like Pocahontas. exactly.

  • Lol, I was hoping the humans would win, the aliens were just boring. Also, tons of humans just being killed on screen and we're supposed to just not care.

  • @Cowlick0035 I didn't care about the humans! oups.

  • masterpiece? , has the man never seen Aliens or Terminator 2 Judgement two other films from James Cameron in my opinion way better than Avatar .

  • everyone says it's "dances with wolves" or "pocahontas" with blue people, but thats only because those films came out first! avatar, in my opinion, is actually told better than most of those other films, everyone else is just nitpiky

  • its a live action adaptation of pocahontas -__-

  • Avatar, good movie. but it has flat charecters. good storie, thou the hole end kinda sucks. my hope is that in seaqule the humans come back and kill all those xenophobic blue cats.

  • I hate how everyone hates Avatar, and yet everyone acts like they're going-against-the-grain, maverick movie-goer who rises above the bleating flock of their cinema peers for loving it.

    Since maybe about a month after this movie (which I don't dislike) came out, EVERYBODY says it's terrible. Which is strange, cause it isn't a bad movie. Unoriginal? Well there's only so many plots out there. Underdeveloped characters? Yeah, the humans sucked, but the Pandora culture as done really well.

  • Pocahontas??? lol

  • IMO most overhyped movie of the decade

  • This movie really was not that original, and it's probably the most overhyped film I've experienced in my 17 years of life. People might argue that Inception is the most overhyped movie ever, but at least Inception had an original concept, great acting, AND great visual effects. Avatar had only one of those things...

  • but this movie was shit

  • Comment removed

  • people hate on this just because its popular, F#%king hipsters

  • OH! OH!OH! when this movie first came out and i said it was shit, everybody called me an idiot and even a phsyco. i was a creature from another planet because i didn't like avatar. i know people who went and saw this movie multiple times in theater and it broke all kinds of records because of it, but i knew from the begining how over rated the graphics were and how stupid and recycled the story was. but now its yestardays news people see it for what it is. not so phsyco now huh?!?! WAAHAHHAAAHAH

  • @theapocilip dude i hear you, i thought the story was quite shit, i do admit special effects were OK but nobody would listen

  • I just didn't like this movie. I kept thinking Pocahontas with blue Native Americans. And I couldn't get used to the concept of them fighting for a tree. The special effects were amazing, but to me, I just couldn't get into the plot/acting. Love you though Jeremy.

  • smurfs on roids.

  • yeah its pokahontas in space but its a nice movie, any movie that gets hyped you just have to tell yourself, probably its gonna suck like all movies that get hyped and when it doesnt suck, you like it^^

  • ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!?!??!? The phrase "Avatar sucks" does not even begin to cover the casum-ish black hole, of terrible screen writing and awful storyline! I expected an oscar movie, not Pocahontas in space! You finally gave a misleading review.

  • @TheTrojantroy By looking at what you put on your youtube channel, you have some very shitty taste in movies my friend. And shitty does not even begin to cover it.

  • am i the only person who was pissed that the navi won? I thought it would be awesome if the spaceship just nuked their planet after their victory.

  • @jesusxluvzxu then i guess you better find a box of kittens and a cliff

  • I didn't like this movie before it was "cool". And my sister, who I trust knows what movies I like, recommended it to me. I got hyped. I was like "COOL, Now I want to see it.". Went into the theatre with an open mind. I loved the effects and everything. Then... the story happened. It felt like Pocahontas with sex and I couldn't get invested. I tried and tried, but nope.

    I don't like the movie.

  • Y this get hate?

