You are the first I have heard say this. Massive disappointment seems to be the theme I have been seeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive disappointment seems to be the theme I have been seeing Probably the difference between shelling out at the theater or seeing is at home for almost nothing. I have yet to see it because the fan reception was so bad, but I'm a fan of the franchise and now I'll finally get around to seeing it with tempered expectations.

Kyyle23 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Im waiting for HBO. My brother said it was "meh" and he usually loves movies like that, so I am not holding out much hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting for someone on Soxtalk to post their review of Avatar. I probably don't know of one person that has seen it. Although I love IMDB and new releases -- it's secretive voting system has Avatar as the 25th greatest movie of all-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 20, 2009 -> 12:01 AM) Balta, curious to hear what you thought about Star Trek, by the way. I know you tortured yourself and waited til you finished your dissertation to watch it. Was it worth the wait? I thoroughly enjoyed it, and yeah, I'm glad I waited until I finished that up before doing so. Was a nice reward/motivation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 If you have a chance to see Avatar in Imax 3D, I strongly urge you to go see it as soon as possible. It's safe to say that my mind was blown, and not much has that effect on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive disappointment seems to be the theme I have been seeing I think maybe I am just a really poor critic when it comes to action films. On another note, did anyone see the movie "Children of Men"? I saw it maybe two years ago and thought it was atrociously terrible. Then I am reading Rolling Stone magazine and Peter Travers calls it the 2nd best movie of the decade. Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I can see how the critics can love There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men, but Children of Men was just completely lame. The only thing I liked about it was Michael Caine and his secret weed factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KipWellsFan Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I was pretty impressed by Avatar in 3D. It plays better in the theatre than in trailers on tv and the computer. Visuals were great. Story was a little bit hamfisted, but still a great movie experience. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Cameron did a wonderful job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
