It's interesting to see how amateur film critics always pick the season's highlights to really show off how much they despise hollywood and its movies.
I don't know a lot about what makes great movies, and some of the world's top rated films did not impress me. But Avatar was, at least in my humble opinion, the greatest film I have watched in a long, long time.
Of course it features CG extravaganza, but it does not forget a decent story behind it all. I don't know why you say the "acting" was bad; there was not much acting going on anyways, but one thing I know is that it was not bad. Maybe you should re-watch your Stephen Seagal movies to refresh your memory of how bad acting really looks.
And as to "worst directed" ... care to explain that one? On second thought, don't, it wouldn't make sense because you only saw about a third of it.
The movie never let up, never rushed, was riveting from the first minute to the last.
As to unobtainium ... that was something I wanted to research. I suspect some kind of a marketing scheme by oakley. And I think it's funny. (In case you don't know, they use
unobtainium excessively
)
I can just roll my eyes at "critics" like you. I know a number of people who like to jump on every anti-something bandwaggon there is, and they behave just like you. I suggest you forget going to cinemas, you will be dissapointed no matter what you watch. Better wait for those DVDs of indie films, french films, even german films that only people watch who want to prove they don't appreciate anything coming from Hollywood.
Sorry for venting ... stuff like that just gets to me!
