Yeah right, Avatar was like the closest thing to a Final Fantasy world in cinema form. Even the love story was very FF-like. Bad acting??? You are REALLY trying hard to make this film look bad and I know you're hated on it because you hate the fact it is #1 for a movie YOU didn't think was too special. LOL. Remember, the world does not revolve around you. Avatar was spectacular and the emotional connection was deep. The two main leads had a very special and deep chemistry that I think resonated with the world like Jack and Rose from Titanic (in the international market at least for sure.) |
The 3D effects resonated worldwide. It also kinda came in a lull of blockbusters, before Disney got the Marvel engine really revved up and LOTR had been retired for a few years so it was a good empty window for Cameron to swoop in. Spider-Man was the big box office giant of the 2000s and it had fizzled with Spider-Man 3.
Jack and Rose's romance resonated worldwide sure. I don't think most people even name the two characters who were the male/female leads in Avatar any more, lol. Not without looking it up.
Like I said Avatar was to movies what the Wii was to video games. Incredible success at the time, but when the novelty fades off ...
