Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the movies, everyone wants to take a swipe at James Cameron. yeah, yeah he has produced a couple of the biggest and most beloved movies of all times (Titanic, and Aliens), and has debuted Avatar this year which immediately shot to the top of the charts, but, well, it seems that everyone wants to dethrone the king of the world.

First, you get folks knocking the simplistic nature of the story itself (saying that it is simply fancy CGI laid over an old story) then you have, well nothing short of the Vatican itself calling it “bland”

The

...official Vatican daily L'Osservatore Romano gave it the thumbs down in a review which, among other things, faulted Cameron's storytelling as "bland."

"By concentrating on the creation of Pandora's fantasy world he tells the story without any deeper exploration," the Vatican paper said.

L'Osservatore also lamented that "there is plenty of stupefying, enchanting technology, but few genuine human emotions."

Talk about harsh.

Still, while we certainly love comparing divergent movies to find similarities, even we were hysterical when we read this:

Yep, it’s tough to be the King

The Perfessor
