No. What I find most impressive is how when you adjust for inflation, many other films beat Avatar's box office gross. And it also has a cliched story. Seriously, I have no problem with criticism for the movie, but you're just using the lowest, most easy form of trolling, and I've come to expect more from you (since you've been around a long and you're very intelligent). |
Both the historical story and Disney’s adaptation of Pocahontas have a very similar story line as Avatar does, and one of the more dramatic differences between Disney’s adaptation and Avatar is that Disney avoids the "Super-Good vs. Baby-Eating Evil" approach to the conflict that James Cameron takes with Avatar. It is entirely acceptable to take a well known story and change the setting to make it relevant, and this has been done by countless writers in the past; but when you do it with more simplistic characters and conflict than a movie which has a primary target of young children you can’t say that it has added a lot of depth to the characters or the story. It is the simplified one-sided view of the conflict that James Cameron takes that makes all the characters such caricatures; its very difficult to make a character deep and interesting if they have to be perfectly good or perfectly evil to fill their role in the plot.
You might not like my view of the movie, but it is just as valid of a view as any other view.
