Interesting thoughts. I definitely prefered Sherlock Holmes to Avatar. Avatar was lacking in ambiguity and subtlety, which Holmes had. Anyway, great comments, lots to think about.

I’m a late adopter, as well as cheap. I probably see four movies a year on the big screen. Sounds like I’ll have to make this one of them. Thanks for the review.

It’s only in the very recent history of story-telling that it was seen as a bad thing to retell an old story – the Odyssey, Beowulf, Shakespeare’s plays are all old stories and familiar plots retold – so that the delight was two-fold, both the pleasure of the familiar and the surprise in the way of telling. I loved Avatar, too, and not despite the cliches but because it told a story that’s been told maybe as long as people have been telling stories, but told it whole-heartedly and in beautiful visual language.

I loved it even without 3D and I do hope I can see the 3D version eventually. It’s a visual masterpiece, and cliché or not, the Hero’s Journey is so archetypal that it always moves me on a very deep level.

I am usually really skeptical about “alien movies”, and i rarely fall in love with movies in general, i am a book nerd, but this was amazing! I saw it twice in 3D, and i ‘m going to buy it when it comes out; i hope it comes out in 3D! I know that a lot of people think that it was not terribly original, but i think that it puts a wonderful new perspective on a good story. i especially like how it ended; i needed him to stay Na’vi!

I loved it, too. So it’s “Dances With Wolves” on another planet, with 7-foot-tall blue people with tails. And the warfare at the end is a bit cartoonish. But I enjoyed it more than any movie I’ve seen in a long, long time.

I saw Avatar on Imax 3-D and was amazed by the special effects. When my husband and I can get another babysitter.

It’s rare in this day and time to find a movie (or book) that sticks with you. This movie creates dialogue (good or bad). My husband and I saw it two weeks ago and we both still are talking about it.

That’s the magic of this movie, the fact that the story–although cliche–it brilliantly and beautifully told.

I loved it in both 2D and 3D because Mr. Cameron can tell a story. Yes, all of the “gripes” above have merit, but the STORY as well as the wonderful world is what made those minutes fly by. I, too, cared about the characters and what happened to them. Well worth the ride.
