I wanted to like it before-hand, I've been waiting on this for what seems like forever, not only did it NOT disappoint, it really exceeded my expectations...it was visually stunning- not just eye candy; it was eye cocaine...it had all of the elements that I desire in a movie, I really got my nerd on...wasn't expecting the emotional impact, I am learning that James Cameron's movies are effective because of the attachments we quickly develop for his characters...another thing I really liked: I feel satisfied with this movie, I dont need to see 5 more from this franchise- the story was told...the end.
