Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy discussion

I liked Avatar much more. I thought the graphics were incredible. Alice in Wonderland appealed to my "I heart Tim Burton" side, though. It was enjoyable, but Avatar was really good.

I liked Avatar. I wasn't really interested to see Alice except maybe for the graphics.

I loved Alice in Wonderland. I never saw Avatar

Vise versa...I loved Avatar (saw it in 3-D). I haven't seen Alice in Wonderland.

Loved Avatar - Alice in Wonderland was okay...

I like Avatar better but I only liked Alice in Wonderland becaeuse Johnny Depp was in it.

Saw both movies in 3-D, however I was extremely lucky to be able to see Alice at an IMAX which was incredible. However as to which was better, the answer, hands down, is AVATAR. That movie was positively phenomenal. The graphics were awesome the 3-D part was subtle and not "in your face" which was great, and the story was, though admittingly predictable, still a very good one. I was blown away, I loved it. =]

Alice in Wonderland on the other hand was.. interesting. I enjoyed watching the movie however at the end of it there were several questions I had that went unanswered and I felt like something was lacking from it.

I'm another person who didn't go to see Avatar. Although, I didn't truly want to go see it in the first place.
I loved Alice in Wonderland, but it was probably because it was my first movie in 3-D, and I spent the entire 2 hours trying to dodge the things that were coming at me. LOL.
I found one fault with Alice In Wonderland, however: Johnny Depp often speaks very quickly, and with the accent he used, it was hard to understand him. But, he made up for it at the end of the movie, with that dance.

Saw both in 3D and Avatar wins hands down. It's like comparing Thanksgiving dinner with a McDonald's happy meal. Avatar was substantial, while Alice was fun.

But I will say that Alice would have been half the move it was without Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter--that man is just insanely talented in such a fun, wonderful, quirky way. :)

Avatar was the better movie but I still liked Alice. Was the a great movie? No, but I didn't go in expecting that I just wanted to be entertained and I was

I couldn't see Alice in 3-D (I have epilepsy...) My kids were not happy about having to see it normally...lol

Alice is amazing!!

I didn't think the effects were the story. They made the story more fantastical.. Other worldly. Phenomenal

i've seen both movies avatar's effects were better hands down but i prefered alice cause i liked the story better, johnny depp was outstanding

I saw both. Avatar has better graphics and effects, but the story was not good and seemed to be recycled from other stories.

Alice was wonderfully written and completely original (and it was based on a previously written book and even a movie). I will admit that the graphics were not as good as Avatar.

I will probably purchase Alice on DVD. Have no desire to ever see Avatar again.

Johnny Depp's acting was outstanding. He plays an excellent crazy person. The eyes freaked me out.

AVATAR all the way its better and actually makes sense and has totally BADASS graphics i would HEART being an AVATAR!!!

I thought Avatar was great graphically, disappointed that the story was so predictable. I was surprised with Alice on story ( I guess I had expected it to follow exactly like the childrens book) but the graphics weren't as good, but I had seen it at the drive-in, which sometimes isn't the greatest.

Avatar was really good but Alice in
Wonderland was fantastic, Johnny Depp wins hands down! lol

I loved them both for different reasons....I thought they were both amazing films. Avatar had an awesome message though.

I enjoyed both movies but I do think that Avatar was better. I agree that Alice in Wonderland left a lot of unanswered questions.

I think Alice in Wonderful was more visually striking, but I definitely enjoyed Avatar better.

Alice in Wonderland was cute, but it put me to sleep. Definitely more suitable for a younger audience I would say.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND KICKS AVATARS BUTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!1

Lol nooo way. There's no way that Alice kicked Avatar butt. There is no comparison and no question

Hrm... apples and oranges. If we're going by graphics alone, Avatar definitely wins. Cameron really pioneered some amazing new technology for the movie.

The stories and the intentions of both films, though, are so different that it's hard to compare them. Avatar's story is a very commonly recycled one, and while it works, it is kind of trite. I enjoyed it, but I was definitely aware that I was watching something like Fern Gully or Dances With Wolves in space. Alice, on the other hand, is definitely a Burton film. It was quirky and strange, and while it did have some problems, I enjoyed it, too. :)

(Forgive me, I just came out of a semester of film studies, lol)

I enjoyed both movies, but I liked Avatar way better only because the characters were more developed, even though the plot was a bit predicable and I really liked the special effects.

Alice in Wonderland was pretty good too, but it felt like Alice's character was too downhearted or something like that, meaning that she doesn't seem to have any emotion in any of the events she was in and I couldn't relate to her that much even though I loved the idea that Tim Burton made her into a stronger person than in the original books. But I thought that the graphics were really good though!!

I vote Avatar. I just didn't get Alice in Wonderland.

yup

I vote for None of the Above! I didn't care for either movie, but I did love Johnny Depp though.

I really wanted to like Avatar, but I it was too long & too boring. I thought it was 45 minutes too long.

"Avatar" would win for me, hands down.
