Yeah it gets a lot of crap for being a simple unoriginal story at its core but there are plenty of great movies that don't do anything revolutionary story-wise. I watch these movies for the spectacle, and it absolutely delivers on that front.

The Avatar movies definitely do that. 14 u/SEND-MARS-ROVER-PICS 1d ago Avatar gets shit on for being the same as Pocohontas, Dances With Wolves, and Ferngully, but those movies don't get shit on for being each other. 5 u/KingMario05 1d ago Yet the audience shows up every time. Why? Because James Cameron brings the spectacle none of the others do.
