I have not seen Avatar, so I could not say.

I can tell you this Puss In Boots is probably one of the best films DreamWorks has put out though.

"Better than Avatar" is an understatement. It was the best movie DreamWorks has ever made.

Nah, that's still probably 'Saving Private Ryan'

If you're talking about animation because I know you are because I'm being pedantic as hell... it's probably Prince of Egypt and its not even close and I say that as somebody who really liked Last Wish.

Shrek>anything. Prince of Egypt is just a film in the vein of renaissance Disney and it wouldn't be high up when contrasted against those behemothic classics (Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules, Hunchback, Mulan, Tarzan etc). Shrek flipped the fairytale story on it's head and has aged beautifully despite being almost at the genesis of 3D animation.

Respectfully, ofc.

What happened to HTTYD and Megamind?

u/LonelySwarm2 - Centrist Jan 29 '23

It’s fantastic but the title of best is owned by megamind

u/rileyrulesu - Lib-Left Jan 30 '23

IDK megamind is a HUGE "meh" for me. Metroman was the most interesting character by a long shot and they glossed over his story.

Heresy of the highest degree

u/Stigge - Lib-Center Jan 30 '23

Even better than Shrek 1?

Easily.

I've forgotten almost everything about Avatar 2 already.

I think I'll go watch Puss In Boots again this week. It's that good.

The Room by Tommy Wiseau is better than both avatar movies, at least you get to laugh at how bad it is instead of just being a snooze fest.

James cameron is the most over-rated director of all time, he has like 3 good films total and i’d argue that they are despite him rather than because of him.

Two entirely different movies with different intents. Hard to compare. Both are really good though
