Disney's Pocahontas Was Better

It's basically the same story, just on an alien planet and with less dimensional characters.

Why Pocahontas was better:

  • Better songs.
  • Prettier animation (I'm an animated movie person). Except for the glowing plants, those were cool.
  • It acknowledged that both groups had flaws, that they were both acting out of fear, etc. The natives weren't automatically "perfect" by the sole virtue of their being natives.
  • It's less preachy.
  • It had the excuse of being Based On A True Story.
  • The main characters were much less annoying.

Pro Tip: When you have a movie in the works for ten years, you can do better than a ridiculously cliched Excuse Plot and Flat Characters.

Normally, I'd dissect these well worn points and point out exactly which fallacious arguments you used, but honestly, given the quality of this review, there's only one thing that can adequately express how inept and out of touch this review is:

Troll harder.

Reviewing movies is a lot like Paleontology: The Evidence is there...but no one seems to agree upon it.

I find that when people respond to your review by pretending like they're too cool to respond to your review, they actually have nothing to say.

Pocahontas was awesome btw. Now humming Colours of the Wind.

^They weren't very memorable...

^There was like one, at the end, over the credits.

I don't think that counts, really. But it also wasn't very memorable either.

Sex is better than Pocohontas. Is there a point?

Well the score in general was rather for Avatar.
