James Cameron hasn't held my attention since Terminator 2, and that's probably because I was a tweener when it came out. Avatar looks like the world's most expensive cartoon.

I chuckled at lots of the dialogue and the 2D characters (ironic, in 3D), but to look at it was just wonderful. Steve, I appreciated it for what it was – a visual spectacle.

But I reserve judgement. I tittering throughout Titanic while others wept. I was confused and irritated by Watchmen, but it kicked in after 30 minutes and in the end, I enjoyed it. But from your review of Avatar, it's a shame that intelligence and sensory pleasure are still either/or. I don't see why. I'm tired of being told to leave my brain at the door.

I thought you were going to go into a scathing tirade of Garry Charles proportions about how awful it was. Glad you liked most of it. I kind of felt the same way. The green hippie stuff turned me off a bit, but I too, forgive its flaws in order to enjoy it, just as one does with a Star Wars movie. Good fun, entertaining at the end of the day, and surprisingly low on expletives and gore which means my kids can see it too. Whew!
