Avatar, James Cameron's latest "masterpiece" includes blue aliens, guns, robo-suits nearly naked sexy tribal chicks, almost creepy but really kinda hot inter-species romance, and the most stunning movie CG you have ever seen to date. But does it live up to the massive hype? Does Jake Sully enjoy his time playing in the valley of uncanny? (that's a sex pun, obviously)...
@WiiDSguy "Talent" is needed to wave cash in the faces of decent SFX people who know going in that the cash is the only bucks they'll see from this tripe regardless of the boxoffice? And REALLY now, how "great" did the sfx have to be? Just great enough to BS "gamers", "anime", & "Pokémon" fanatics into believing this crap was ANYTHING other than what is was: a mockumentary cartoon hit piece w/ a political agenda. The bar was never very high in the 1st place. Talk about needing to "get out more".

@bohnstube Oh I'm well aware of all the underlying themes in the movie, but a couple of things: 1. It's a movie, for all the Homer Simpson's out there to look at and say 'ooh shiny' and pay big bucks to be entertained for a couple hours, it really isn't trying to be 'propaganda'. 2. Again, it's a MOVIE, don't take things so seriously, there's more to life. 3. It's quite obvious through your extreme ranting that you just don't like JamesCameron, and like it or not, he's a talented guy

@WiiDSguy *Yawn*. Nope, just restating the obvious intention of this "movie"(if that description's really going to be used to describe this ungodly bastardization of the term) to be nothing more than a REALLY "butthurt" idiotic propagandist's puke-fest from its very first line of "dialogue". Being conveniently & completely unaware of the context of this tripe because you never happened to catch even the very first line of this crapfest is no one's fault but your own.

@bohnstube Wow. Quite butthurt for a 2 year old movie aren't ya. Maybe you're reading a little too much into things and instead should wander outside for half an hour.

The movie was nothing more than a phony, transparent, most tired hackneyed screed against Bush administration policies. Ho-hum, & BFD. Yeah Cameron, hammer all the dumba** empty-headed FU*KS w/ your idiotic biases & political views, & wrap everything in a blue tint instead of a good script & somehow sell all 2 hrs & 42 min of it to stupid idiots who wouldn't recognize good writing & character development if that instead was the club & the back of their stupid heads just got whacked w/ it.

Agreed!
Avatar is a masterwork of visual art. But the script sucked throbbing chubby!

Vomit...yes exactly. Yeah, it's visually stunning, but it sucked so badly it hurt. Your review is spot on.
