Your Worst Movies of All Time

Eh, I didn't like Avatar. Everything except the visuals was subpar at best. 1/5

I can't help but NOT take anyone seriously who even attempts to defend Avatar for any reason other than that the visuals were pretty cool

Please tell me you're not referring to the Peter Jackson remake now. Pleeeeaaase

The story was worse than just predictable, it was completely unoriginal. I did like the setting, though. Aliens with USB cables attached to their heads are fun

Well if you're talking about the original I hardly see how your argument is relative. Of course everyone knows how it ends, because it's been around for 70+ years. And yes its considered a masterpiece, because at the time is was released the story was innovative and original.

Everyone knew how Avatar was going to end, not because it's been around forever that everyone has seen, but because it's a rip off of a classic story theme that HAS been around forever.

There is absolutely NOTHING original or innovative about Avatar, save for the graphics, which in and of itself is not enough to constitute it as a "Good movie".

And I studied Cinema and Screen Writing (specifically) for 4 years at University. I actually have a degree stating that I'm qualified to be better at critiquing films than you. ESPECIALLY when it comes to story, which will forever be the MOST important aspect of a film first and foremost. For without a story, there is no movie to be made.

They don't have to be the most original thing ever, that's why tropes exist. But there's a thing called ripping-off, and that's what Avatar did. I liked the movie, but I can't really take its plot seriously.

Na na na boo boo, I'm better than you

Nahhh haha I understand that everyone has different opinions. In fact one of the most important things I had to learn at school was how to put myself into the shoes of the common film audience (which lately these days have proven themselves to be quite retarded IMO (in America at least))

And no I'm not a huge ORIGINALITY PURIST like some people, because I understand that there is almost no such thing as true originality in terms of story these days. So many different things have been done that its impossible for someone to write a story and not borrow things from other proven standards.

However, the fact that Avatar so blatantly and unashamedly STOLE the ENTIRE story and plot from other, frankly better films like Dances with Wolves and yes, even Pocahantes, and didn't even try to come up with something original beyond the "Look we're aliens in space in the future durrrrr" element is the reason why I have absolutely no respect for it.

I enjoyed Avatar, but before you all start flaming me, consider the circumstances:

I went out with a bunch of friends and had drinks and dinner.
We smuggled beer into the theater.
I passed out and woke up 30 minutes into the movie.
When I woke up, I told the unbelievably hot girl next to me that I had passed out for half an hour, so I asked her what happened.
She said, "You were asleep!? I've been talking to you this whole time!"
She then proceeded to hit on me for the rest of the movie.

You could call that an artistic masterpiece.

Instant success.

I can't remember if anybody ever posted this here before, but this is always relevant
