To those who are feeling clinical depression because they cannot literally live in Pandora, I say get real.

I saw a copy of the Disney synopsis with the names scratched out and replaced with the names in Avatar and it was still the Avatar. They even have Grandmother Willow. I really don't care for this movie. It is Pocohontas with blue people and dinosaurs.Jessica Penothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04151171434078139270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5070009520447499812.post-20778776594431739982010-06-07T16:45:44.915-07:002010-06-07T16:45:44.915-07:00*applause*

I didn't find it to be the end all, be all of movies however. I kept feeling a strong Pocahontas vibe the whole time I watched it. And maybe some Lion King Tree of Life stuff too...not sure. The 'avatars' kind of bugged me as well, as did the hopping in and out of animation. I didn't HATE it, nor did I love it...it was just OKAY! :o)The Artful Gypsy aka Wendy the Very Good Witchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019178141482378287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5070009520447499812.post-5893274560921368102010-06-07T13:47:25.241-07:002010-06-07T13:47:25.241-07:00I'm soooooo with you (many within earshot have...I'm soooooo with you (many within earshot have heard my rants). The movie was okay and I enjoyed it for what it was, but the whole "visionary" hype makes me crazy. Funny, I've been itching to post a long diatribe pointing out numerous rip-offs and ideas seen before (Princess Mononoke being just one).<br />I just might.Dave Lowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697644776554772725noreply@blogger.com
