Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad

[Murph]

To be fair, I enjoyed the Hellboy movies.  I kinda feel bad about that.

Also I finally realized what movies are exactly avatar.

Dune
Dances with Wolves
The Last Samurai
District 9

I'm gonna go ahead and say that I watched avatar and liked it, despite not wanting to. If you see it as a plot to a video game, it's decent.

Hmm... Battlezone 2! Yeah, I'm pretty sure it had a similar plot.

...Fern Gully?

Hey now I liked Furn gully. haha!

Hellboy 1 was very good, hellboy 2 sucked ass

[ArtfulShrapnel]

Yeah, this was basically Ferngully in space. That was my review on the way out of the theater. Bad guys bad, good guys good, space marine with a scar over one eye, etc.

There were two things that I actually liked about it. The first was the motivation behind the main character. The cripple getting to live vicariously through the machine. That he wasn't actually caring about the science or the war, he just was enjoying having legs again. Wish they had played with that more.

The other was actually the site foreman. The balding guy in a suit who was always talking about the bottom line. They did a good job of never making him a "bad guy". He wants to do his job, but he isn't bloodthirsty. There was a moment towards the middle of the film when they were about to start the massive "shoot the aliens" scene. He was suddenly questioning what was about to happen. He was "just the guy doing his job", and seemed to actually feel remorse about killing dozens of natives. I was kinda hoping we'd get a change of heart from him.

Unfortunately that suddenly disappeared a few moments later.

Actually, there are a few understated character beats in Avatar. The business guys is one of them. He has the look that things have gone too far when the attack happens, but doens't have some disney change of heart, he just shuts up and lets it keep happening.

Whne everyone leaves, you see his expression wanting to say something, but he either knows he won't be forgiven, or can't bring himself to admit his mistake, and moves on.

Similarly, the main guy doens't explicitly say he's lost in his new body, but his lack of personal grooming and even the fact he has to be told to eat sort of show how he lives in his avatar and is letting go of thinking about his normal body.

Dunno.  It seems like there were a lot of missed opportunities.  There could have been a lot of interesting sub plots, but there weren't.  Maybe the DVD will save this movie.

Wait.

He's losing SAN points the more he uses the damn machine!

I watched Avatar today and it was visually amazing, story was not lacking just generic. I watched it on Imax 3d and that is the way to go. like i said before I went there with low expectations and becuase of that I was blown away.

I felt bad for the tame dragon.  Jake's all like, "Nope, I got a big badass red one now, get lost, loser."
And the dragon says, "But, Jake, remember all the good times we had?  We spent like twenty minutes of screen time just flying around!  I heard you laugh with delight no fewer than sixteen times!"
And then Jake says, "Do you have head AND chin flaps?  No?  Fuck off!"

Oh wait, no, do you think he fed his first dragon to the second one?  You never see the blue-green one again, right?
