Avatar: Very very pretty... very James Cameron

Okay it was very very very pretty. And well done...
.
but..

Well, it is still a James Cameron which means an ending, then another ending, then another ending, then a wrap up, then the second half starts.
.
It was an interesting story, made rather two dimensional and flat by us of stupid stereotypes. I think James Cameron is so powerful no one ever says "the bad guys don't have to be 1000% bad". He is a man who doesn't deal in nuance, except visually.
.
But the visuals were amazing, and some of the animated acting was great - which sounds odd, but was true. Sam Worthington does a lot with his voice and face.
