I had a pretty strict no-three-hour movies policy for the first four decades of my life. Now that I fill most of my idle hours with canasta and shuffleboard, I've eased my movie length restrictions a bit. I was expecting a terrible story, and it was a (slight) cut above terrible and the effects were enough to make it a tolerable way to spend 3 hours. Unobtainium was stupid, that's for sure. Acting was horrid. Would've worked better as a silent movie. I'm psyched that <em>THL</em> mopped the floor with <em>Avatar</em>, we can all breathe a little more easily now...

Did the movie end 2 hours and 30 mins early? Aside from the stunning visual effects, what was so surprising about Avatar? It had pretty much Dances with Wolves, Last of the Mohicans, Last Samurai - except with blue natives and a precious metal not found on our periodic table of elements called "unobtainium" (how f-ing lame is that?!). Many audiences complain that the 3D gives them nausea - there was even an NYTimes article on it. However, I wanted to barf because of the retarded storyline and dialogue. You'd better be right about THL taking Best Picture... Pleasantly surprised by Avatar?? Did the movie end 2 hours and 30 mins early?
