    avatar was a great movie, saw it twice in 3d. this is one movie that i will buy in blu-ray when it comes out, but for now, i have to make do with a crappy russian cam.

  • trustnoone

    I hear so much about avatar, really sounds like something I want to watch

  • everyone

    I thought Zombieland was supposed to be good, and rated 8.0 at iMDB, but boy was I disappointed… and if that’s a supposed 8.0 I don’t think I’ll bother with 8/10 of those listed here…

    Basterds was decent, and I guess Avatar *should* be good given who’s made it, but all those others… not even for free.

    Movie industry should return to making half as many that are twice as good… pretty please?

  • yo mama

    I also saw Avatar in 3d twice lol…rest of the movies are not theatre worthy but okay to watch at home. =)

  • Alex

    Saw Avatar once in 3D, and I recommend everyone does! It’s truly a great movie.

  • Kirkpad

    Didn’t the director totally lip off someone trying to get a signature from him? Screw him, I don’t even want to see this self centered bastards’ movie. (even for free)

  • max

    fantastic movie! in 3d its outstanding!

    “The Invention Of Lying”

    Is that a documentary on the profit making methods of the media industry?

  • wow

    avatar was alright in 3d.. lots a cool graphics but pretty boring until the end.. by which time i was completely tired of sitting through a 3 hour movie.

  • Phillip

    Avatar was a sci-fi ripoff of “Dances With Wolves”. It was nothing more than a dry test run for some awesome new 3D. The 3D is fantastic, the movie is old hat. http://www.twitter.com/movieleak

    “The Invention Of Lying”

    It’s a movie with a lack of morals, trying to have fun. Of course the movies reality couldn’t have happened since imagination is basically lying. Without the ability to think up things that don’t exist and say that they do, human kind wouldn’t have made it this far.

  • Kapcha

    Avatar is awesome movie )

    no you don’t get the official pirate copy which is almost like the theatre experience.Avatar: The Making of the Bootleg: It’s Funny Because it’s True http://bit.ly/79p3sN (via@ http://www.twitter.com/overnetuser)

  • Avatar is BULLSHIT

    Avatar is an overhyped show with a piece of shit generic storyline. Special effects? So what? Look at 2012. Avatar is like 2012 in 3D, same shit different shitty story.

  • United Hackers Association

    no imagination is about lets pretend
    big difference between that and out right lying

    lying is what the riaa does
    lying is what ACTA is about
    lying is that the British will have a healthy economy with 500$ million costing there isps and the jobs it loses and that tax payers will get gouged for it and guess what then they cant buy other things and thus will stop having internet

    lying is not hey lets imagine that wall is blue,
    lying is telling someone the white wall here IS blue

    see the difference?
    avatar was ok nothing special
    seriously all this push for it is hilarious and i’m going to add the people above MUST be shills of some kind and yes Kirkpad the director flipped out on someone asking for an autograph

  • Anon

    Avatar is good, at least by toda’s standards, and Inglorious Basterds isn’t far behind.

    Everyting else on that list is shit. 2012 is the most generic, predictable and outright boring movie released for a long time. It copies stuff from almost every disaster movie of the last 10 years…honestly if I didn’t know better I’d say it was a parody of the genre (like The Happening, which falls into the “so bad it’s actually funny” category).

  • Anon

    Actually, I partially retract that. This Is It is worth watching if you’re an MJ fan, since it’s basically an unscripted behind-the-scenes of the last few months of his professional life.

  • @18

    @18 Oh you mean how Hollywood, the entertainment industry and MAFIAA “so happened” filmed his entire rehearsal before his death and comes up with a movie to milk money out of a dying (as in starpower) star?! Oh yea, I DON’T believe it’s a coincidence and I think one of the corporate pigs killed MJ. I mean, really, who would want to film an entire rehearsal before a concert? Something is amiss and I smell a dead rat…

  • Anon

    “I mean, really, who would want to film an entire rehearsal before a concert? Something is amiss and I smell a dead rat…”

    You’re gorgetting that this is a man who had some pretty serious psychological issues. I wouldn’t put anything like that past him.

  • @20

    @20 For dvd/bluray extras if he was intending to release it at a later date

  • davey jones

    go to the cinema and watch avatar in 3D, its the best cinema experience ive had for year.

  • cando22

    Jeez.. When did this site turn into a spam infected, quasi political, second rate movie commentary piece of crap? Sooner or later these morons always find us…. seriously administrators.. get rid of this crap….

  • Dude

    @11 actually Avatar is more of a rip off of FernGully than Dances. In fact the plot is nearly identical.

  • Pupnubby

    2009 was an awful year for movies. The only ones I enjoyed were “Inglourious Basterds” and “The Invention of Lying”. All the rest were derivative crap.

    James Cameron blew off that guy because he was a PAPPARAZZI trying to get autographs to SELL on ebay. He wasn’t no fuckin’ fan, he is just an asshole selling autographs on ebay, all of the TMZ people do it. They sell autographs and videos of the people they talk shit to. I wish more of the people would act like James Cameron to those leech ebay autograph sellers.

  • WTF Mate?

    How come there is still not a decent Ninja Assassin torrent out there? Cammers, get on the ball here.. movie has been out 5 weeks now and the only copy out there looks like it was shot with a cell phone camera..

    Isn’t it tragic how being pirated so much made Avatar suffer so much at the box office? Its only the 3rd highest grossing films of all time less than 3 weeks after its opening.

    BTW to the Avatar haters, you must have seen only seen the cam version because in 3d it was awesome, and it is the only film I have ever seen that I wanted to see it again right away.
