the Christian movie review sites? Although I found the somewhat entertaining AVATAR very predictable and sort of a traditional compilation of the associated genres ("Dances with Aliens" plus "Pocahantas" as some reviewers described it), I was amazed at how extremely many of the Christian movie reviewer websites reviled AVATAR. (The creatures weren't human but some of the Christian reviewers nevertheless complained about their "semi-nudity" -- as if they were Disney animals in need of clothes -- and, incredibly, while I suppose I can comprehend the reviewers' sensitivity towards the "pantheism" theme, the ranting about MARXISM and "anti-capitalism" seemed surprising to me.)
Here are two examples of Christian review websites which seemed to go overboard in hating AVATAR:

Do you think Christian reviewers went a bit crazy hating AVATAR? Or were the reviewers just being "Biblical" in their assessments of the movie?

Considering the poor reading comprehension that is so common in R&S, I'll try to underscore the question: I AM NOT ASKING WHETHER YOU LIKED THE MOVIE.. I'm asking you to review the Christian reviewer websites who deplored AVATAR. (Do you think they were consistent with a Biblical worldview in hating AVATAR? Did they consistently apply Christian doctrine to their "interpretation" of the movie?)
