^^^ Sorry Tarheel, but I'll have to agree with Reasonable about the points that he made. First off...you have to see the movies multiple times to be able to truly formulate an informed opinion on the film, so I don't think he was back tracking. The first time you see a movie like Avatar, you’re totally in awe of the lights, camera, action, or you’re focused on the script. The movie had A LOT of plot devices, and that detracts from the originality, creativity and brilliance of storytelling…it doesn’t mean the movie is bad, or deficient, it just means it could have been better. At two hours and forty minutes, shouldn’t have been that critically to do a stronger job of storytelling. Overall, the movie is truly a must see, imho, and probably a multiple must see for movie buffs, but it’s no greatest film ever…and I think that’s Reasonable’s point…it could have been, had the story telling been better. The cinematography is that great dude…it’s the best ever, imho. Had the story been better, I think this could have won best picture and best director.
