James Cameron's next film is just going to be footage of him squealing with glee, naked, touching himself, in a pile of your hard earned money, on a greenscreen backdrop, in 3D, mocking you for spending so much cash to see his hokey movies. You'll love it and it will break all kinds of records and James Cameron will then buy the moon.

The most overrated movie of all time.

letterboxd sweetie I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry that this is your 100 millionth logged film...

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

maybe my young mind remembers this very vaguely but...it wasn't that groundbreaking, nor spectacular.

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avatar kept balance between the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless firebenders. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years have passed and the Fire Nation is nearing victory in the War. Two years ago, my father and the men of my tribe journeyed to the Earth Kingdom to help fight against the Fire Nation, leaving me and my brother to look after our tribe. Some people believe that the Avatar was never reborn into the Air Nomads, and that the cycle is broken. But I haven't lost hope. I still believe that somehow, the Avatar will return to save the world.

It's a kind of movie that you would only watch once may be twice, to be honest the first time I watched it I thought WOOOW but then I realised there are better.

I feel like I must've really tested this film by watching it on an airplane when I originally viewed it on IMAX. I still enjoyed it.

Really don't like this film. So so boring and tedious. Great visuals but that doesn't make it a good film.

Remember watching this with my schoolon a trip. Hated it then and hate it now. That will be shelved.

TRASH, and how many times does zoe saldana need to be painted a color

In all honesty, James Cameron could have Morris-danced in front of a mobile phone and it would still have become the most successful movie in film history. Avatar is by no means the best film Cameron ever made - it's not even in the Top 3 (it could possibly scrape into the Top 5). However, it does include some ground-breaking special effects and naturally enough has persuaded Cameron to work on a sequel; which, for him he is working on relatively quickly - it should be out just the eleven years after the original. In fact, Cameron is working on four sequels at once, which should be out one year after the other. x

Being a little too long for its own good can't hold Avatar back from telling a great story, even if it is one we've time and time again. It's not just the visual effects, Cameron and the crew really did earn their awards.

(PS never seen it in 3D either, so...)

Overrated.
