The intarwebs are buzzing with excoriating reviews of Avatar, and the haters are out in droves. American conservatives hate it because of the political tenor of the movie, SF fans hate it because it’s like SF before cultural relativity was examined in any kind of critical detail, and film fans hate the … pick one … score (which I liked, sorry, always been a fan of James Horner), script, plot holes (two of which are so immense that they render the action impossible), acting, artwork, and you name it.
I am very glad that my capacity for innocent enjoyment is greater than theirs. The haters may be telling the truth, but I don’t care. It may be a half billion dollar mashup of Ferngully meets Dances with Smurfs. It’s still worth seeing.
