Help me understand how you think Avatar is pretentious.

jacobugath

May 2, 5:37pm

I would say that it attempts to impress by affecting greater importance than it

Ojiisan

May 2, 6:40pm

But you know it’s actually terrible right?

pink22

May 2, 6:52pm

How? Because it's derivative? Does that make The Lion King terrible? Or Monsters University? Or Cars?

jacobugath

The writing. The acting. The ugly blue people. And the boring story.

pink22

May 2, 8:39pm

Avatar 2 definitely is.

Most "Pretentious?" Meaning, thinking it's a great movie but really not?

C’mon thumbs downers. Debate me.

cougfanblue

May 2, 6:15pm

I don't know enough about the actual battle to debate. I thought the movie was fine.

jacobugath

May 2, 6:39pm

It’s enough to know there were hundreds of thousands on the beach. The movie shows maybe a couple hundred…

Tenet hands down

This is a great answer. A lot of eye candy and tried too hard to be a mind

Very true. Tenet was the movie where Nolan finally got his head too far up his

If you've watched it 4-5 times, he must be doing something right.

jacobugath

It wasn’t for the entertainment value, it was solely to try and understand it.

I literally finally saw this last Friday. I thought it was pretentious as heck.

grosven

May 2, 5:43pm

I wouldn't say it is the most pretentious.

bluesloth

May 2, 5:57pm

Tenet defenders will say "only those who don't understand Tenet hate on it." I

May 3, 8:47am

I don't hate but it certainly wasn't his best. And the sound was terrible.

Mikey

Yes, worst center channel/dialogue mix EVER. What was Nolan thinking?

May 3, 10:19am

Which way to the huntsman center

So the movie mocking pretentiousness was too ... pretentious?

jacobugath

Yep, they managed to pull it off.
