Avatar 'could have been terrible'

Hollywood director James Cameron believes his digital movie spectacular Avatar would have been “terrible” if it was live-action.

...

“Here’s the thing: if it had been in live action, she would have been in blue make-up and it would not have had the power,” Cameron said. “Her eyes would not have been those eyes.

“The blue make-up would have looked terrible. I know – every time I go to a convention where someone decides they’re going to be a Na’vi, I’m reminded why we didn’t do it.”

hmm...I don't think it would have been anywhere near as amazing as it was, but I doubt it would actually be bad, it's too well written for that and really, Zoe and Sam are both amazing actors.

Don't like the comment about people going as Na'vi though... we do our best, but it's not easy
