That's basically the story,it's having a cowboy to go to the Indians then the Cowboy wants to be one so he goes on there side.

There was a lot of underlying sci fi stuff that was quite interesting and could be expanded on though. The graphics were outstanding, a graphic artists wet dream.

That's dumb. They should just leave it as a one time thing. Being the most popular movie since Titanic, I fear they may ruin the reputation of Avatar with a sucky sequel.

[sarcasm]Ohh! God! Hopefully the reputation isn't ruined! :cry[/endsarcasm] Really?

"Cameron said his inspiration was "every single science fiction book I read as a kid", and that he was particularly striving to update the style of Edgar Rice Burroughs's John Carter series. The director has acknowledged that Avatar shares themes with the films At Play in the Fields of the Lord, The Emerald Forest, and Princess Mononoke, which feature clashes between cultures and civilizations, and with Dances With Wolves, where a battered soldier finds himself drawn to the culture he was initially fighting against."

No it isn't the most original story, but it is told in an exceptionally effective and spectacular way. Cameron did Aliens and Terminator 2; I'm quite confident in his ability to make decent sequels.

Ahhh I was wondering about the many 6 legged creatures and the costumes reminded me the stuff in Princess of Mars.

IF they do make a sequel, hopefully they dont rush it out just to make quick money.

Cameron is a perfectionist. He said in an interview that even if he started on the sequel right now it would be three years before it was finished. Avatar means more to Cameron than just money. Money stopped being a problem for him a long time ago.

I don't think they have the rights without Cameron's approval. After Terminator Cameron has been very strict on what rights he will give to the studio producing his films. He had to sell the right to the Terminator franchise to fund the film, and he is not too happy with what they've done with it.

Still waiting for the sequel to Titanic.  Then again, the first one was so predictable I don't know if I could handle a sequel...

Let me get this right. Your saying to not have the #1 movie in the world that made millions of dollars,that took years to make. To not have a sequel.

To be fair...there are just so many ways you can do a sequel to a blood and guts shoot'em up movie with the same characters...just look at Crank/Crank2...The Transporter...The Terminator...Smoking Aces/Smoking Aces 2...Kill Bill/Kill Bill2...and the list goes on...if you can't make it better, put more action into it.
