So you two are like the Russian Yetis talked about in the other threads, people that like Avatar do exist
I get both sides of the argument but we are getting the extremes in here lately. Of course people had to like the movie, no matter the reason. Even if the story is "flimsy" like some say, it still resonated with some people, so the story still worked for them.
Now I am not a fan of the movie, but even I realize, it had to be more than just one factor to it to make that kind of money.
