A lot of people got disappointed with "Avatar" losing to "Hurt Locker" on lot of awards. Personally, I liked both the movies a lot but they seem to be in a different genre. Avatar was more of a commercial movie with tons of CGI, where as Hurt Locker was more off an offbeat drama with great acting, amazing story and great direction.
Which side are you? Avatar or Hurt Locker?

comments
Biased and one sided is this review. the story of avatar is easily one of its strongest points, and the critics are massivley over-critical. where hurt locker got repetitive and dull. The story is one of the best ive ever seen, because its simple, and as for an ecofreindly message pushed down our throats, thats wrong.
