You know how everyone says the story is crap yeah? Well the way i see it, is he wrote it about 20 years ago which makes me forgive Cameron a little, because at that time such a story probably would have been sick
Really? So.. basically... He drafted a story in 1994. Which was apparently the era where complex stories didn't exist. Cameron, by your logic, never once in the last 15 years made any kind of alteration to the script. That theory is where you base the foundation of your opinion? Your life must be fantastic.

I normally would, but this movie divides people more than usual.
But my appeal is basically the first category. Perhaps not exactly like that, but the category is my opinion but really simplified.
I base those groups on what I have seen so far in this thread.
If anything, I see very little divide on the movie. I’m such a loser I gathered everyone’s reviews below. Out of the 20 reviews listed in the thread. I only found two extremely unfavorable review by Musica and mephisto who did agree the visuals were “dazzling”, but thought everything else was ridiculous. While the other reviewer, Don, who recommended the movie while heavily criticizing plot holes and character development.
Looking at your categories here.
1. I love it. It is amazing. I can easily forget about/ignore the worse parts.
2. It is ok. The story and lines makes it average. Doesn't really live up to the hype.
3. It sucks.
18 of 20 fall into the category of being favorable or extremely favorable.
2 fall into the category being unfavorable.
SO based on the statistics of this thread alone, 90% are favorable or extremely favorable. By telling someone the consensus of the thread falls into 3 really simple broad categories, is miscommunicating to them the real consensus on the movie. That's all I meant to say It's unfortunate I had to go in loser mode to elaborate.
Ivaron said – Great movie, I even liked the story. Umpa said - Avatar is a testament to how far we have come in the field of visual arts. It is a true masterpiece and deserves a spot next to the Mona Lisa. Archie said - withheld my opinion of the movie until I actually watched it. And you know what? This movie was actually really good! SithDiablo said - this movie's 3D is lightyears better than previous works IceBlade said -This movie was excellent, extremely well put together and I have no criticism for it whatsoever ScyberDragon said - I sawthis movie today and all I'm going to say is that everyone should go see this movie Mephisto said - So I watched it. This is what the fuss was all about? It was seriously like watching a National Geographic documentary about some alien planet, but with some additives here and there. Nyalite said - I'm sure its clear that I really enjoyed this film YOU said - It is definitely my favourite movie of all time Lestater said - I'd have to agree, the visuals and overall atmosphere it created is what blew me away and is probably what will make this movie memorable which isn't to say that that is a bad thing. Musica said - I thought it was a pretty bad movie with only the visuals keeping me interested. They were definitely great although I don't think they were as dazzling as some people seem to think. Don_Guillotine said – lots of… stuff. Recommended it but heavily criticized the plot holes and character development. Moosh said - My opinion and a lot of other peoples opinion, is that this movie is unlike any movie that I have ever seen. Daemaro said - He liked it. Dawg said - I saw the movie a few days ago and I liked it PhrozenDragon said - Damn. Damn this was good. I enjoyed this movie so much, and left the theater with this wondrous feeling. Because this movie took me to another world and made me believe I was there. Junction3 said - As much as I did enjoy the movie and don't really agree with everyone who is/was bashing it, that is true and still is very funny. Genesis said - I just saw this in 3D and I honestly don't think it would of been anywhere near as insane without it. It still would of looked visually stunning but 3D is a entire different league. I nearly jizzed my pants
As for storyline. It was fairly simple, but simple doesn't mean shit. There's a difference. ME – I loved it. Halfniak said - I saw Avatar this weekend and thought it took 3d modeling to a new level.
This, along with District 9 was my favourite movies of the last 3 years.
"It is definitely my favourite movie of all time IF I manage to shut down my brain and ignore the cliche storyline ^^"
There is a fat difference between these 2. The first one is false and the last is true.
Now you're taking your own comment out of context. You later added
"Which I managed to do when I first watched it. It was that fucking amazing."
Pwned yourself. Never seen that one before.
The quotes do not capture the entire critique of the individuals; however, the quotes weren't taking their impressions out of context. People prelude their critique with a general thesis. You know, their overall impressions.
I was just commenting that your post wasn't very insightful. Your categories inaccurately described the consensus of the forum. If you still disagree, ask yourself, "Who falls into group #2?".
I'm actually gonna go see this movie soon, maybe this upcoming weekend provided it is still in theaters. I hope its as cool as everyone here says it is.

My life is fantastic.
Battle not with monsters lest you become one.
They both have male protagonists, duh.
Rise and rise again, until lambs become lions
BLUE male protagonists, with braids.
as with many other movies. they also use arrows and people with arms and legs in both movies..
