I honestly still don't get why Avatar is as big as it has been. I mean, yea it looked cool in 3D, yea it was cool how the movie was designed, but to me it was just a blue-man-group Apocalypto. I thought the story was kinda weak as well and some of the dialog was just lame. A good movie yes, a great movie no.

To me it just seemed like the Hurt Locker was a more enjoyable 2 and a half hours in comparison. To each his own I guess, I am with Ebert though (never thought I would say that )
