    Wrath of Khan gets 91%

      When it came out, Gene Weingarten compared it to the utter dreck produced in the early days of cinema, citing a "film" that was just footage of people doing pratfalls for a couple of minutes. The point being that people will drastically lower their standards where novel technology is concerned. Our kids, raised on (hopefully) less abysmally stupid movies made with the same if not better technology, will laugh at the rave reviews for Avatar.

        You let your own personal bias color your judgement too much. It makes you a poor critic. Avatar had many redeeming qualities that made up for its generic/recycled plot, which in itself, isn't a good criticism.
