With the more liberal bent of Hollywood it can not come as a surprise that there are sometimes messages in movies that trend towards that view. So what? Of course you can choose not to go see those movies- but why waste so much time railing about it if it was just "disinterest".
My politics are quite conservative- everyone knows that- but I was able to enjoy this movie for what it was- a fun movie, set in a beautiful world different than our own. It did not make be think that all humans are evil, or that the military is evil, or that we are killing our planet. It's a fictional story-tinted with some "progressive" messages- again, so what?
I guess you are going to go see it-hope you enjoy it. But don't pretend this is benign disinterest on your part-not with so many quoteable slams on something you have not seen- MUCH like the people who slammed the Harry Potter books as evil without reading them or knowing anything about them.

Sorry Nephy, but you (and others) are simply looking for emotions and motivations which just aren't there. Yes, I posted my thoughts regarding the film and my sentiments regarding why I have no desire, other than because of the 3D visuals, to see it. But, this is a discussion site. That's the point. I click on LoT, click "New Posts," click a thread, and if I feel like it, I post. I'm not protesting on a freeway overpass or marching through downtown with a sign. I posted on a message board. You, Alex and others can, of course, work all you guys like to create a mountain out of this molehill, but the truth is, I just posted my thoughts on a message board. Took only a few seconds. I don't lose sleep over it, I don't think about it otherwise, I don't dwell on it. I just posted my thoughts on a message board. I don't know how else to say it to make it more clear, so believe what you wish. I know the truth. So, I guess, whatever...
ETA: And really, quoting my posts where I added a link relevant to the film, laughed about the love scene I hadn't known about, and posted about how great the Earth is, as proof that I have some sort of issue or complex? Come on, Neph, you're smarter than that. By that logic, every single person who posted in this thread has issues, and that's obviously not the case.
