Avatar, before its release, had created a lot of hype... but according to the reports thats coming up, we have not that good news on its feedback...
but if the box office collections are to be believed, Avatar is doing good business... making up $73 Mn in first 3 days of its release worldwide...
made on a budget of $ 230 Mn, it was expected to breakeven within the first week itself, but sad it will not be able to do that...
the story is good, the direction too and the special effects are breathtaking, but its lacking something... may be not, but the hype that it has created have taken a toll on the perception of the viewers...
what do you feel, how is Avatar as a movie... seen it??? enjoyed it???

I haven't seen Avatar yet, but a couple of friends did and enjoyed it very much. I'll wait for a month or so until a good quality copy appears on the Internet. I don't really care about how much money the producers make - I think they always make much more money than they should, considering the world's degree of poverty, so I only judge movies by how much I enjoy them.

Something I feel lacking of this film, it storyline wast too fast -_- we just give an idea that jake already really close to native pandora. It will be great if the movie being split, and have more focus like lord of the rings. But its still worth to watch

I haven't seen it and will probably wait until it's available to rent for $1. To me, it's the same old story of a guy saving a world and falling in love. There are supposedly fabulous special effects and superb animation that look like real people but that's just hype to me. My theaters here aren't equipped to show 3-D anyway.
There's nothing new, just old stories dressed up with new effects. I'm not going to waste $10 to see it.

Oh wow I heard it got good reviews from people and off course I heard it got bad reviews. I know Sigourney Weaver thought it was going to beat Titanic on opening weekend at least thats what she said during an interview. I did not think it was going to beat Titanic But I thought it would of come close to it but I guess it has not. I have not seen this movie yet so I cant review it.

i am wtching avatar cartoons and i don't mind if it has a different view on the cartoon ones. as long as the effects are good and can bring fun to viewers i guess it is just al right. i haven't seen it yet in movies.it's still the next attraction.
