The Best Review of ‘Avatar’ I’ve Ever Seen

By Allie Townsend | @Allie_Townsend | February 1, 2010 | +

Sick of Avatar yet? Good, because you’re going to want to see this.

This two-part Avatar analysis is half rant, half film facade breakdown. More than a comical comparison of James Cameron’s block busting techniques, it breaks down the plots, sub plots and character development to explain why the entire world has been sucked under the $2 million blue umbrella.

For example:

“You’ve been played by a Hollywood snake oil salesman for the cash in your wallet, you fools! Take your Prozac and get back in the toll booth.”

From Red Letter Media – who brought us an amazing look at train wreck The Phantom Menace – the same slobbery-voiced old man with a twinge of a mental handicap delivers a jab-by-jab review of Avatar that’s amusingly honest.

If this doesn’t beat any review you’ve come across, I’m just not sure what will.

This guy is amazing. Not sure if it’s better than the Star Wars reviews or not, but the first couple of minutes from part 2 of this one is just about the funniest thing I’ve seen so far this year.

This is pretty hilarious (though the Star Wars one is better), and I actually enjoyed the movie. I realize this is comedy, but I disagreed with his view that the Na’vi are nonviolent. They do live in a sort of harmony with nature as hunter-gatherers, but they were constantly ready to attack the humans (in defense I suppose) whenever they got the chance. It’s not a positive or negative attribute for or against them; just a more realistic evaluation.

Not only does this guy give the best movie reviews, but he also kinda sounds like Kevin from “The Office.” Bonus!

Holy crap! I loved that movie and now I hate it. What an incredible review!

Actually, I still like the movie, and I did notice some of the political “messages” it spewed, but I never thought about it in the depth this guy seems to have. I was laughing so hard at his comments I had to send a link to this to my friends.

That was awesome!