  • I dont think Avatar is a masterpiece. It has great visuals...I´ll give u that

  • I loved how when Avatar came out, it was like the best movie ever. since it became 'cool' to hate avatar on the internet, everybodies started it. look at the movie for what it is, it aint story driven and isn't particularly made to be realistic, but what movie is? seriously? its a movie based on pokahontas, brought to sci-fi, made by james cameron, and exceedingly epic... what isnt to like? oh yea, the fact that nearly everybody becomes a hipster that follows the crowd at some stage. -_-

  • i must be really jaded then. I fell asleep 30 min in to watching it

  • The movie isnt the best out there, but I still liked it.I thought the story was pretty interesting

  • @Craizormon

    you'd like Pocahontas and Dancing with Wolves too

  • jermey why isnt this in worst movies because i thought avatar was the last airbender. also blue people r u serious wow!!! plus fuck the navi

  • Avatar sucked

  • This movie sucked ass, I can't believe Jeremy liked it. Holy fuck this movie fucking sucked. I came here to hear him bash it, but he fell for it.... sad.

  • @20yrsofgreatness

    Yea I agree, honestly it was a futuristic version of pocahontas, infact, its a movie about a human, betraying his entire race for blue alien ass.... Seriously, I was hoping and even rooting for the humans to just wipe out the entire Navi race. Also the story and characters are not original, In fact, JC stole the ideas from two animes; Macross and Vandread and put them together, dont believe me, watch both animes and you'll see what im talking about...

  • his voice sounds weird here

  • I think i have seen this movie before. Didn't Disney make it! I HAVE IT ON VHS! I should probably turn the blue tint on my tv now to watch it normaly.

  • I LOVED this film, however i will say storyline is really cliché

  • Sure are a lot of hipsters in the comments section.

  • I hated Avatar... I'm glad The Hurt Locker beat it... Much better movie

  • It wasn't THAT good. I never got teary eyed, or felt a strong emotional connection to the characters.

  • This film got Nominated for Best Picture and The Dark Knight didn't. The Hell?

  • @MrJaffa2015 thats awards ceremonies for you, the bigger the budget the better the movie, apparently

  • @MrJaffa2015 The Dark Knight and Avatar were in different years... And what the fuck is the conection between the two of them? They didn't even have the same director. Cameron=Nolan for you?

  • @MrJaffa2015 Because Avatar is better than the Dark Knight. See?

  • @lavoie84qc Conan the Destroyer is the Greatest Movie in the History of Man.

  • Brilliant film, a nice tribute to films like Star Wars, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in The Sky, Princess Mononoke, Man Called Horse, Heavy Metal (Magazine and animated film), LightYears (aka Gandahar) and Dune. Who else thought Neytiri is the foxiest catgirl in animation?

  • i saw it shrooms :DD

  • ....but....was...it...AWESOMET­ACULAR!!?

  • @ignominni movie ratings was made in 2011.

  • When I watch this movie I really want to live in pandora and be jake sully, especially when the flying things come in :)

  • It's my second fav James Cameron movie. The first is and always will be: Aliens.

  • In defense of Avatar, I have to say this:

    it was basically like Ferngully, only better.

  • Avatar plagiarizes Pocahontas. It's as if James Cameron just scribbled out the names of characters and places and replaced them with a sci-fi genre. It only was so amazing because of the technology it used, which was fascinating. But that's the only reason I liked it.

  • I guess I should go throw a box of kittens off a cliff.

  • Avatar was unoriginal, long, racist, and BORING. I wanted to kill myself, I hate this movie. So bad.

  • @TheFlyingMonkey28 dumb ass

  • Yet another praise of Avatar...ugh. It was so unoriginal to me. Yes, the special effects was great, but the story line was generic, the acting mediocre. I just thought it was incredibly overrated. 

  • @stephanieLDSgirl the storyline of starwars wasn't completely original either, but that doesn't make it bad. (if you want to know what I mean, check out the similarities between the Star wars empire and the Roman Republic of the 18th century)

  • I did go and see Avatar and was unimpressed. I knew how the movie would play out 15 mins into it!! Terminator 2 will always be Cameron's masterpiece.

  • review human centipede

  • Did anybody actually watch the movie?

  • Jeremy, i general agree with all your reviews, id be interest to see what you think of the film now its on blue ray and you can look at it without the draw dropping cinema 3d experience, do you still feel it is James Carmon masterpiece!!! not "aliens' ( my favorite) are terminator 1 or 2?

