hamilton Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 That's funny - it's exactly what I thought when I wathced the movie. Pochahontas meets Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I don't think any fifteen or twenty minutes went by without me thinking, "Hey, this is a rip-off of [big movie here]." Takes that suspension-of-disbelief thing to the next level, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 James Cameron isn't exactly known for his originality. I mean, "Titanic" - poor boy loves rich girl? Who'da thunk it? His films always *look* amazing, but they are hardly original stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nibbler Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) I havent seen Avatar (yet), but there's not much new under the sun... Take the 2009 Tim Burton flick, 9 and James Cameron's 1984 release, Terminator for example. Now if you want to see a great movie with an original plot- try Sergio Leone's Duck You Sucker, otherwise known as A Fistful of Dynamite. Seek out the full unedited version, NOT the watered down one released in America. Edited January 11, 2010 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_rawk Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Now if you want to see a great movie with an original plot- try Sergio Leone's Duck You Sucker, otherwise known as A Fistful of Dynamite. Seek out the full unedited version, NOT the watered down one released in America. Great movie -- though I'm a total Leone whore. Reminds me that it might be time for another viewing ... it has been awhile. Haven't seen Avatar yet but when/if I do, I'd most certainly be going for the eye candy and the 'experience' more than the story. And this is me shaking a fist at Dinghy for reminding me of failblog.org. Somehow I'd managed to forget all about that particular addictive distraction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I got a few laughs reading this tongue-in-cheek review of Avatar! Really, Hollywood coming up with a non-original screenplay?? They've been doing it for years Avatar = Fern Gully! http://www.bigempire.com/filthy/avatar.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peipunk Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 People go to see the most expensive movie ever made for the plot???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 [color:purple]Nah, no need to SEE the movie. The script is all you need:http://www.foxscreenings.com/media/pdf/JamesCameronAVATAR.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
