The core story thread is the same. But the reasons for the characters actions and the specifics around why the story advances the way it does are quite different.

All i said was that if you think it contains no differences then you've not watched one of the two movies. I've already previously stated, repeatedly, that the story is by no means original.



Jesus christ i am getting so sick of idiots leaping forward into stupid posts like that during discussions on the internet. It makes it fucking impossible to have a discussion.

Don't let me interrupt your aneurysm, but I think it was a joke.

I think that's more a function of you needing to change your...Avatar...

Empirical tests would lead me to believe that it's a function of my head asplode.

Discussion is that Avatar has a stupid story that has been rehashed to death. But hey, it has amazing CGI.

Now if you can't take that discussion, you should probably get off the internet. Even the Republicans believe this, and it is hilarious to see their heads explode.

See, this is the kind of illogical crap that makes having discussions on the internets so goddamn difficult.

Well, you sure are making discussion easier by merely saying it's illogical and impossible to have a discussion about it rather than telling me why you thought it had a fantastic story!

/snark

Original or not original, there's a wide trend of people saying the acting was terri-bad, the story at best mediocre and nothing that hasn't been done before and better, and as I've said before in this thread or maybe the other thread, this doesn't make the movie bad but it's main selling point is special effects (which was amazing) and hype.

Opinions, opinions, opinions.

There it is again.

You are clearly either delusional, or just plain not reading my posts. Come back when you're willing to read what other people have said instead of making up their posts in your head and responding to that.

I'm whining about something but not talking about Avatar.
So your point is?

Okay, so you have that opinion, some share it but I don't agree nor do many critics.

The entire last page was you complaining about Avatar's story being compared to others. Great. I know that's what your opinion is. You can quit having the aneurysm about it.

This is my post saying that to me, Avatar is like the glitzy, makeup-everywhere, good looking whore that everyone has a run with but has the mental capacity of a lobotomized labrat and the personality of Lady Gaga.

It's entertaining but not something I'll be enjoying in the years to come.

EDIT: Why are you talking honest criticism of a Hollywood movie as a personal attack against your honour anyhow? You don't have to defend it or your opinion.
