jasonhurwitz's Review

  1. Quality
  2. Really Great 4.5

    Definitely see this movie in 3D***

    Wow. Epic. Overall, I loved the film. OK, OK, there were times when the dialogue was, well, how should I say it … we don’t watch porn for the storyline, now do we? Yeah, that describes this movie too. This film was made to be huge and to make us walk out of the theater going “Wow.” It totally succeeded. Get over the storyline being a little trite and enjoy the movie as a whole for what it is: an epic spectacle.

  3. Really Great 4.5

    Sam Worthington was the worst actor in the entire movie, though only when he’s himself — as his Avatar, he does much better.

    The rest of the cast was great, but the standout performance was given by Stephen Lang as Colonel Quaritch.

  4. Male Stars Really Great 4.5
  5. Female Stars Really Great 4.5
  6. Female Costars Really Great 4.5
  7. Male Costars Really Great 4.5
  8. Really Great 4.5

    Make sure you see it in 3D, not on your laptop or a seat-back screen on an airplane.

  9. Direction Perfect 5.0
  10. Play Very Good 3.5
  11. Music Great 4.0
  12. Visuals Perfect 5.0
  13. Content
  14. Risqué 2.5
  15. Sex Titillating 1.7

    Lots of under- and side-boob shots.

  16. Violence Brutal 3.5

    Not bloody, but still quite violent.

  17. Rudeness Salty 2.3
  18. Fantasy 5.0
  19. Circumstantial Fantasy 5.0
  20. Biological Fantasy 5.0
  21. Physical Fantasy 5.0

True. I mean, I still tell the people the same old: “Did I enjoy the movie? Yes. Will I look back on it 10 years from now with the nostalgic factor of movies like ‘Dark Knight’? No.”

I stand by my original assessment: “it’s likely to go down in history as little more than technical triumph.” Still, Hollywood loves a winner so much – especially one that includes America the Ugly politics – that JC might take home the Best Picture Oscar.

FWIW, the Best Picture of the year was clearly Up In The Air. Up is also deserving.
