Final Avatar

When I went to see avatar last Friday, I was expecting to laugh my ass off at the "funny blue monkey people" I had seen on the previews. I was looking forward to the 3D effect which I had heard was impressive, but for the most part I was planning to enjoy it for its bad-ness. Corpus Christi was I wrong. It was like I was expecting a 3rd grade school play (terrible, but cute) and accidentally saw Cirque de Soleil juggling sloths while balancing on Megatheriums*. It kicked my ass so hard I'll be crapping out my mouth for a week. High Points;

Amazing Mech Vs Tiger-snake-thingy action
Hands down the most beautiful movie I've ever seen
Best battle scenes since LOTR
Coolest fake animals ever
Neytiri can have my babies
I want to ride a dragon bird

*Spell check suggests "Woolgathering" as the correct spelling of "Megatherium". This is what I am actually talking about though, Best animal of all time right here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megatherium

Now various people are saying the plot is unoriginal, since it copies "dances with wolves" and some other movies. Know what? I've never SEEN "dances with wolves" or some other movies, so to ME, it was original. I mean geez, I'm in my 20's, its not as though I'm an infant... but when reviewers are mentioning movies I've never heard of, I can't help but feel that they must be REALLY out of touch with the world. I've seen it 3 times now, and plan on seeing it as many more times as my budget will allow.
