Bad plot and dialogue and meh acting. There's nothing outstanding about it. I can't deny it's beautiful, yeah, but it fails on everything else. 

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 ...

 

I see why you MAY think that but I strongly disagree. I think the novelty wore off for "some" people, sure, but not the majority. I'll even go further to say that perhaps the novelty wore off moreso in the US because they have such a hate on anything "green" lol. I cannot wait until Avatar 2 comes out so that you are proven wrong. In fact, I'm counting the days and I so badly hope it blows everyone away.
