was avatar a huge hit mostly because of his special effects?

i got to it was a very good movie,the story was alright but what impressed me was the world that they have been able to create.it was something that i have never seen before.

yeah pretty much

Yeah

Yup.

No, it had a deep story, amazing characters, a premise that has never been done before, and an amazing director.

loljk

Yup. Pretty much what everyone else said. But I'll admit, I DID like the movie for it's special effects.

And...

~Lol!

Zijuun.

What else did the movie have going for it?

Nothing it was basically a movie people had seen dozens of time, the only thing that made it great was its graphic,buzz, and the director's name.

Yeah I know it was a rhetorical question xD

Definitely. The first time I saw the movie, it was on the biggest screen I could find and I got completely swept up in the 3D spectacle and I thought it was the greatest movie I had ever seen. Then later I watched it again, and I pretty much completely hated it. I was so enamored with the visual awe that it took me a second viewing to realize it was a bad movie.

It was really good and I liked it but I can't for the life of me figure out how it hit one bil.

Pretty much. The movie was lame, the graphics were great.

The only good character was the helicopter pilot.

And that's only because Cameron cut and pasted a character from one of his actually good movies and stuck her in there.

Anytime I see "Avatar", I think of Aang or Korra...

Which you should

Yes. That is exactly the reason.

dancing with wolves with blue cats

Yeah

I'm just depressed that stupid light show got more praise than FAR better, smarter and more emotional blockbusters like The Wolfman, the last 2 Star Wars prequels and Book of Eli.

They are the only Avatars that matter.

It's successful for two reasons

1. The buzz that people wouldn't shut up about when it came out

2. It has James Cameron's name on it.

No, Avatar was the same story as Pocahontas. It was unoriginal and bland. Special effects save the movie.

I hate it but I never saw it in the theater.

I preferred Disney's Pocahontas, the movie Avatar was based on.

@cheesesticks: Hence, why I said:

"loljk"

I enjoyed the movie, for both the story and the special effects. I thought it was a pretty awesome movie.

Or Dances with Wolves.

Hey, Roku, Kyoshi, Kuruk, and Yangchen mattered too

Did you edited it or? Cause i don't remember seeing it lol

Or The Last Samurai
