People on the internet these days tend to think just because you don't line up with their view of what you should express, you're about to blow a gasket, which would be hilarious if it weren't so sad.

      I don't think anyone really cares about that movie anymore. Sure the visuals were amazing for its time, but that's the only thing it really had going for it. Everything else about it was incredibly dull and generic. It was little more than a long tech demo that showcased how far VFX have come.
      It lived and died by hype. Visuals aren't enough for a movie to be placed among the greatest movies *of all time*, when the technologies used to make them become obsolete so quickly

      @@Darticus42 see...thatndoest really make sense. I mean..the reason it's considered the greatest of all times is for the reason that you stated..in it's time it was awesome.
      Of course people found things better as time went along...but those movies mostly have duplicates. Other movies that incorporates the same ideas within the same time.
      Matrix came with a plot and visuals that were great and no one else did it that way.
      Like...the ps1 is considered the greatest console of all time...even though ps2, 3 and Xbox 360 and one does what it did and better. That doesn't take away from the fact that in its time it was innovative, creative, unique. All that earned it it's title. And people..like me who honestly thought we could never get anything better than the quality that ps1 games got....i don't even play those games much anymore. I play them...but I can admit that we have better quality now. That I may play them in passing and from nostalgia...but...i .ca enjoy it for...the time it was created. A time when it was the greatest.
      There are boxers who could beat Ali today. And there are dancers who can outdance Michael Jackson and basketball players who can probably break down Jordan, but we still call those people the greatest. That's because in their time...they were. And they brought something then that no one saw before. A quality that was innovative, new, or unique. And everything afterwards seems to be built upon their ideas. And so...maybe if it weren't for them...we wouldn't have the quality of games, movies, fighters, players, etc...today.
      You need to understand what makes something the greatest of all time. It's found in the concept.

    Avatar was just an okay film to me. It was amazing at the time because the CGI and 3D blew me away, but looking at it now it's just way too long and an okay romance, scifi film. It's a chore to watch through now.

      Explicit Tech Let me tell you a little secret: nobody likes Avatar. When it came out, yeah people loved it, but today, nobody gives a shit about it.

      The one time I saw it, I was picking out tropes left and right. Actually using the name "Unobtainium" for its Unobtainium, however, made it really hard to take seriously. My reaction to that was "Whoever wrote this spends way too much time at TV Tropes!", and this is coming from a guy who is rarely without at least a few TV Tropes tabs open in his browser.

    I agree with you on Citizen Kane. I have the utmost respect for the acting, cinematography, and the amazing feat accomplished by then-24 year old Orson Welles in making this film. I am a HUGE old movie buff, so people who know me automatically assume I LOVE CK. They are shocked to find out I don’t. Out of Welles oeuvre, I much prefer The Magnificent Ambersons (even though that was butchered during editing).
