Just for kicks I started reading this thread from page 1.
For some reason I only read the posts that say Avatar is trash and now my blood pressure has certainly spiked.
I generally consider myself somewhat of a movie snob (I loved There Will Be Blood) and hate most big blockbusters like Transformers and such. My dvd collection is somewhere around 300 movies and I generally love cinema.
To hear people say Avatar was bad just blows my mind. Ok maybe some people don't like CGI movies or whatever but Avatar wasn't a bad movie at all. Hell even Roger Ebert loved it.
Just as I feel that people who think Live Free Die Hard or Transformers etc were great movies are total morons (at least in terms of movies) I equally find people who thought Avatar was crap to be intolerable.
Thinking it was mediocre is one thing. Thinking it was bad is just stupid IMO.
I'm probably gonna watch it on bluray tonight and even though it won't be as spectacular as it was in the theatre I see no reason why I won't enjoy it without the 3D.
