"I hated Avatar because the plot was so plainly deriviative"

-While one could counter with "Well, I didn't mind the deriviative plot" this is a fairly objective statement.

Movies that still manage to be pretty good even though they're derivative don't really bother me anymore, considering how derivative we know Star Wars to be nowadays. :\

There are degrees of being derivitive.

"Star Wars" is plainly derives influence from various sources.

"Eragon" was painly derived from "Star Wars."

There is nothing that "Star Wars" derived it's plot point-by-point from the way "Eragon" robbed "Star Wars" or the way "Avatar" is "Ferngully: The Last Rainforest".
