In what is, for me, the best story of the year, Avatar has garnered criticism from liberals, conservatives, the Marine Corps, the Vatican and its own fans for being too white-washed, too critical, too stereotypical, too sacrilegious and too beautiful for mere humans, respectively.
And here I was thinking the plot was basic--what a fool I was! Turns out it's actually deeply offensive on a number of levels I could have never predicted. Oh well!

“Let's view Avatar for what it is, a leap in the wizardry of cinema, a digital fantasy and a vehicle for a filmmaker to make a statement, but not emblematic of the Marines who honourably fight and fall to win our nation's real battles today.”
more important than any of that.. it is offensive because it sucks.
