If after all this hype Cameron’s movie actually does turn out to be a 90 minute movie about little 70×70 images, Cameron’s the bravest mo-fo in the business.

You know if Cameron thinks he can make a movie about those pictures by your name, he crazy.
Doesn’t matter if its 3-D, it will fail !!!

It’s all hype in one form or another. You can’t just define hype as something that applies specifically to this one situation, I get what you’re saying, but it’s all hype.

@Ken

Theres a difference between the hype for Avatar and just how much public awareness there is over a movie. While Avatar may not have as much public awareness as say, Terminator Salvation, or Transformers 2, it has a whole lot more hype surrounding it because Cameron et al are toting it as THE cinema experience of the decade, a revolutionary movie that’ll be one of the most original and greatest things you will ever see. So much so that out of the people who actually do know about it, a good portion of them really believe it’s going to be everything it’s being toted as.

That’s hype.

I don’t know, for those of you who claim this is getting so over-hyped, I disagree. Most people I ask don’t even know about this movie. I say “Avatar” and they think I’m saying James Cameron is making a movie about the cartoon. Transformers 2 definitely has more hype than Avatar, by far. It has more hype than Terminator too. It’s kind of sad actually that such a “just ok” movie can be so highly anticipated by so many people… I guess that’s why nobody actually spends the time to make quality movies anymore, why bother? Gimmicks will earn just as much money, if not more…

Um, why do so many people talk about the red and blue 3D. Serious question, because I havne’t seen that type of 3D for YEARS… Do people still use it??
