Regarding Spaceghost’s Review
Terrific review Ghost.
True. I mean, I still tell the people the same old: “Did I enjoy the movie? Yes. Will I look back on it 10 years from now with the nostalgic factor of movies like ‘Dark Knight’? No.”
I stand by my original assessment: “it’s likely to go down in history as little more than technical triumph.” Still, Hollywood loves a winner so much – especially one that includes America the Ugly politics – that JC might take home the Best Picture Oscar.
FWIW, the Best Picture of the year was clearly Up In The Air. Up is also deserving.
Man, the more I hear about Avatar, the less I like it. The hype is just ridiculous and its not as brilliant as most make it out to be. They’re practically treating Cameron like God and their treating the movie like the second coming of Christ.
What do you think, Wick?
Regarding SCDL’s Review
Eek, typo. I meant to write dizzy XD
Regarding SCDL’s Review
Haha “When I watched it in 3D it made me dizzt after awhile.” You could not have said it best.
Sigourney Weaver? She doesn’t even have good cigarette moves.
Regarding hurwizzle’s Review
IMO, the best performance in the movie was Sigourney Weaver. However, Worthington is an excellent young actor and I look forward to seeing more of his performances in the future.
Best actor was, without a doubt, Stephan Lang (as I said in my review). I don’t think Worthington was bad, I just don’t think he was anything overly special.
Regarding hurwizzle’s Review
Well it looks like we have a difference of opinion lol Solid review, Hurwizzle. However, I HIGHLY disagree on Sam Worthington, he was the best actor in the whole movie.
And again, someone rates it Good 3.5. I guess these Wikker Pikkers weren’t too blown away. I’m just glad that I’m not alone in my opinion on the film.
Given the hype, just good is a letdown. Notwithstanding me saying it measured up to its hype, the Trust Weighted Scores say your lead nails it. Don’t shrink from a good shot MJ.
Oh well I was just kidding of course. This movie wasn’t a letdown at all. It was just good, not great.
Regarding MetalJunky5000’s Review
Yep, but I think you came up with the best lead: “BIG MOVIE!!! BIG STARS!!! BIG DIRECTOR!!! BIG LETDOWN!!!” Nails it.
Man, we all gave it the same rating. Great minds truly think alike.
Regarding moviebuffman’s Review
Thanks for going first on Avatar mb-man. I was heading towards giving it 4 beams but didn’t feel right doing that. Then I revisited your review and saw 3.5, which seemed just right. A quick fine tune to my acting and film sliders, and all fell in line.
