Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes:
"As a fantasy epic, Avatar is an undeniable victory ... but outside of the narrow confines of immersion he's managed, it's also quite limited."
"As adventure movies go, it is impressively new in every way except the way that matters most -- storytelling. Its look will last. But its heart won't go on."

  1. Aishia, a great start. I can see the connections between the first two films but Avatar seems quite different. Perhaps you could think again about another film.

    Good research to build on, the next stage will be poster and trailer analysis.

    Well done!
