    Yeah agreed, but even then the plot is simple and unoriginal, but well excecuted and comfortable. A few friends of mine saw Avatar without the 3D, and had no idea what the big deal was.

    Scoring both films on plot alone, out of 5 I would give Avatar 3, and ROTF half of that. I had no idea that Harry Potter was so comparatively unpopular in America though, I guess because it's not home grown.

    It's not really unpopular - most movies earn twice in non-US countries than they do in America, except TFs. Considering the anti-US military sentiment globally lately (a reason for GIJoe movie to be a global unit not a US unit), the TFs movie just did worse outside of the US than it should have.

    forgetting that the story sucked balls could also be a facter as to why

    Breaking news: Well, it's official... Avatar is the highest grossing film of all time, having finally beaten Titanic! Man, this film is a juggernaut!

    I guess ROTF never really had a chance of being the biggest 2009 film!

    I think the title was for highest grossing movie during 2009, not highest grossing 2009 movie. Avatar would indeed be the highest grossing 2009 movie, but during the 2009 calendar year, TF2 earnt more than any other movie in America.

    At last, something that the movie actually deserves.

    Oh yeah without a doubt. It was a really straightforward story, what really drove it was the CG. But it's a story that's been done so many times before...
