What you're saying is true, but remember that all of the Avatar movies
were planned at nearly the same time. They will most likely not "push the
movie's luck until it's as dry as a raisin," like what happened to Shrek.

(all your home tree are belong to us)

Along come the dreaded sequels...

I hope this won't be like Hellboy 2 all over again...

I know you are saying that you can "Objectively call Avatar the best", but there is no such thing as an objective opinion, for that would be a contradiction. You CAN however say that it has the best income, but calling something the "best" would be too vague and would generally be an opinion.

Anyways, in my perspective, there is no such thing as "the best movie."
There is only one's favorite movie, no matter what the plot is, no matter
who the actor was, no matter how many people watched it, etc.

Either you like it or you don't, and you have your own separate reasons
why. Sure, you can judge a movie by how it was made physically, such as
graphics, but everyone has their own interests in types of movies.

but there is no such thing as an objective opinion

I know. Good thing I wasn't talking about an opinion.

It was best, if you consider the purpose of a movie - to make money.

Edit: Also, I found this while searching: http://boxofficemojo.com/alltime/adjusted.htm
Avatar's 12th place if you adjust for inflation.

Movie prices are one of the many things that go up slower than the rate of inflation, much like computer prices and the prices of snacks, although that doesn't invalidate your find.

Anyways, I wasn't using facts to justify my opinion (seriously, why does everyone keep misinterpreting things?) I was using facts to say that you can in fact truthfully, objectively call Avatar the "best" movie.

You got a new italic font thing going on now eh?

Swaffy uses blue, I see someone here use bold, I might as well go for my own style  :-P

Actually I was talking about how A Guy was backing his opinion with box office sales  :-P

Oh. Got it.
Technically it was Cameron's opinion he was trying to prove, though.

Simple, you can't back up an opinion like a fact. Just because you feel something, doesn't mean that you should be defending how you feel from other people, because they can't change your opinion. It's like trying to protect a princess in an unbreakable castle. Since the castle is unbreakable, you don't need to worry about it, but you still send troops out. Don't try to back your opinion with facts, because opinions can't fight.
