Just when the movie market is dominated by "Avatar", in the past two days, most entertainment media in North America, Europe, and China have been dominated by "Avatar"-related film reviews.
Readers were very enthusiastic about it and couldn't get enough of reading these movie reviews. Once some newspapers did not have "Avatar", sales immediately dropped severely.
As a result, "Avatar" is everywhere in the entire entertainment media.
Karen, the film critic of "London Entertainer" commented: "The scenery on Pandora is so realistic that it is fascinating, and the colorful and strange animals and plants are stunningly beautiful. There are huge trees dozens of stories high, dotted mountains, and waterfalls.
, as well as the insects and trees that glow at night, are all breathtaking. And its details are also perfect, such as the equipment used by humans, which is so advanced that it is exciting; there are also Na'vi people who drive heavy armored horses, and winged animals.
Long's approach is also very creative. When watching the movie, it's like waiting for surprises to be revealed. Director Hua Xia is really amazing and far exceeded everyone's expectations."
Film critic Amohan of "Bollywood Film News" commented: "After returning from the cinema, my brain is still a mess. I was shocked by Avatar. I really don't know how to write this review.
If you go to see it for the 3D special effects, it is definitely worth the ticket price; if you go to see it for the plot, you will still earn back the ticket price. This is a revolutionary movie, and you will probably regret it if you don’t watch it.
lifelong."
Zhou Billy, a famous film critic of "China Film News", commented: "The excellent surround sound in the cinema, with the roaring sounds of war and fierce music, constantly impacts the audience's eardrums! The heart also beats powerfully!!
At the end of the movie, the audience still didn't wake up from the tragic and no-turn-back battle. When they left their seats, the exciting music was still ringing in their heads. There was also the fierce and passionate counterattack!! This is a shocking movie.
Movie!!"
Kawakami Juto, a well-known sci-fi film critic contracted by "Tokyo Entertainment", commented: "After watching "Avatar", I had a strong sense of the gap from dream to reality. This feeling is rare in my memory of watching movies.
.If "Avatar" can be recorded in the history of movies, it must be because of its breakthrough progress in technology. I remember that I had to take off my glasses several times during the 120-minute 3D movie to relieve the soreness and discomfort of my eyes.
But after watching "Avatar" for three hours, I didn't feel any visual fatigue at all."
There was a lot of praise, but there were also many media outlets that expressed opposition and criticized the film.
A film critic from "Variety" commented: "The movie "Avatar" is like other movies that win with special effects. The special effects are top-notch, but the plot is pale. It cannot give me the same feeling as "Titanic" did.
Such soul resonance cannot give me the sense of scientific wonder that "12 Monkeys" did, nor can it give me the deep emotion that "Forrest Gump" did."
Another film critic was also quite rude, criticizing the whole movie for not only the pictures but the pictures, and the plot being rotten.
However, this kind of comment was quickly drowned out by other favorable media comments.
Santes, a special critic of "The Hollywood Reporter" commented: "Some newspapers said that the plot of "Avatar" is pale. That is because its critics did not watch the movie carefully. This movie not only moved me, but also made me feel...
This kind of supernatural energy allows a mortal like me to leave the body even for a short period of time, and like the male protagonist Jack who is paralyzed from the lower limbs in the film, he can see his own humanity from the eyes of another planet."
Sweet, a contracted film critic of "The Chicago Press" commented: "'Avatar' is not only about the audio-visual effects, but also about environmental protection. It also talks about love between men and women, courage and responsibility, freedom and justice, war and peace, development and colonization.
Savagery and civilization, etc. Who said this movie has no plot? Who said this movie is pale? I express my utmost contempt for such Zhuangbility people!!"
"The Boston Globe" - ""Avatar" truly vividly portrays the kindness and sadness of the heroine, a blue-eyed alien, when faced with the confusion and fear of human aircraft and cannons, and when witnessing the death of her lover,
The painful and distorted face deeply hurt the hearts of the audience; especially in the climax, the angry cavalry of Pandora indigenous people braved the hail of bullets and bravely lined up to rush towards the human mechanical troops. Human-sized caliber missiles, machine guns, and cannons
Covering it ruthlessly, this tragic scene. How can it not remind people of the helplessness and determination of the 20,000 cavalrymen under Senggelinqin's inevitable charge towards the British and French forces? If this can be considered a plot blank, I have nothing to say.
.”
The famous film critic Sartos wrote a long comment on his IMDB review: ""Avatar" has a heavy and heavy feeling. It reminds me of the movie that an Indian chief gave to the film in Washington, D.C. in 1854.
The big leader wrote this sentence: 'If we give up this land and transfer it to you, you must remember: this land is sacred.' He and his people have exhausted their last strength.
They bleed, they sacrifice, they wail, they roar, they are on the verge of annihilation... No one hears their wails and roars, and no one cares about this ancient tribe that is on the verge of annihilation."
"In addition to the ugliness of racial colonization, there is another thing revealed in the movie. I remember that the protagonist in the movie said this to Pandora: 'Look at our world, there are no green plants there, they kill
"The parents who raised them died," and we humans are doing such a stupid thing now. The forests are gradually decreasing day by day, exhaust gas is gradually filling the entire sky, the ozone hole is getting bigger and bigger, and desertification is gradually accelerating."
In short, the reviews of "Avatar" are almost one-sided, and most of the media that speak against it are aimed at attracting readers.
As for the box office, without official statistics, professional filmmakers already know it. It was shown for five consecutive days, and it was hard to get a ticket all over the world except in remote places. The attendance rate was almost 100%, plus 3D
With the terrifying ticket prices of IMAX, the one-day box office is absolutely exaggerated and terrifying!!
Putting aside speculation and starting from reality, from the 23rd to the 27th, it was released for five consecutive days. According to statistics from the world's most authoritative North American box office statistics agency, "Avatar" gained a total of 100,000 in the global market during these five days of release.
Nearly $2 billion!!
The best "Titanic" in history? Sorry, its anus will explode in just one day.
However, movie fans and filmmakers are not shocked at all by the US$2 billion, because these days, they have been shocked to the point of numbness. Even if some experts predict that "Avatar" can get a total box office of US$4 billion, they will still choose
believe.
Some people are happy while others are sad. The ones that feel the most miserable are "Teddy Bear", "Brave" and "Untouchable", which are "committing crimes against the wind". These three movies were all released around Christmas.
The purpose is to take advantage of the momentum of "Avatar" and go against the trend to occupy more film schedules at a time when there are relatively few movies in theaters, in order to achieve higher box office.
The ideal is full and the reality is backbone.
Although the styles of the three movies are different from "Avatar", although they are all excellent and highly rated by fans, but...their box office is appallingly low! Not much better than those movies that have been released for a long time!!
Only then did they suddenly realize that the attention and money of the entire movie market had been attracted to "Avatar". Movie fans would rather not watch them, save their money, and then watch "Avatar" again.
Movie fans who are lucky enough to grab "Avatar" movie tickets three or four times in a row are willing to watch it again and again, and they will not get bored at all from watching "Avatar" multiple times.
The entire movie market, except for "Avatar", is full of mourners...
"Men in Black", "Total Recall", "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" and other movies that were scheduled to be released in January saw that the movie market was so miserable, and they also broke out in a cold sweat, and began to hesitate whether to move their schedules later...

PS: Explain the box office of 2 billion in 5 days. In the first week of 2009, the global box office of "Avatar" was 1.3 billion. Combined with the global economic depression caused by the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis, combined with the world entertainment in the novel being relatively developed, 2 billion is not enough.
