Lets start with the good points first of all i have to commend the special effects in this film which are superb. OK why did i give this such a low score simple, why spend millions of dollars on a weak story where the viewer has no compassion for any characters. The special effects should compliment a good film. There's no way I can praise the actors because they are not giving good lines to show there talents. I have seen better plots in a Steven Seagal movie. In the end your wishing the movie to be over. Yes this film is too long, i acknowledge that some great films are probably 10 or 15 mins too long like 'the dark knight', 'saving private ryan' and 'the departed' however these films entertained all the way and i wasn't in the cinema wishing the film to be over. If Avator does sweep the Oscars, i hope it doesn't pick up best actor or actress or best director or best picture.... because it simply has no right to be even considered!
