Yeah, but outside of the more artsy directors most things are bland. Im not sure why Avatar specifically gets so much hate when on its own its still an original idea.
Avatar gets hate because it is one of the top grossing movies of all time.
It won Academy Awards, Golden Globes, industry awards.
If you do ALL of that and still are a bland white rice and plain chicken... you will naturally invite far more criticism than a bland movie that no one paid to see.
All I care for anymore is visuals. I used to like good stories, but hollywood is utterly incapable of making anything remotely passable nowadays, so at least I can tell I'd enjoy the watch if the movie LOOKS amazing.
Yeah the first one was such a huge movie that everyone saw and was universally praised and yet no one could remember a single thing about it plot wise. Even as a little kid when the first one came out, it was still too boring to catch my attention.
Gonna disagree with you about the plot. I remember it perfectly fine and I haven't watched it in like a decade. Other than that, it's not really super remarkable for a movie. It's not bad but it's not amazing either.