  • I agree with 2:20 :)

  • i fucking loved this movie yet their is so much hate

  • Jeremy this review of Avatar is kinda uncharacteristic for you. While I get the 'format' of your short reviews, in this one you've ventured into evaluating aspects of this movie you normally don't - and turned out pretty shallow. I am not saying you should (or could) reach the awesomeness of Mr. Plinket's Avatar review, but if you stick to what you're best at - short review which tells me if I should bother watching a movie - you'll always have a faithful audience. Myself included.

  • The movie was overrated!

  • I think the only good things about Avatar is the Superduperawesome epiphany of CGI and the awesome soundtracks, but that's it. My reasons are:

    1º IT'S POCAHONTAS.

    2º They are fighting over a tree *facepalm*.

    3º You got a whole planet, can't you just move to another place?

    4º *This one is a personal one* I think many of the machines reminds me of HALO.

    5º I don't think the acting was good.

    6º Total lack of humor in the movie.

  • @TheArases 1: many famous movies aren't entirely original. 2: The tree is sacred to them. Taking down that tree would be like the Navi 9/11. 3: The tree was the main point because it was the largest collection of unugdskjheatanium. 4: If it's personal, that can't really count as a legit reason. 5: You may be a bit right, but that's only in certain parts. Sam Worthington isn't exactly famous for showing emotion. 6: Star Wars didn't have that much comedy either. does that make it bad?

  • this is one of the few of your reviews where I thought...no, I mean I know you have your opinion but my response to it is no, just no, not at all, partially or entirely wrong on all accounts except for the special effects and michelle rodriguez

  • avatar has great special effects but the story line wasn't the best i've ever seen. i must be a prick, because i didn't knot up AT ALL. some people can get emotionally invested in movies, and others can't. i personally can't.

  • Only thing i hated was the douche general. To stereotypical prick army sergeant kinda thing

  • @theAYLEEYUN *Colonel

  • Wow, this was a horrible review. Calm down, you sound like your gonna cry.

  • This would be a better movie if it wasn't cliched

  • this is my favrit movie my favrit director directed my fav movie this proves this is awsome

  • what's worth fighting for

    what's worth dying for

    I see what you did there (GREEN DAY)

  • Good acting, GREAT graphics, decent story, 3D didn't do much, not bad as a whole but in NO WAY did it deserve to make 2.7 billion in the box office. It was all hype that got it as much, there are much better films out there compared to this. Overhyped and therefore made James Cameron a shitload of money on something that was okay.

  • I wonder if they're gunna ruin it with 2 and 3 (2014&2015)

  • stop saying this movie sucked people it was badass. NO it wasn't the greatest movie of all time but you HAVE TO ADMIT it was pretty goddamn brilliant. Especially with half the crap that'scame out recently*cough THE LAST AIRBENDER cough*

    I have to admit it was ALOT ALOT ALOT better in 3-d imax cause of the epic factor, but CGI aside, it still had a good story? Was it like pocohontas? yes but they rehashed those stories cause its a GOOD STORY? conflict romance violence betrayal? WHATS NOT 2 LOVE?

  • @unholyfarter It was shitty.

    People liked it because it had so many special effects.

  • One of the best films around, If not watched In 3D you have missed out, when the ships were taking off the dust and leaves flying at the screen I was bloody blinking lol.

  • Avatar = Pocahontas in space

  • i rate this movie 9/10

    1 less for the chick dying at the end

  • Wasn't that good to much hype

  • Why do peopel love it so much? I felt nothing for the Na'Vi and never realised why the hell it got to where it got considering the mission that guy was sent to. Sure the effects were really good but the acting, storry and emotional investement was abyssmal IMHO

  • Was I the only one that cheered when they bombed the big tree?

  • I hate this movie.

    Come at me bro's

  • it's pocohontas all over again :/

  • So.... Who's seen Pocahontas?

