Ok - finally got to see the latest movie from the King of the World. Well, apparently, this world was never quite big enough for his ego, so he's moved on to the galaxy, and it looks like he's pretty much exhausting that too.
I have not been so bored in a movie in years.
I was literally squirming in my seat, looking at my watch every 10-15 minutes or so, wondering if it would/could ever end soon. This is a ScreenSaver turned into a two and a half hour movie. It's big, splashy, hugely over-produced, and if you're a fan of video games, you'll be right at home. However, effects alone do not a good movie make - as we all know. The story is frightfully one-dimensional. It makes Disney's Pocahontas look like Proust. It's probably terrific if you're stoned. I wasn't. The only really amazing thing about AVATAR is that the ever foxy tight-bodied Sigourney Weaver is 60, and she kills poeple like a 40 year old!! No special effects necessary there, and she's the best thing in it. There! Spoken like a real gay man!
