    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.

    Some of those guys in the clip said they paid $20 for the 3D showings!! Wow movies have gotten so expensive these days.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

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

    I mean, maybe if they went and watched it for say 8 buck they wouldn't be having this strong reaction against it. Still the response seems to be consistent throughout.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    Still bad acting is bad acting regardless.

    So I just saw The Last Airbender, and it wasn't really that bad. My only real complaint is that the all of the kids sucked at acting, and were completely devoid of emotion. Sure you can nit-pick about them changing the property of fire bending, the actors being the wrong ethnicity, things they left out, things they changed, name pronunciations, but all in all it was an honest tribute to the original series. 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.

    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.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    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.

    Seriously if you're a fan and liked Avatar, the movie will tear your guts out.

    Then you shouldn't waste money on a terrible movie that you really have no reason to go watch.

    Kind of off-topic but your sig is a load of bullshit. "People don't kill people, monsters do." Nice job of pardoning the weak and the evil and removing personal choice. That's almost as bad as "don't hate the player, hate the game." Way to relinquish personal responsibility.

    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.

    It's a quote from a fantasy anime. It's probably best that you don't take it too seriously.
