Think about it-- kids these days need a MODERN movie that appeals to them in order to pass along all of those "moral, culturally implicit and socially obvious messages." I remember watching movies with all that "crap" when I was a kid and loving them-- they helped shape my views on the world when I was young. So, #2...that's exactly why this SHOULD be "family friendly" and that's also a reason as to why this movie SHOULD be so visually stimulating!! With so many messages, the movie NEEDS to appeal to kids growing up right now. Hell, they wont be nearly as interested in older movies just on the premis that their graphics suck!! Kids now have a totally different standard for how good special effects ought to be. #3. This is also a reason as to why the movie SHOULD be simple. When you are delivering a powerful message, it needs to be UNDERSTOOD AND APPRECIATED BY THE MASSES. This includes kids and even adults who might not be the "brightest"... So, I commend James for making an entertaining modern day movie that repeats the same messages found in dances with wolves, etc....it appeals to the masses, which is the most important factor when making a movie with so many important messages. These messages are important to pass down to future generations AND its always important to keep these messages fresh in our minds, so a little repeat can always do some good. Besides, look at what we're facing in this modern day: this past presidential election emphasized racial differences rather than erradicating them, etc. That was, of course, only one example...but a profound one. Anyway, I'm just saying that the issues depicted in the movie are issues present in our current lives. So, the messages in the movie are NEEDED and people aren't going to just start flocking to blockbuster to rent Dances Wit Wolves any time soon, so we need a modern day film to pass along the message that appeals to the masses.

I saw the first 70 minutes of this movie and walked out and got my money back. Don't let this movie separate you from your money. As a story it just plain SUCKS. The writing SUCKS. The acting is canned, stereotypical and shallow. James Cameron is a douchebag. AVATAR BLOWS!!

I found this article searching the internet cos i had a feeling that im losing my mind, apparently 95% of people like it! I have never seen such a bad movie with this kind of critical acclaim! That is horrifying... There's nothing new in this film, nothing we haven saw before!!! Even that connecting with animals with there tail is from some japanese move from 80's as my SF-fan firend told me... Avatar sucks big time!!!

The more people talk about how great it is, the less I want to see it. That's exactly it. Thank you for finding the words I was searching for! And it seems to have brought out the wackos in droves, so let's give a round of applause to James Cameron for that. You are spot-on about Cameron promoting his own movies before everybody else. I thought this movie was out months and months before the release just because people wouldn't stop talking about it. Plus now everybody who sees this movie automatically thinks they know film. Man, it's sad. Haha tragic really, and painfully hilarious. Anyway, thank you for the article, awesome job. Man I’m so glad I’m not the only one who feels that way about this movie.

Story is... Well... Shit forget the story the sound and vision was awesome. However, I'm sure that waiting for the blu-Ray 3-D version release will suffice. No kids (yes morons took their kids) and no alcoholic breathing on you, plus you can skip through the sappy shit (only about 30mins or 1/6th of the movie). Saw Avatar, 3-D is stunning.
