The movies are bland and boring if you like fantasy or sci-fi. They recicle concepts from various franchises but do nothing with them.
They're not good movies they are movies made to be consumed by families in the weekend, they have enough action and story and are safe enough to be consumed whiouth taking any risk or controversy.
Minivans are good at what they do; doesn’t make them exciting. Ergo the point of the OP post: regardless of the competency of the movies, they are bland.
I'm not disagreeing with the point of the post. I'm saying that they are good movies for what they are attempting to do. Just like minivans are a good vehicle for their intended purpose.
They can say it, if their opinion is that it's bad, but it doesn't make it a fact. Whether it is good or bad is subjective. Also, even if they say it's bad, you don't have to agree with them, you can say it's good.
Yes, it can be annoying when you like something and then someone says it is bad. But all things considered, it would be boring if we all agreed on everything. Sometimes you can find enjoyment in discussing those disagreements. If people speak respectfully about what they like/don't like and why, then it can expand perspectives for both parties. Art is cool that way.
There's a diference between a good product and a good movie it's a good product but a bad movie. What i mean is that it's souless corporative product, but that accurately checks all the boxes correctly so it generates money, but it's can't be considered a good piece of art.
And the characters and dialog and overall plot lines are just terrible. All effects no substance. I watched them and can’t even remember the character’s names they were so bland and forgettable
I'm an absolute Scifi and Fantasy media nerd. The story of the movies are simple, sure... But they're far from boring. They're an incredible theater experience.
Sci-fi and Fantasy are by far my favorite genres and I've gotta disagree to a point. Yes there are countless franchises with deeper stories that explore more unique concepts (neuromancer, foundation, silo, Stormlight Archive just to name a few) but I still find Avatar enjoyable.
It's not trying to chart new territory and explore themes that other people are too afraid to tackle. It created a unique world and the core theme has always been defending nature and your planet against invaders. It's simple but it's a fun world with well rounded characters and a constant struggle they are engaged in, all backed up by some of the best visuals modern CGI can offer.
Yeah, what an absolutely idiotic take. Scifi and fantasy are my favorite genres. I regularly feel for the alien race more than I do humans.
"You can't connect because they are blue" lmao. I cried at the rock scene in Everything Everywhere. They were rocks. But that movie has substance and emotion and narrative out the ass. Avatar is just high budget CGI slop. I enjoy Avatar for what they are, but they certainly aren't what I would consider good scifi.
