Well Rich, seems mighty disgruntled about Avatar. I think its only real appeal was the young kiddies. But wasn’t we young kiddies once? Maybe not as disgruntled as we our today with life's general issues in society.
I was disappointed with the credits running time that seemed so short when compared to “Alien VS Predator” that run for almost 15 minutes. “Avatar” was in around 6 minutes. I can’t be asked to run the DVD to check its rough guess.
One thing is clear "Avatar" isn't "Star Wars" and I saw "Star Wars" in or around less than 10 times at the cinema between (1977 and 1980) as it was re-released as double bill alongside "The Empire Strikes Back" (after it did so well, later in the year).
