Avatar vs Sherlock Holmes

Avatar won by a single vote at 5 vs Sherlock Holmes at 4.

Which did I vote for? Avatar.

Alright why Avatar? Or more so what was the uproar over the movie. First of all, there is the whole 15 years in the making as well as the 50 million dollar budget! Right back to the important facts. Avatar had amazing graphic and designs that wowed audiences. Every single creature and plant was brought to life by the animators and at the end of the movie, I was pulled into the magic that was Pandora, the planet where the entire movie takes place on. Of course, we can't deny that the lead actor was hot as the alien ; ) Sorry...digressing. Ofcourse, the fight scenes were brilliant and any military, gun slinging, nut case would love the military talk as well as weapons used. But in my opinion, what drew the audience to the movie in the first place was not the fight scenes or the whole fight for our planet jazz. It was the underlying tale of two people who fell in love that drew masses of audiences to come to love it. Watching the two lead actors portray emotions of lovers restricted in an alien setting just promises to be an oscar award winning performance. Well it did win 2 oscars ; )

Now Sherlock Holmes. Now now, don't get me wrong. I love Sherlock Holmes as well. Come on, I read the series! But one cannot deny that both Avatar and Sherlock Holmes are both from two different categories and both reign as kings of their individual categories. Don't ask me what categories...it's just a figure of speech! Anyways,Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law carried the movie through with their amazing acting skills as well as charismatic charm. As Robert Downey Jr mentioned at the Oscars, "The directors know that without me Sherlock Holmes would have eaten Avatar's dust." Well it is true. The two lead actors had chemistry on screen that could be very obviously seen. Furthermore, Robert Downey Jr's antics and particular way of speaking never fails to amuse. He's mind scenes are extremely entertaining. If you have watched the movie, you would know which I speak of; the one where he's in a boxing match and he imagines delivering the punches...yes you should know if you've watched it and if you haven't ....WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!?!

So both movies are brilliant but Avatar would be my choice. Anyways, here's another movie to look out for.
