Guest beatfanatic Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 "Before any “Avatar” footage was screened to the public, fanboys and movie buffs were hailing the movie, calling it the cinematic game-changer of the decade." that reminds me of someone lol. I am looking forward to the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azatoth Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 all the drama is caused by the internet nerds. the average person has no idea what avatar is. maybe they know it's a movie about blue people and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gary C Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 all the drama is caused by the internet nerds. the average person has no idea what avatar is. maybe they know it's a movie about blue people and that's it. QFT. I think I said somewhere before that this may fail because normal people just don't care. It flies under the same flag as the Final Fantasy film. Too nerdy for the mass-public to engage with. Cameron himself is the biggest draw to the widest demographic. Saying that, for the past week the Sun (the most popular tabloid in Britain) has ran a centre-page campaign with interviews and articles about Avatar. Obviously it's a massive advertisement, but I should assume they've caught some attention with it, and most certainly in the young-teens age-range. When I was under 14, and Internet-less, the Sun was my only source for blockbuster movie news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perunamuusi Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 i've only just heard of this film (apart from seeing this thread title quite a few times... i've never opened this thread before and somehow it has never sparked enough interest in me to even work out that the Avatar in the thread title refers to a film title)... i'm assuming that because this is on 28 pages that this is quite a hotly anticipated film... can someone explain why this is 28 pages long when i can't even remember seeing a single other pre release movie thread before....

karmakramer Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 So by saying Avatar was really much, much better than expected, that it looked amazing and that the story was gripping – if cheesy in many places – the Guardian is in technical breach of the agreement. It is not a breach, however, to report that other journalists leaving the screening were also positive: the terrible film that some had been anticipating had not materialised. It was good. - Guardian More positive early impressions... not ONE negative one yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get to it though. My mind just doesn't want to be thinking about politics atm, I'm so fixated on this fucking movie! MORE IMPRESSIONS! The AVATAR buzz is an understatement.

If so can you please stop doing that. I still don't see any of the review staff at Aintitcoolnews talking about seeing Avatar. I think it's a tad bit silly to post without authenticating, fan reactions to saying the've seen it (because we have zero evidence to believe they have).

I guess... I just assumed cause the previous quotes have been on twitter, it would have been kind of obvious. No one can publish reviews yet, cause some publications have exclusives.

karmakramer Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 THESE ARE ALL CRITICS... NO ONE ELSE CAN EVEN SEE THE MOVIE @dmann11: "Holy effing crap!!! Avatar was FREAKING AWESOME KICK ASS SWEET!!!!!" @TheGate: "For the record 'Avatar' was worth the $400 million, and no it is not even remotely "vomit inducing". @gholson: "Specacular. A visual feast and the new benchmark in cinematic world building." @chasewhale: "Just finished AVATAR. Special effects were top notch. The movie ran a little long for my likings but I liked it!" @comingsoonnet" "Okay, about Avatar?.... WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW! Unbelievable... amazing." @MikePereira21: Was blown away by Avatar! For 150 minutes, I was a kid again. Thank you James Cameron! BTW, the groundbreaking 3D was mindblowing." @rejects: "I'm not supposed to talk about Avatar... That said, it was a spectacular experience. Like nothing I've seen before." an astonishing sensory experience unlike anything I've seen on film. Holy fuck wow. - I wonder what that could be about... ahem -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
