My instinct told me to pick Avatar, but I thought the Messenger was a much better script (in terms of dialogue). The Avatar script wasn't terrible. However, it wasn't the strongest part of the film.

Dialogue is the least important part of the screenplay. The story structure of Avatar is essential to poignancy of Cameron's visuals. Pandora alone does not make the film thrive, it needs the story and the plot structure in order to make those things matter.wild things for best picture!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15394677681088946353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407454496468251136.post-90572397948355453192010-01-11T14:54:56.685-05:002010-01-11T14:54:56.685-05:00Avatar for screenplay?
