And before you say how being on top of that list doesn't make a movie good, it does make it worth watching, so that you can have an opinion after seeing it and bash it all you want.  |
I thought I would take a quick look at the top 10 Suki
The only movies in this top ten list which isn't poor in my own eyes is Titanic and MAYBE the first Lord of The Rings. But other then those two.. also if you go on in those top Box Offices you won't find many good movies.. most them are rubbish to me, so the chance that Avatar strikes is very low right?
1. Avatar - Aufbruch nach Pandora (2009) $2,781,505,847
2. Titanic (1997) $1,835,300,000
3. Der Herr der Ringe - Die Rückkehr des Königs (2003) $1,129,219,252
4. Pirates of the Caribbean - Fluch der Karibik 2 (2006) $1,065,896,541
5. Toy Story 3 (2010) $1,062,984,497
6. Alice im Wunderland (2010) $1,023,285,206
7. The Dark Knight (2008) $1,001,921,825

The plot is not very original and the acting is not extra-ordinarily note worthy.
I think this movie grossed highly due to the big names behind it and, mostly, outstanding marketing.
In essence, I'd sum it up as glorified eye candy. IMO
definitely watch it to come up with your own opinion though, it never hurts.

Your probably right. But I thought without the 3-D effect it's even worse..
