^ Good point, but I'm afraid it might be too colorful for my liking,
In that regard I agree.

Taste has nothing to do with my comparaison.
If you don't like AVATAR well it's your problem.
Has everything to do with it.
I saw the previews and was disappointed. I saw the movie, and lo and behold, my early concerns were proved right -- the movie was a complete let-down. Saying "Don't worry, people complained about this other movie as well, and look how it turned out" fails if the example you use is of a film people didn't like.
Yep people hated it thats for sure...
The movie was a complete let down for YOU.
Probably because you were expecting a gritty hard R ALIENS redux and the movie was a family friendly pulp adventure scifi with an archetypal story. Pocahontas, dancing with wolves in Space, yeah sure that what the non literrate buch mostly said but me i tought more about John Carter and Lawrence of Arabia...
And even so it's not that original give this script to any other Hollywood hack and you get a really boring and probably poor visually movie. At least Cameron is a great storyteller, story and direction wise.
Whatever... You hate it.
Bad for you. Good for me.
To each his own.
Thats not the point i was making.
I've never said don't worry.
I said any project that has humongous expections is bound to disappoint, mostly those who have already a preconceived image of what the movie should be in their mind.
This is not your movie, whatever you want it to be, it's scott's you have to accept it as it is for now.
Then when you see it you can say "I" don"t like it and give your reasons.
Its what i call the KUBRICK effect, everybody expected his movies like they were the answer to life or the movies to end all movies. Then you see it and you're like "huh ok it's just a movie" then you start seeing it as it is and you like it or not.
