IMDB rates Avatar at 8.9/10 which brings it to #21 of the best movies ever on there...
i struggle to see it at that place.
i admit, i've only seen it in 2D (because 3D was booked solid until next year or whatever). i will also admit that the 2D pictures would be very impressive with a decent 3D effect, i'd actually like to watch it again in 3D. but still... a movie can not turn out to be an 8.9/10 simply from being so impressive to watch, can it?
don't get me wrong, i liked the movie a lot and 3D (would) make(s) it all the more impressive... but still. 21st best film ever? would you all agree with that?

(interestingly in the top250 chart it's rated as 8.7... some IMDB vote-logic behind that somewhere... but oh well, who cares)
The Top 250 list only takes the votes from regular voters and doesn't include fanboys giving movies 10s all the time, so it's more balanced that way.
Also, most movies that create a lot of hype tend to start out with ridiculously high ratings and then drop considering how good it actually is. For example, I remember when the new Indiana Jones came out, it had a 9.3 or something (fanboys), now it's at a 6.6.
Yeah, Avatar is pretty high up (I didn't watch it yet, so I cannot comment), but it will drop eventually (probably to around 8.5).
Edit: Speaking of IMDB, I was browsing through the photos for Avatar and I found this...
