Geoluhread,

1) You didn't like it. Okay, that's fair. You watched it on pirated DVD so any money it cost for you to see it in that format is on you. You can bitch that it wasted 2 hours and 30 minutes of your life. That would be fair. But you have also acknowledged elsewhere on this site that you think movies suck in general, so our reception of your opinion on this should be tempered by that fact.

2) The movie showed a lot of people being jerks. My complaint was it was too simplistic and a bit of a science-fiction stereotype, like using Arab terrorists as the bad guys in an action film. But some humans in the film opposed the bad guys. So if you want to claim the film is terrible because it's portraying humans as being jerks, you are saying the same thing about Star Wars and most other science-fiction films (and most action films for that matter).

3) The film cost about 500 million dollars to make, and has turned a right royal profit. So 20th Century Fox did not "waste" their investment. And the tickets are being purchased out of peoples entertainment budgets. If they weren't buying these tickets they'd have gone out to dinner or watched a different movie or purchased a DVD or bought some MP3's. It's not as if had Avatar not been made that all this money would be pouring into charity now.

4) You are entitled to your opinion. You didn't like the movie. You thought it royally sucked. It wasted your time. All valid points of view, but just your opinion. Don't try to increase the worth of your point of view by stating these generalizations and broad untruths.
