seriously?

jake is irritating. there's not all that much to him, and his narration is largely needless.

sigourney weaver is the most interesting character of the lot. and she's not all that interesting.

and as for the na'vi? typical nature-loving savages. so wise and in tune with the earth, in contrast with our ignorant cavalier consumerist "intelligence". none of them are actual CHARACTERS. not even archetypes, just simple stereotypes held up as some bland, simplistic ideal.
