Avatar is a game-changer. Just as Toy Story ended hand-drawn animation, Avatar makes 2D filmmaking look dated. The 3D isn't a gimmick but integral to every frame. The plot is simple, the acting excellent, and the whole thing is so gloriously beautiful it nearly moved me to tears.

Pirates of the Caribbean was a thin, disappointing soup with historically ignorant Caribbean portrayals. Superman Returns, though, was pure joy: Singer finally got Clark and Lois right, Routh is genuinely believable as Superman, and the flying effects are perfect. I loved this movie unreservedly.
