I feel that Avatar has decent reviews only because of the phenomenon of "well shit, they put sooo much money into it and it didn't make me want to die... I don't want to harsh the groove."

District 9 was an entirely original story with incredible characterization and development. I mean if anything the big fight scenes might have detracted from the experience, sort of kowtowing to the general movie going populaces desire for shit that blows up.

All Avatar was, was shit that blows up. Blows up beautifully and artfully, but it's a work of narrative fiction not a painting.
