Did I miss something plot wise? James Cameron having zero originality? I mean, you basically could have replaced the mining corporation with Haliburton, made it oil instead of “unobtanium” (real original, by the way), and made it Iraq instead of Pandora, and nothing would have changed at all.
On another forum I lurk at, someone posted up this:
2. It’s written and directed by James Cameron. Which means, if Titanic is anything to go by, this movie’ll
a. Be at least an hour too long;
b. Be self-indulgent twaddle;
c. Be over-wrought and sodden with simplistic & simple-minded moralizing;
d. Have a piss-poor plot so full of holes you could sail the Titanic through;
e. Be stuffed full of 2-dimensional characters (more caricature than character) emoting and chewing the scenery;
f. Have dialogue so childish, so shi_tty and so banal you have to wonder if it’s not in fact a parody on bad movie-making;
g. Have 2 hours of mind-numbing dullness building up towards the climax of an hour or so of total action.
The knowledge of impending cool special effects and big explosions is to ensure the male theater goer remains in the theater while the drippy love story being played out in the first 2 hours is there to entertain the female theater goer. I notice the trailers focus almost solely on, what I’m assuming, will be the final battle scenes. Which makes one wonder what happens to get us to that point and why is it not worth promoting.
