Anyone seen Avatar?

Finally saw it. Basically dances with the wolves wiht a very predictable plot - but people go for the visuals and 3d, not story.

Was good - but cinemjatography sucked. Very few 'wow', 'kewl!' breathtaking momenets like in star wars, transformers or lord of the rings. As such it's not one of those 'let's watch it again' type movies, but visually nice.

Top 10 movies ever? Thats a hard list for me to put together. I tend to judge not only by quality but also re-watchability. In no particular order, I know the list would include:

- Saving Private Ryan
- Braveheart
- Basterds (narrowly edging out Jackie Brown, which was his best prior to Basterds)
- Memento
- In Bruges
- Heat
- Wall-E (either that or UP)

Thats off the top of the ol noggin.

Here's mine:

1- Braveheart
2- Scarface
3- Godfather I, Godfather II
4- Rocky I,II,III,IV,V,VI
5- Scent of a Woman
6- Italian Job
7- Heat
8- Snatch
9- Forrest Gump
10- Avatar or the Hangover (not too sure which one)

^^I'm sure I can replace 1 or 2 of them with another if I think this through, but this is off the top of my head...in no particular order, except Braveheart is #1 for sure.
 
Italian Job? The original or the remake?

Either way...dude......
 
Also Boogie Nights is on my list as well.

I thought a lot of the stuff when they were flying the dragon things looked pretty good. Gave a good sense of speed when they were diving, and also when Jack was trying to escape that pissed off beast in the forest....damn. Plus it was all in 3D. Nothing like that in those other movies you mentioned. I never thought Transformers was anything special either. Great special effects yeah but the only "wow" moment in that movie was probably when Optimus was getting his ass kicked in the woods. Other than that it was basically like 2012 on a smaller scale, with robots. Senseless destruction. Transformers also fails as far as making the audience feel anything. Well, maybe kids started crying when Optimus "died" lol.

The other thing is I don't see how Sherlock Holmes even came close to Avatar in numbers this weekend. I went to Avatar this morning and even the non 3D showing was sold out. On a Monday morning.

Avatar will be in the top 2 for at least the next 4-5 weeks. Gonna continue making a shitload of bank.

The main complaint i heard from many leaving the theater was 'it was too long'. Cameraon made one very bad mistake: most films have at least 3 "areas". this movie had only TWO: inside ship, and jungle.

This alone is what made it seem much longer to audiences. (eg:titanic had: inside ship drama, outside ship romance scenes, ending water crash).
(eg2: star wars had tattoine, inside death star, dogfight in space, all visually different).

I'm glad another grown adult non gay male like wall-e as much as I did. I was blown away by that movie. Just thought I was taking my nephew to go see a movie so his parents can get a breather. Turns out the little adhd faggot (I say that with luv) barely watched the movie and wanted to run around the theater and it was me that was transfixed......:whatever:



lol
