    I'm not saying it is horrible, but every creature I saw in there reminded me of a Displacer Beast from D&D.

    It's just something I personally have an issue with because so many movies focus on love and whatnot. There's a really good reason I'm looking for a song for my protagonist that has no romantic undertones or a single instance of the word "love", and the same reason is behind the main duo being sisters. Not everything has to be about love.
    That has been something I have noticed quite a lot as I have watch plenty of movies on my movie channels. It seems like there is little reason for the love story to be in the movie other than to get a "hot" actress in there for some guys to fawn over, like in Transformers and what's her tits.

    And a lot of them had an extra pair of legs. I mean a displacer beast is basically a jaguar with an extra pair of legs and tentacles.

    Was something to do with gravity, it was lighter so the animals were bigger meaning they needed more legs to move around.

    To be fair, the love is centric in Avatar (Jake feels for the Na'vi and thus switches sides), but yeah in a lot of movies they just tack on "there was a girl" for sex appeal. Honestly that's all it is in quite a few movies, and it gets on my nerves like nobody's business. I've been so overexposed to scantily clad women that what I'm attracted to has become something of the opposite: good-looking fully-clothed women (bonus points for ponytails and hoodies). Sex appeal is just one of the basest ways to sell something and I think of it as mildly underhanded and/or desperate--if you have to resort to sex appeal to sell something, it tells me there's not much else you have that I'd be interested in.

    Like--this isn't the best example--but in Iron Man and the Avengers. They chose Scarlett Johansen to play the Black Widow. Okay fine, she's supposed to be attractive (I don't find her attractive personally). But what bugs me about that isn't that she's supposed to be hot, it's that they chose an actress who makes stunts look super-awkward. For how fit that character and accustomed to physical activity that character's supposed to be, Scarlett just doesn't make the stunts look fluid, natural, or comfortable. It bugs me something awful.

    I won't mention Transformers because that movie is made of appeals to some of humanity's basest desires. It's not terrible, it's just not deep or intellectual at all.

    It's cool. I don't have an actual objective problem with Avatar besides lack of originality, but honestly that could be said to work in its favor since the Pandora is really, really alien. Having to follow a complicated storyline on top of that might've just been mental overload.

    Apparently Cameron had the story idea since highschool but i dont know what to believe. Complex story might have brought it low, it was a popcorn movie.

    Those visuals were just wow and i cant wait for the sequel.

    I wouldn't know to much about Scarlett Johansen, but companies need to start doing some of the less basic things. I think the main character needs to start dying more often in movies.

    I think the one movie that surprised me a lot the last few years was Red, just something about that movie that I like a lot. The love story isn't overly played out, although it is how the movie starts, but they don't force it down your throat every two minutes. Not many movies would dare kill Morgan Freeman.
