This is one of the best lawyer movies I've seen. From beginning to end entertaining and engaging. I like how the movie explores how what we do (profession) is and should be seperate from who we are (character).
James Cameron is an innovator. He creates a world that is an integration of live-action and computer enhanced performances. While many may feel the story line is predictable-- an indigenous people with resources coveted by a more "civilized" race; his interpretation is a new and inventive master piece of new filmmaking technologies. Even if you are a critic of the message--we are all connected and everything we do affects one another; this movie is worth seeing and you WILL be talking about it long after you have left the theatre.
I enjoyed this movie—I did not however, love this movie. The pacing is slow at the beginning and when it picks up the pace is overwhelming to the story line. This makes the movie seem unbalanced at times and awkward. I felt the story line was sacrificed in the pursuit of creating action. The action sequences are classic Guy Ritchie—intricate, heart pounding, and explosive. But when you lose the thread of the story the action is just there; not adding to the complete telling of the story. SO, this is a good movie…just not a great one.
