Don't even get me started on the mess that was Hurt Locker.
That movie had so many things going for it (intensity, the themes of being an adreneline junkie, the effects of high stress from war etc) but it was just SO badly done and the acting and story were completely awful.
There were some scenes that honestly made me cringe they were so stupid and badly acted.
Minor Spoiler
When they found the kid I said quite sarcastically "I bet the kid IS the bomb". Man did we laugh when it turned out that the kid was the bomb. Not a good laugh either.
Avatar was by no means the next Godfather but it really is comparable to The Godfather if Hurt Locker is the comparison. Avatar had a better plot and acting than Hurt Locker. The only thing HL had going for it was that the themes, intensity and premise were good, I'm not sure HL even had any discernible plot. Jarhead with Jake Gyllenhall was 10x the movie that Hurt Locker was.

It was a visual achievement but it failed in every other regard. In fact I would have probably walked out of it if not for the fact I was seeing it with someone else.
Awful movie.

I'd be interested to see what you think is a good film then. Transformers? The Hurt Locker? Nothing ever?
