    I’m going to say something of which I am not sure if it’s controversial, but Avatar is a decent film but not a good film or, god forbid, a masterpiece. And it this point, I don’t know if the hype around Avatar on this site is a bit or unironic.

      I feel like writing

      actually better than Avatar

      About one of the greatest movies of all time is intended to be a joke.

      It's a bit, the Chapos did an ep where they just talked about how great it was and ever since then the community has been pro-Avatar as a meme

          It is actually good. It's not going to blow your mind or anything but the plot is serviceable, the dialogue is good, and the vfx are gorgeous. It's got Sigourney Weaver and Michelle Rodriquez being cool. Worst case scenario treat it as a nature documentary about a cool alien world that also has some shooting.

          It's completely fine. If you're expecting a serviceable action movie with tight direction and decent themes, you're going to have a good time. If you're expecting a cinematic masterpiece like Seven Samurai you're going to be very disappointed.

          It's a visual spectacle wrapped around a medium-quality action-adventure movie. It's not bad, and it does do the CGI extravaganza better than other movies that tried it - it's certainly better than Marvel slop on all counts. But I still found it largely forgettable.
