Avatar was unbelievably pretty; the 3D effects were gorgeous and well integrated although I now have a pounding headache.

The movie itself was composed of the most humiliating, colonial, imperialist, sexist, capitalist, racist, militarist montage I have ever seen. I haven't felt the urge to walk out of a movie in years but I hung in there hoping miserably for a magical fix that didn't come. I am embarrassed on behalf of the human race.

I was actually thinking "among my peer group" rather than "among fans of big budget films"

Ah, I get it now.

(Although the 84% score from Metacritic is from professional critics, who don't necessarily all love big budget cinema in general.)
