      Well, popular is not the same as good. Is Taylor Swift the best singer and composer in the world? (definitely not)

      I'm not saying the avatar movies are bad, but IMO there's lots wrong with them story wise. Impressive visuals alone don't make a film good.

        Story is literally the first, smallest, simpelest part of a movie. If that's what you judge movies on, maybe you should read books instead.

          How.. What...? So you watch movies mostly because of the pretty pictures? Are you a toddler?

            For lots of reasons. I enjoy some movies for the story, others for the performances, a few for the world building, some for the concepts, occasionally for making me think about them weeks later, sometimes for the cozy mindless sweetness. And dozens more reasons. I can find reasons to appreciate nearly any movie.

            Saying that every movie needs to have this one thing to be good, is the definition of narrow minded.

              Well, yeah. Avatar has to be good world building. But what's the point if it wastes it on a mid story with bad plot?

                World building isn't enough on its own? You can't just put on the movie and hang out in this place for a while?

                  Of course not. Unless they release the wild life documentary of Pandora.
