My response to those is first of all, it's not boring to me! second of all, it's a little to long but I don't mind; I don't really agree about the CGI; and I don't think the characterization/dialogue is really all that detrimental to it.

Here's what I wrote on Facebook after finally breaking down and deciding to watch Avatar.

"Finally gave in and decided to watch Avatar. I wish I hadn't. lol The first half hour or so is good but then they introduce the Na'Vi and the cgi gets way too distracting. I stick by my previous statement that it looks like a video game. Then there's all that hippie tree hugger bullshit that goes on forever."

I've seen every Coen bros. film and have to say I really liked A Serious Man. Didn't like the Ladykillers or Intolerable Cruelty though. I also wonder if we're going off audience reputation or critical reception, because I think A Serious Man got a best picture nom.

Speaking of best picture noms., I don't think the Help deserved the amount of praise it received, and I do not think it deserved to edge out Drive, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and a few others that I'm forgetting for a BP nom.

POTC: 2, 3, 4, were all mehs for me. I liked the first one.

HP: I liked all of them, actually. I would probably rank them 3, 8, 2 (yeah I liked two for some reason...), 4, 6, 5, 1, 7.

I really liked The Help, but don't get all the praise thrown at Drive. I thought it was alright, but nothing special. Loved The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo though, even though it wasn't as good as the original.

I thought it was really good, but I can't watch it anymore. I had no idea how much animal cruelty was involved in that movie. I knew going in that one of the stories was about dog fighting, but I had no idea how graphic and realistic it was going to be. Broke my heart to watch it.
