Avatar Review: Avatar was written by James Cameron who I personally think is a terrible writer. We are familiar with his last epic film "Titanic", which was the most cheesiest thing ever. (SEE MY TITANIC REVIEW). Avatar's story was simplistic and dull. There seems to be no reason why it had to be so long. It wasted so much time with him trying to learn their ways when all he truly had to do is ask, "Hey, could you guys move away from your tree, we got to blow it up". I get the whole thing with him trying to gain their trust, but why does he need their trust to ask one question. If "yes" then great, if "no" you die. That simple! Now, the visual effects; everybody thinks the effects are "beautiful" but I think it all looked like a video game. DISTRICT 9's effects were so much better because they more real; you could believe that something like that could actually happen. Unlike Avatar, which was some sort of a cartoon to my eyes. Sure, there was a neat battle scene but it still didn't have the properties of a good movie.
