It was one of the most mediocre films I ever saw. Didn't look much better than your average CGI fest.

1. It's James Cameron, and for some reason people flock to him no matter what he does. Sometimes he's good, sometimes he's average like Avatar.

2. It broke new group in the 3D craze, and it happened right around the peak of that craze.

Other than that, there's no real explanation. The story is old and has been retold over a dozen times in movies that were far better. It always left me confused

Although this I have to call you out on. It definetly looked better than any CGI that had been done before, but that was the only thing going for it

It looked pretty awesome. If you don't ask anything more of it than eye candy, you're going to have a good time.

I have never met a single person that has ever said it was anything more than pretty good. It was the highest grossing movie of all time because everybody said it was going to be.

This. When it came out there was nothing like it at the time. The CGI was amazing.

Uh when it first came out it was definitely top notch CGI. Nothing came close.

Oh, thought you meant the most excellent cartoon.

It was a CGI-fest. Supposedly great in 3D but, having seen in 2D, I wasn't impressed. In general it was just Space Fern Gully.
