Yeah, I thought the plot was exactly what it needed to be. Out of the way. Something that didn't distract me from the pretty.

Certainly Avatar made major coin so by that measure it was a success but I had no desire to see it a second time or to purchase the blu-ray. A more involving story would have changed that for me an I expect a lot of others.

I've seen some of the dailies from the original Star Wars, If I'd seen those at the time, I'd have bet heavily the film was going to bomb. Yet that was a case were it all came together well.

On the other side, I'll bet the dailies from the Phantom Menace looked great if for no other reason that Jar-Jar was not in them yet....

I was an extra in two crowd scenes in Howard the Duck. From what little I saw, it was clear at the time that the movie would be a stinker.

In my opinion,Star Wars didn't come together well. The amazing parts redeemed the dull parts.

Well, when you get down to it, aren't there only seven basic plots anyways?
