Yeah that was kind of my reaction too. I saw it once in theaters and at the time I probably would have given it an 8/10 at best... maybe I'll give it another chance? h:

Admittedly, Avatar has a fairly common story and it's character development and dialogue could have been a little better... but seeing that movie in theaters really was an awesome experience. If a movie can make feel that kind of excitement while watching it, it should probably be winning the best awards. But.. I'm sure James Cameron will get over it while he's counting his millions.
