Hannity forum posters & Fox hate it. I expect Limbaugh will be frothing over another left lib Hollywood attack on America.
OK, so the politics of “Avatar” are left-wing, anti-corporate and anti-imperialist. There are even some even some indirect digs at George W. Bush and Operation Iraqi Freedom. A left-leaning Hollywood movie: no surprise there. So Third Worlders will eat it up. The Iranians, for example, should love “Avatar”--if, of course, their government would let them see it, which surely won’t happen.
I found the story line predictable and simple, and although long, it was very entertaining movie. I may see it again. One reviewer called it "Dances with Aliens".
I am right of center and I thought it was a great movie. I don't pay attention to the agenda hidden in movies. Most have them and most are left leaning but I still enjoy a great sci-fi fantasy.
I've read - from people who say they've watched it - that aliens are the good guys and humans are the bad guys in the movie, except for one human quisling who joins the aliens, thereby becoming the one human good guy. Thinks of it as "Dances with Aliens". If the script is as anywhere as good as District 9, this movie may make its budget back.

I believe you have to see it to hate it or at least attempt to sit through it to weigh in on it. It just doesn't look like my kind of movie from the TV ads. I'm not big on fantasy movies.
I seen it this weekend. Very pretty graphics to make you go awwwww but other then that it was to long and the action wasnt long enough. I actually enjoyed watching the blindside more
Avatar I think is one of the few movies that will get a lot of press for being bashed on both sides of the political spectrum. That makes me sad since this movie is no more racist than any first-person perspective of life in an aboriginal tribe living off the land with stone-age era weaponry. Further, yeah there was probably some undercurrent of anti-corporation, anti-Bush sentiment in this movie (it was, after all, started shooting when W was still in office), with a not-too-subtle environmentalist tone at one part, but overall this is more of a David vs. Goliath type of movie than anything else.
On the other hand, the fact that it isn't being boycotted and folks from all walks of life are enjoying it speaks volumes of the great middle of America, and most people have better things to do with their time than over-analyzing every little itty bitty thing in a movie.
