Avatar vs Alvin and The Chipmunks:The Squeakquel
Posted by Pixelhead
Last weekend I took my daughter to see Alvin and The Chipmunks:The Squeakquel. Now it might not have been a great movie, but I think I liked it better than Avatar. I think it beat out Avatar in two important areas.
First, I love any movie that uses potty humor. The bit when Theodore gets trapped in the “Dutch oven” had me rolling. I don’t remember even one yuck from Avatar.
Secondly, and more importantly, I felt more of an emotional connection to the chipmunks than I did the characters in Avatar.
I may not be the best movie critic, but I do know that I prefer movies where I am able to have some sort of connection to the characters. Emotionally empty movies tend to leave me feeling like I wish I had spent the time and money elsewhere.

Nice opinion.
I think that Avatar is a Colossal with too many important point.
Especially the ideal of colonization of indigenous peoples, due to human history. The defense of populations against the oppressor.
There aren’t humorous insights, but certainly is a film with great human values.
