"So which of you morons is still trying to claim Avatar wasn't dope?"


  

          

Cuz I'm watching it for the first time since theaters, and it's fun and exciting and visually ridiculous. The script works, the acting is good, and the characters, while conventional, all fit perfectly into the story.


So remind me again, in a way that isn't nitpicky or overwhelmingly nerdy, why this movie "sucked"? Was it just because it was popular and so many people liked it?
