ten year later, we will remember avatar as a bad film with the same old plot.

avatar critics never use logical fallacies, also avatar is a terrible movie because it is the same as dances with wolves

criticizing something for being unoriginal isn't a logical fallacy.

and redlettermedia didn't say the movie was terrible, watch all the way to the conclusion

The difference is that no one is saying that Avatar is terrible solely because it's unoriginal. In fact, the reviewer kind of liked parts of Avatar.

On the other hand, I've seen plenty of "avatar is the highest-grossing movie ever so it's the best" which is a logical fallacy, argumentum ad populum.

If you judge best as "film that the most people in our era liked", then yes highest grossing international would be a strong indicator.

Now if you want "film that you liked the best" then you might need different barometers. And just cause I know someones going to bring it up yes I said of our era. There are a huge number of factors that are different from modern filmmaking/viewing and gone with the wind flimmaking/viewing.

It's not the highest in sales when adjusted for inflation. It's not even in the top 10. So....

"Jim's going to write a novel himself, based on Avatar," Landau revealed to MTV, saying that Cameron's vision of the book "is a big, epic, story that fills in a lot of things that we won't have time to do in the movie; maybe even in sequels."

Avatar, the biggest grossing film ever, looks familiar, says Square Enix's Motomu Toriyama, director of Final Fantasy XIII. A little too familiar.

"The in-game universe this time around is quite fantasy based, but also futuristic at the same time," Toriyama told website Tech Digest in a recent interview. "We never really had any particular reference points for Final Fantasy XIII, in terms of places where we drew inspiration from. That said, we're a little suspicious that the world famous Avatar movie might have take inspiration from us!"
