Excellent Avatar Review

Conor Friedersdorf is one of the most intelligent, clear thinking, and intellectually honest writers on the internet right now, and his review of Avatar is worth reading, especially if you want a more in-depth political/philosophical analysis than Ebert's or the NYT's reviews.

Once you've read that, I highly recommend you check out more of Friedersdorf's writing. More intelligence and rational, honest engagement than you can find in the op-ed sections of most major newspapers.


EDIT:
Another fascinatingly in-depth review, with a slightly different angle, here.
