No, actually, Avatar is beautiful and fantastic in all ways.
But it'll depend on who you are and what kind of movies you dig as to whether you're really going to like it, honestly.
I'm still having difficulty focusing my thoughts on it yet, but I will come back with something, later. In fact, you may have to ask me to stop talking about it... 
But, without a doubt, see it in the 3-D IMAX version if you can. I normally wouldn't advocate that, but the 3-D effects are really amazing and are used more to create atmosphere (literally in some cases) and mood rather than to just shove things in your face.
Suffice for now to say, if you liked Aliens, Terminator 1 & 2, The Abyss and to a lesser extent Titanic, you really need to see this movie. In IMAX 3-D...
More tomorrow...
One thing to say about Avatar: WOW!!!!!
Ok,, I dont usualy like many of the so called "popular" movies,, I generaly stay away from them because they are just marketing strategies put on film to sell toys of video games.
But Avatar is worth the time. Awsome movie with a nice messege to it.
I dont think everyone will like it,, but I know I LOVED it.
I didnt see it in the IMAX format,, just the regular 2 d,, but even then it was really good.
Usualy when you watch a movie like this its all about the cgi effects and no story.
This is the first time ive sat all the way through a movie with this much cgi and thought it had a damn good story behind it.
I kinda had a feeling that since the usualy pimple brigade didnt like it that it might be a good movie.
It made you think about alot of things that happened during the 1800s with the whites and the Native Americans, or things during the British Expansion.
I guess the Basement Dwellers dont like movies that make you think.
