Bizzare indeed.

Proof that all you need is Marketing, Special Effects and blow a ton of things up and people will flock to see it.

As far as a plot and acting, Avatar isn't in The Dark Knight's league.

None of the actors in Avatar will win an Oscar.

Saw it today... very stylish but over rated...

It's basically "Dances With Wolves" using CGI... seriously...

Don't get me wrong, it was good, just not one of the greats of all times...

I don't think anyone is claiming it was one of the all time greats, it's a good movie with all time great special effects. I don't think I would have enjoyed it nearly as much if not for the 3D and the great effects.

Dark Knight has its flaws as well. The Joker and Two Face makes Batman seem comical in that movie because they are so earthy and real while Batman is a dude running around in a plastic suit using a fake voice.

Yeah, Christian Bale as Batman was a quality job. Every single actor in Avatar was 2x better than Bale's acting job as Batman in TDK. :rolleyes:

He was far and away the WORST Batman I've ever seen. He wasn't just bad. He straight up sucked. When he would talk in his "low" voice, I wanted to reach into the screen and physically choke him.

That's part of my point. I don't even think he was that bad. It's just ridiculous that Two face has bones in his face showing and scars, Joker is slamming peoples heads into pencils and explaining some twisted story for the scars on his face, and then you have Batman on a yacht and plodding around in a rubber suit. He was set up to fail.

I thought Bale was better in the first movie, basically until he put the costume on.

Avatar was the 3 Star Wars Prequels with just better Special Effects.

No interesting characters and an extremely medicore plot.

The Dark Knight was extremely entertaining and Heath Ledger did the unthinkable and played the Joker better then Jack Nicholson did.

But hey, Avatar can help solve vision problems :rolleyes:

IMO, Avatar is a better movie than TDK. While I thought TDK was good, I thought 90% of it's overblown hype was the fact that Heath Ledger had died.
You really couldn't be more wrong.

it is already the 2nd highest of all time, may beat the Titanic.


On the Dark Knight: I actually was bored by that movie. Not trying to insult anyone.

Opinions aren't wrong, they're just different. I just didn't find TDK as good as everyone else seem to think it was. Of course, I thought Iron Man sucked *** and some how it was this *big movie* too. /shrug

You're going to put someone on ignore because they disagree with you about a movie? :laugh2:

No. To assume is always a mistake. You should take more care in NOT doing that. :)

So when this movie goes to DVD, will it come with a pair of 3-D glasses? Or can you only get that effect in a conventional theater?

There will be a "regular" Blu-Ray and then Cameron will come out with a 3-D edition once the 3-D players and TV's become available this year.

Hmm, there's no reason not to have the 3D for the initial release. Especially if it's 6 months down the line as there will be TVs/players available. Also, since it's required that the movie play in 2D as well, nobody could complain about not being able to watch it because they don't have the right equipment.

The 3D wasn't that great anyway. It was barely better than the 2D experience, and too many times things just didn't look right because of it (usually whenever there were any particles or something small floating around).

Apparently, however, they're ignore-worthy offenses.

This is the BS that public schools feed children to make themselves feel warm and fuzzy. We're all special. All opinions are valued.

Bull. ****. Some opinions are patently stupid. And your opinion in this regard fits the bill.
