Probably, Neytiri was prettier. I thought.

I loved seeing Sigourney Weaver in Avatar!

I'm a bit of a fan. Her character Ellen Ripley from the Alien films is without a doubt my nr. 1 female action hero. I mean, that fight she has with the Queen at the end of Aliens? That's like one of my favourite action scenes ever! I thought it was nice to see her back in a James Cameron sci-fi flick.

^ Sigourney Weaver is a definite win!
From the moment I've seen her in The Heartbreakers (not her best movie, but one of my sincere guilty pleasures).

Anyone noticed that reference to Alien in Avatar, with her waking up from the machine, and her first sentence was "Give me a cigarette". Very out of place in the decade we're living in, now that 'smoking in films' is vanishing little by little.

i think she is a really mediocre actor. she has no draw for me.

1.4billion worldwide. Jesus H Christ. Looks like the recession was the best thing to happen to Hollywood in years.

I noticed that right away and chuckled at it, it was pretty funny

You gotta give it to Weaver, she's a charismatic, rather underrated actress, and she's 60 and still really damn hot for that age.

I literally just got back from seeing Avatar. It was absolutely brilliant. James Cameron you've done it again!

I wouldn't call it brilliant in a storytelling context, but certainly in terms of visuals and technical achievement.

It's the most convincing and immersive use of CGI since the original Jurassic Park.
