Tom & Dinosaur Hand review Avatar!


Dinosaur Hand: ...great, you know I missed that part 'cause of the popcorn!
Tom: Sorry.
DH: Also, you hogged the glasses for the whole movie!
Tom: Only one pair per paying customer...guess who payed? Plus, look, no eyes.
DH: Poo.
Tom: Hi, this week the movie review is of James Cameron's newest megablockbustermillionmillionmillion dollar and then some movie, Avatar!
DH: He's my hero, this guy rocks; even big heavy rocks that literally rock are rocked by Cameron!
Tom: You got a thing for rocks, don't you, Dino?
DH: oh, well, Charades I like, too, and rock papers scissors. They rock.
Tom: Back to Avatar. Really really excellent effects. Every time out Cameron finds a way to dazzle...no exception here.
DH: The blue people, awesome; and the monsters and flying thingies...ooh yeah!
Tom: The 3-D was cool as well. I didn't know what to expect, but it was way worth the price.
DH: Hey, hey.
Tom: What?
DH: Hey, Tom...hey. Remember that one preview? With the teeth fishy things? Remember that?
Tom: Piranhas in 3-D?
DH: Yeah! That one! Let's see that next...I get the glasses this time!
Tom: We'll see. Anyway, the effects were great, but the story was just average. It was engaging and had some good twists, and a fine ending. But there wasn't much new here. It's been called "Dances with Wolves in Space"...
DH : ...pigs in spaaaaaccccceee....
Tom: ...it was OK, I'd recommend it.
DH: Yeah, but next time let's skip the popcorn, eh? Or try eating with your other hand?
Tom: I said I was sorry.

this reviewing format deserves a wider audience
:-)

i liked it a lot too, thought it managed to get away with the rather simple familiar storyline

Tom said...

Yeah, lettuce; I walked out of the theatre feeling pretty good--satisfied. Easy to nitpick a movie, but a totally enjoyable experience. Dino was a little peeved (popcorn butter hangover)

Didn't see the 3D although we had wanted to. Best part for me was watching the young man in front of us with his grandparents sitting at the edge of his seat throughout and excitedly turning to them.

I imagined myself, if this had been the 1st story like this I had ever seen.

Glad we saw it once, but couldn't sit through it again.

I may not see this...I just like things that don't knock your socks off best, Miyazaki is a favorite.

Unspoken said...

I just can't decide. I wonder would it still be good when it is released on DVD?

It had very little marketing here but still broke the box office. Loved it. Hold the popcorn.
