Do you think avatar movie is overhyped

[Sagebee]

To me it was an alright movie I think people give to much credit of being deeper than it really is.

Avatar was the first movie to made me fall asleep at the movie theater, it was so boring, so yeah to me is overhype but then again it keeps getting push back, I think Cameron knows it will get lost in the shuffle, nobody cares about this movie.

I don't think it's overhyped by anyone. In fact most people don't remember anything from it apart from its effects. Which is what made it the highest grossing movie. Back then 3D movies were still relatively new, and Avatar was a must see in 3D, but as a movie it's very forgettable.

 

[Guntah]

It looks amazing, but aside from that, it is massively overrated. I mean, it's basically Pocahontas in space, not the most original plot.

 

[The Great Second Hokage]

Yes, if the people weren't blue I think everyone would have forgotten the movie altogether.

It's Dances with Smurfs

I was real salty off the title alone because I was a the last airbender fanboy

But yeah it's dookie. cgi aside

 

[~Ethereal~]

Yeah, it was a yawn movie.

 

[Caliburn]

IMO yes it was severely overrated. To me this is the type of movie that many people feel like they should love out of pure moralism as it has both ethnic and cultural frictions as environmental/climate issues as underlying major themes, which are very relevant in our current society, and that you are obliged to praise this movie because of that. It's like the equivalent of liking things of FB. You don't actually do much, but you feel like you did something worthwhile rather than actively trying to change these problems.

You also then have that group of people that are all like "awh, cripple guy in an artificial body falls in love with alien princess, how romantic". Bleh. The movie often gets described as Pocahantas in space and that's exactly what it is.

In the end it's a subjective opinion and overall seen it can be described as a decent movie. But seriously it really doesn't deserve to be the highest grossing movie of all time. It was one of the few movies where I actually was rooting for the bad guys as the moralistic value of it was making me nauseous.

I only remember it being hyped due to its CGI use. I don't think it was advertised as a deep movie or anything.

 

[Our Lord Sasuke]

I was like it but yeah is overrated.
