13. No! Duh! Really?!
Comparing Pan's Labrynith to Avatar is like comparing Château Lafite to Thunderbird.

6. I agree completely.
A bunch of Avatar fanboys jumped down my throat a few days ago for daring to criticize this movie.

I guess when you blow hundreds of millions on CGI, you don't need a plot or developed characters.

The CGI was wasted.

11. "It's CGI trash..."
"...but its fanboys will oversell a half-assed liberal/progressive message in order to get people to see it so they don't feel so bad for having wasted money on tickets.

18. I saw this movie before ...

...when it had Kevin Costner in it once again role playing his white guilt while completely missing the point.
