blew my socks off

I've been pretty tough on movies lately and had modest expectations when I saw Avatar in IMAX 3-D. I was wrong. The movie is pure genius. The love (and money) put into this entertainment are apparent and obvious from start to finish. Don't be put off by nit-picky reviewers like me who search for flaws. Avatar is the reason to go back to the movies -- at least until they bring out an IMAX 3D home unit with 40,000 watts of surround sound. See it. See it again. I know I will until I find my socks.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

What?

I can't believe the reviews this movie is getting -- or the money it's making. The first 45 minutes are brilliant, but, in the end, they only highlight the muddle it's become at the end. It feels like a script put together by a committee of consultants after watching a focus group of alcholics. ("This doesn't make any sense unless we put a speech explaining it over here.") If this is what $250 million buys in 2008, the age of the blockbuster is in real trouble. However, Robert Downey Jr. is terrific and lights up the screen whenever he's around. His performance is worth an extra star.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
