Trust me. Don't see it. It's not even worth seeing it just to see how bad it will be; that's what I did, and now I regret it so much so.Quote:

Yeah that's nuts... I wonder how much of that is affecting their reaction to the actual movie.Quote:

I paid $15.00 to see this and i felt like shit after the movie :( I kept taking off my 3d glasses just to see if there's any difference.
The villains didn't really seem threatening to me, then i realized that Admiral Zhao was played by a comedian from the daily show. Forget casting asians, at least cast people who can play the role! Damn it Shamaylan, hopefully this is the final nail in the coffin of his directing days.

You start out laughing at how random and mindless everything in this movie is, but about an hour into it, you realize that the movie is actually laughing at you, for watching it in the first place.
Maybe Shymalan has some talent left in him that he can use on indie movies instead of all the pressure to make large budget blockbusters.
I heard this movie was made into 3D in post-production and that's the reason for the lack of 3D magic. Is that the normal method, or do 3D movies usually get shot in 3D with special cameras?
Special cameras i beleive, i too am tempted over the insane amount of bad reviews... why do i want to see it?
I really wanna see how bad it is. And I also just redownloaded the whole series to get rid out of the bad taste if I ever go watch the movie.
post production 3d sucks monkey balls.....i watched clash of the titans and it was so god damn lame.
Which begs the question, are these reviews being made by people who are watching the 3D version, because from all told if you're going to watch it don't watch it in 3D.Quote:

Sure it left a lot out. But when you compress a 20 episode TV series into a 1 hour and 40 minute movie, you've got to take a lot out. I mean, at least they just did the first book. Imagine if they tried cramming all three seasons into one.
Yeah, the only thing I see wrong with it is the actors sucked. But anyone who is a fan of the original series should be able to get enough out of this to still enjoy themselves some what.
Oh, was that all?Quote:

How will it ruin your image of the series? That makes no sense at all, as if the series will suddenly be bad after you see the movie.
Guilty by association.
Not necessarily ruin the original, but i did rewatch the series after seeing this movie to remind myself that the premise/story, when done right, is damn good.Quote:

Seriously if you're a fan and liked Avatar, the movie will tear your guts out.
Well... what if i`m... not? i never seen the original.
Then you shouldn't waste money on a terrible movie that you really have no reason to go watch.Quote:

People shouldn't see this movie just as a larf. You'll be throwing away money and supporting garbage at the same time. Might as well give that money to a bum on the street in that case.
Not kind of, completely off-topic >_>
Sort of like this post right here
It's a quote from a fantasy anime. It's probably best that you don't take it too seriously.Quote:

Watched (avatar) The Last Airbender today.
This movie wasn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be, but it definitly has a bunch of flaws that just stick out and could very well make you dislike it.
First of, the 3D, this movie was converted into 3D just like Clash of the Titans, and just like in that movie, it was pretty bad for Airbender, studios really need to stop this conversion stuff just to make a quick buck (though I didn't pay extra cause I already had a pair B) ).
Second, the narration.
I don't understand why every "progression scene" had to be narrated, just to stitch 2 other scenes together, which leads into a very weird sence of progression, like it suddenly being a few weeks later and pretty much kills the character development.
In fact the only character that got properly developed was Zuko.
This also causes the "decent" dialog to just feel illogical and shitty at times.
Third, the runtime.
Now I understand you can't pack an entire season worth of material in a single movie without cutting some stuff out, but this movie runs for only ~100 mins. It would've really been much better to even have 30 mins extra. This also faults the feel of progression.
Now it wasn't all bad.
I really liked the music and the visual effects, the bending was really well done as well, though it could've been a bit more martial-artsy and drawn out like the fights in the series.
The fights near the end of the movie were really good though, I especially loved the 4 water benders just outright murdering the firebender by just watching him slowly die by drowning.
The acting was so-so, but Zuko and Iroh were good.
Now if M. Night just fixes the bad things for the next few movies, they could be pretty fantastic.. >.>.
Oh and Seychelle Gabriel as Yue was.....:3 (♥omgz♥) >_>..........
Wow, that was horrible. I really hope Shyamalan won't continue the rest of the books. The fire nation, what's that, Shyamalan's cousins or somethings? WTF? I srsly LOL with Sokka in the series. Why did he become such a douche? Wasn't Aang supposed to be a playful kid? I believed Iroh didn't lose weight till the 3rd book?
If you're not getting the charasteristics down, it least display some good acting. If not acting, give them a mindblowing dialogue. If not even that, show us MA!!! It takes like 5 min. of movements to see some bending and sometimes no bending!! I rea, REALLY hope someone else will be writing, directing and producing the rest.
BIG dissapointment. :( *watches serie to forget movie*
Only char I did like. :rolleyes:Quote:
