well i watched avatar and all i could think was i wish i was at the cinema, that aside i thought it was good. very cameron, a bit like last of the mochincan's meets univeral solider meets An Inconvenient Truth with a dollop of bravehert and an essence of Pochahontas all topped off with pretty colours.


it is being re-released in the summer so i will go and see it then!
I'm trying to decide on a really meaningful message..

Am I alone in thinking Avatar was the biggest pile of Shite with a storyline you could see coming from the instant your man turned into one of them blue boyo's!

Whilst visually it was very impressive, the storyline wasn't up to much.

i was expecting alot more from the story line.... it was too "simple"..... as previosly stated nothing new just a combo of other films

though have to say i'd love to see it in the cinema... as ziggy said visually i am sure it looked class.

Avatar. Dances With Wolves in Space.

But a very, very pretty flick.

I'm a bit raging I never got to see it in cinema too! I'll be getting it on DVD for sure like. I loved it myself, probably just got over-awed by the graphics etc..the plot is a bit thin alright..

I thought that "Men who stare at goats was pretty good".

Saw Iron Man 2. Great film. good craic. It's Hollywood gong-wooh, but sure most people were expecting that. Not as good as the first film, but it ticks all the boxs that was expected in the sequel. including the Stan Lee cameo.

Have to agree there ziggy, good enough outing to the cinema! One little annoyance though was that in the orriginals war machine was black and white, in the way that iron man is red and yellow. Still pretty cool and impressive. Spoiler alert, but yer man at the race with the arm things was cool as F!
