District 9: Cost less than $30 million to make, had fantastic acting, writing, directing and was one of the better movies I've seen over the last 10 years with somewhat impressive visuals.

Avatar: (you know where this is going right?) Cost around $500 million to make, had some of the worst acting, writing, directing and was one of the worst movies I've seen in my whole life despite the somewhat impressive visuals.

Without having seen Avatar I think this pretty much cuts to the quick of the difference between the two. It's pretty bad when I can't even make it through a trailer!

I did just see a korean film from 2000 or so called Peppermint Candy ..that was pretty good!
