Somehow James Cameron has amassed a reputation as one of the premier directors of the late 20th and early 21st century. The man's handiwork with a camera cannot be denied, but his taste in plots is among the worst. If not for an abundance of unnecessary swearing, this movie would have been rated PG (as it should have been), and would belong alongside other fairy tales such as Cinderella and Pocahontas. It's hard to see what "Avatar" does well, asides from beautiful special effects. There's not enough action to warrant a "Transformers" like buzz, and there isn't enough plot to allow for a genuine love story. How this movie has amassed so many positive reviews is beyond me. Oh wait, it was made for American movie-goers.