  • "James Cameron masterpiece by far" ?? LOL This movie was pretty bad.. And defenitly the worst movie Cameron has made yet. That's untill avatar 2 comes out.. 5/10 imo

  • @MoviezGames

    "imo"

    Exactly, you have your opinion and he has his opinion.

  • @CynicalVision Umm, a review should be based on facts, not opinions.

    So if a reviewer says: "I hate Avatar because I don't like SF-movies, this movie sucks", is this a fair review ? I don't think so. Same here, he loved Avatar but he kinda overrated it, that's not a fair review. He should have mentioned things like unoriginal plot, you know, stuff like that.. But I'm not blaiming him for having an opinion though and if he loves it, that's cool to me.

  • @MoviezGames

    yeah reviewers shouldnt judge a movie based on the genre. but if reviews were facts, the reviews would all be the same.

  • @checkeredflag90210 Isn't that the point ? Don't get me wrong, I love Jeremy's vids but I don't think they're really proffesional. Which is completely fine cause that's what I like about his reviews but I think he kinda overrated this..

  • @MoviezGames

    i agree that everyone has an opinion but i loved the movie just as much as he did. i thought it was visually stunning, the characters were great, the action was awesome and i enjoyed it. Im just saying that fact isnt part of a review. thats the point. the point is to state and opinion, which cant be proven and is different.

  • I wasn't impressed with avatar, I might of been to hype but it just didn't exceed expectations.

  • Good movie but i enjoy Princess Mononoke more, all most the same plot.

  • I was in love with her at the end

  • Comment removed

  • This film was average. No story (or no interesting story). It's just a bunch of pretty scenes, and that's it.

  • @SlaveExplosion I tend to agree. It was so manipulative I was shocked - but I shouldn't have been. After all, I saw Titanic, which featured such cheap laughs and character development as, "Picasso... he'll never go anywhere." (see, you know he's a bad guy because he doesn't have the foresight to see that Picasso will be famous!) This movie had the same problem; the blue people were too perfect and the mining people were too evil. and the glowing stuff got corny.

  • @CreativeJamieCOM yeah I've never really liked James Cameron's fims, he's like a better Michael Bay. Aliens was a good film, but the actors just made the shoddy script work, in Avatar, there's just no soul in this film at all. The actors were fine, but nothing can make up for a boring story and I literally burst out laughing when they said it was called "unobtainium".

    What were they thinking..?

  • @SlaveExplosion you said it all.

    What were they thinking? Money!

  • I probably watched that movie about 7 times when it first came out. Pretty much agree with you, though there were some dialogue that was kinda lame. The story has been already done many times before yes but this movie managed to capture you in a different and deeper level, which made me happy.

  • loved the movie but for the budget the cgi is to be questioned.

  • hey all 282 catholics put a dislike to this video

  • @BrontoSmilodon1 the movie is fail...just good effects...the story is already seen and lame.

  • @DaneLostMKD well when I saw this movie I was going into thinking that it was going suck but as it went I got interested with it and basically every movie from the late 1990's to this date has that "story has already been told ya jackass" syndrome and tweeks a little bit but I feel it worked for this movie and Inception (which is a good if not better version of Matrix)

  • I liked Avatar when I first watched it, but when I took a retrospective look at it I realised that it was Spess Pocahontas Vs the Imperial Guard in their Metal Bawkses.

  • *facepalms* This movie was made up in the 90's they just started actually working on it this decade. So technically it's not AS unoriginal as everyone says. Unoriginal yes but it is not an all out clone.

  • m-m-m-manipulative..tive..tive­..ive.

  • Movie is good and i'm not gonna jump on the band wagon and say "I don't like it cos a lot of people like it" i'm just not like that. The CGI was great something most films lack when they use it. The story though unoriginal was done very well(and this story has been done many times just like a whole lot of others so stop your bitching)it's all about how you execute it. The acting was good. It is a good film and saying it is bad because it is popular is called being a douche.

