Is this the only complaint against Avatar?i have a whole laundry list of actual problems with TFA. So what if the premise of Avatar is similar to Pocahontas and Fern Gully, the way Avatar executed the story was unique. Star Wars TFA is basically ANH recycled. Nothing is completely original at this point. |
In my opinion, the movie is highly overated. It doesn't deserve to pass Avatar. At least Avatar did something groundbreaking with its engrossing world and incredible effects. This movie had a crap villain and pretty much recycled A New Hope. Not deserving of the records it's breaking.
Is this your only justification for Avatar's quality?
Avatar had forgettable characters (That no one I ask can remember the names of.), an "enrossing world" (That you noted was "recycled" from other movies.), a "crap villian" (NO ONE remembers what gruffy, soldier, 80's prototype, McDouchebag, No. 7,998,015's name was, especially since they can't remeber the heroes.), and "incredible effects" (AKA CG that Advent Children surpassed years before and 3D, and 3D is everywhere now.).
By your TFA standards, Avatar was a forgettable, gimmick-bolstered, digitally-behind-the-times, recycled story that can't even lean on it being part of a trilogy or drawing from its own universe.
Sorry, but I have to call a spade a spade.
