I don't think I want to see Avatar either.

Posted by musubi Jan 11 '10, 08:59

This statement might be the only thing that could make Spawn go out and see Avatar.

The more I read, the less interested in it I am.

(full disclosure: I never saw Titanic either)

Responses:

I did not care for it. Nothing about it really surprised or wowed me. -- nm - Ender Jan 11, 09:13
I was only kind of meh on it. I didn't regret seeing it, but I didn't love it either. -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 09:10 6
- promo for pirannah 3D - lafarrow Jan 11, 09:11 5
  - Yeah, but I've only seen the bootleg version of it shot off the screen on YouTube. -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 09:13 1
    - I had no idea about the cast until I saw it yesterday. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 09:15
  - Saw it on the big screen yesterday. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 09:12 2
    - Of course. It has girls in bikinis jumping on trampolines. -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 09:15 1
      - True, but it was when I saw (spoil) - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 09:18
I'll wait for the DVD - LMS Jan 11, 09:07
Well now you're reading more on the backlash. -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 09:07 1
- I'm sure this is partially true, but my reluctance to see it began before the movie even opened. - musubi Jan 11, 09:13
unrelated: i now picture you as the dude in the State Farm commercial air drumming to the Kansas song -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 11, 09:03
I don't understand. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 11, 09:02

    - I should add that to my resume. (nm) - musubi Jan 11, 09:09
I saw it last night and was impressed with the effects, but totally underwhelmed by the story & acting -- nm - decline Jan 11, 09:00 16
- I actually thought the story was pretty good. Acting was better than I was expecting too. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 11, 09:04 4

    - True. It's not about the actual story, just about how the story is told. - Shaun Jan 11, 09:11 1
      - BOOM! -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 09:11
  - I found it way to predictable -- nm - decline Jan 11, 09:05

  - Michelle Rodriguez is on my girl laminated list. -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 09:08 1
    - I would not put her in my top 10, but maybe top 25. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 09:09
- That is what half the people that see it say. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 09:02
- and all this oscar talk? not even close to a best picture imo - decline Jan 11, 09:01 1
  - It took me a while to realize this, but Oscar has never meant quality. It's about money, power, and influence. -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 09:09
- Do I need to see it in 3D? I'm not a big fan of 3D to begin with -- nm - oblique Jan 11, 09:01 4
  - I would say that you should. 3D is bad for me because I hate wearing glasses over my glasses...but didn't bother me a bit for this one. - Jim Jan 11, 09:04 1
    - I did find, towards the end, that the double glasses were beginning to weigh heavy on my nose. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 11, 09:14
  - I went in with a friend who said she didn't like 3D either. She ended up loving the movie. -- nm - con_carne Jan 11, 09:02
  - I saw it 3d imax - but honestly it was probably not necessary to do so. -- nm - decline Jan 11, 09:02
When enough people give something glowing reviews, I will see it even if I have no interest. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 09:00 15
- That's what happened with us. Too many people that we know were raving about this. -- nm - Jim Jan 11, 09:03
- If it were getting glowing reviews, I'd be more interested I think. - musubi Jan 11, 09:02 13
  - IMO, the story doesn't have to be the most important part of every movie - Guigue Jan 11, 09:11 1
    - I fully agree with that sentiment, in general. I'm not sure why, but this movie specifically....just isn't grabbing me. - musubi Jan 11, 09:15
  - It is like reading a comic with great art but an awful story. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 09:04 9
    - that's why I stopped watching Heroes. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 11, 09:04 8
      - no comparison. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 09:07 1
        
        Well, no - Heroes writing is worse than Avatar, and the visuals can't touch it -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 11, 09:16
      - Exactly. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 09:06 5

        I'm amazed with all your hatey that Cameron doesn't get hatelisted. (nm) - musubi Jan 11, 09:11 2
        
        the difference is he doesn't pretend he's doing anything other than mass-market entertainment. and on that level, he's the best at what he does - fatsquatch Jan 11, 09:15 1
        
        But you *hatey* just about *everything*. (nm) - musubi Jan 11, 09:17
        
        which one is the innie, and which is the outie? nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 09:08
  - I have seen an awful lot of ST-ers give it B+ or higher. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 09:03
Please, don't, make me like you. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 08:59