  • This movie was boring, one hour could just be taken off and the movie would be better, the only thing it was going its it visuals but after a while i didn´t i just got realy boered and in the end i just think its overhiped

  • Oh my god when i first saw this i felt the EXACT same way! At the very end, I was bawling, and after the movie, my dad asked why i was crying, and it was because it was OVER!

    =D

  • I personally have no probleme with a recycled story. I've seen recycled stories so many times that I don't care anymore, as long as they are done well. and this movie, done well is an understatement

  • I'm the most jaded prick on the face of the planet

  • I am the most Jaded prick on the face of the planet!

  • james cameron should have directed the star wars prequels.

  • The colonel was awesome.....

    WHATS WRONG MCFLY.... CHICKEN ???

  • This movie is o-mazing and I highly agree with you

  • I agree so much. Love you Jeremy!!

  • I got three complaints: Its unoriginal (some examples are pochahuntus, dances with the wolves) its acting is not that great, its not even in my top 100 of all time so that is like a bad thing. people are saying this is the greatest film of all time. watch these which are 1 billion times as good. The Departed, the Usual Suspects, The Shawshank Redemption, Pulp fiction, Saving private Ryan, Goodfellas, the godfather. Please go see these films, they r so much better than avatar

  • @ALSFLAVOUR your're my hero lol!

  • @ALSFLAVOUR apocalyptio is better than them all expect goodfellas

  • @ALSFLAVOUR

    Look up a book named 'Call Me Joe', Written in 1957 by Poul Anderson. Trust me, just read the description of the book and get back to me after that.

  • @CheeksAndNuts im astonded that i have heard of this, i was reading through it and what really was the punsh to the face was when it said (reading from wikipiedia) It focuses on the feelings of the disabled man who operates the artificial body. thanks for bringing this to me

  • @ALSFLAVOUR iv got to totally agree with you :) i thought avatar was mediocre and quite generic and unoriginal, you can pretty much see everything that's going to happen the moment he goes off to Pandora.

  • @ALSFLAVOUR it was twice as more emotional than dances with the wolves and pochahuntus and far more better the acting was solid obviously not the best but enough to make it a good movie and no this is not the best movie in the world but in 2009 what movie was actually good?...every single movie u mentioned were movies made before 2006...name a movie better than avatar that was made after 2006...on top of that it took cgi to the next lvl and made regular animations look like a bitch

  • @VvFrostyvV i thought district 9 was almost on avatars level.

  • @JMort95 yeah...theres also a good handfull who think twilight is better than titanic too...but hey u got those kinda ppl too...not saying district 9 is as low as twilight the movie was really good

  • @VvFrostyvV faggot

  • @JMort95 thats right insult me as much as u can....cuz u kno u jus got pwned =P....not saying u wont reply with something "better" next comment

  • @VvFrostyvV u are a fucking gaming no life nerd. go jack off to anime, fuckin pussayyyy

  • @JMort95 hmmmm...gaming no life nerd....i do like gaming its just that most the time i dont have time since i do have boot camp....jack off to anime....ehh hentai is nasty most the time i watch big boobs or i just go to twistys.com and anime is not that half bad once u watch it....fuckin pussayyyy....thats good for u glad u actually got some pussy

  • i would like to see you write a multi million dollar film @ALSFLAVOUR

  • @dancegeanie i would like to see you come up with something new and original not just ripp off someone elses idea's

  • Last time I could say that? Pocahontas.

  • I agree with everything you just said.

  • I still haven't seen Avatar in 3D and it's one of my favourite movies of all time.

  • Wait for a minute I thought you were being cynic... But you are serious? I mean, I saw Avatar too, and for the exception of the special effects, there was NOTHING spectacular or original about it. It's just like someone said, Pocahontas in space. The bad guy is extremely cliché (at least that provided me with a LOT of laughter), Jake Sully is just as ignorant and annoying as any shonen manga hero and his love story is highly predictable, just like the rest of the movie. I rolled my eyes a lot.

  • sorry but this is your worst review
