Anyone seen this movie yet. Is the movie as bad as reviewers say.
I haven't seen it, but I've seen the trailer, and I'll just say this: When the MAIN CHARACTER of your movie only says two words during the trailer - which are even non-essential words - you have a piece of shit on your hands.
looks better than Eclipse.Quote:

As a fan of the cartoon it sucks knowing that the film is a piece of shit. Even with M. Night at the helm and bad casting I hoped something decent came out of it. I have the show on DVD. I'll watch those.
Eclipse wasn't THAT bad. The fight scene at the end was pretty cool, albeit brief. Twilight was certainly that bad, though.Quote:

Sadly, Eclipse seems to have absolutely killed the Last Airbender in ratings. Shit's got a 52% at RT... the real Avatar got an 8%. Sad, 'cause I've never seen the animated series, but heard it was really well done from plenty of friends. I was kind of looking forward to the movie, but... uh... uh... I'm guessing the Last Airbender is going to be one of M. Night's last movies.Quote:

Why would you be surprised by that? IMDB is not setup for that sort of thing. I don't care what your mom thinks about Jacob, or how Edward gets the smaller side of the stake every movie. RT and Metacritic are both loads better for actual movie reviews than IMDB. I'm actually shocked anyone even goes to that site for anything more than just finding out who that hot chick is in whatever movie you were just jacking off to.Quote:

Granted, I don't go to IMDB very often, and never for reviews, but again: I don't really have the time to consume the populous's opinion. I'll skim over what all the papers in the country think, and then realize I'm probably not going to see the stupid movie I'm looking up anyway, then I come here. That's my life.Quote:

I'd stay the hell away from MetaCritic. They're owned by CBS. I don't think I need to spell out that part. On top of that, they have their own way of converting non-score reviews into numbers - a process that they won't share with anyone outside the company. Tomatoes Meter all the way.
Also, Xian Xi, I didn't think IMDB even did rankings, other than Box Office, so you're still not making much sense to me. I could be wrong though.

when it was originally announced that Night was gonna be directing it, i thought great at least he's not in charge of writing it....well i just checked and he also wrote this screen adaptation. so not only is it badly directed it's also badly scripted, written and acted.

Not because it’s a terrible movie—though it is—but because its release as a 3-D film becomes false advertising a few seconds after a comin’-atcha gush of water appears behind the Paramount logo. From there, it becomes painfully obvious—even more painfully obvious than in Alice In Wonderland—that a few 3-D elements have been added to satisfy the current 3-D craze, and the higher ticket prices they allow. Worse still, the process makes the already-dark imagery darker, and turns the action blurry. Viewers who see it in this form will pay more for an even shittier experience than the one they would have had in 2-D.
They gave it an "F", BTW.
I will admit tho i thot the previews made the movie look pretty decent tho. Go to show while it not so much of a bad idea to adapt anime/cartoons or video games into movies. The hole problem is its a good idea to do so they just all turn out shitty because no one really tried to make these movies right. People should stop making live action adaptations of video games or anime/cartoons because they always turn out shitty because directors don't try hard enough. Sure there may be a few that aren't so bad but still could be better if they tried harder.
Good to know then... although the animated series was INCREDIBLE, I really loved it because of the whole martial arts movements the four elements represent, indeed very interesting.

The acting could have used improvement. The characters were over-serious and the movie didn't get into who the characters were supposed to be. As far as accuracy, the movie itself was dead on to the story (except the Kyoshi warriors were left out.. which is bad because Suki becomes a MAJOR role by the time the fire book rolls around). Sokka's character was just... wrong.
The effects were great, and appa's rendering was very well done. The characters look near dead on to how they should. Aside from a couple quirks, it was ok.

aside from bad script, bad pacing, bad editing, lousy acting, mispronounced character names, barely tacked on 3D, bad directing, lack of anything endearing, lack of fun and epicness......yeah it was good adaptation:rolleyes:Quote:

Yeah, that casting is okay. Let's suck the life out of every character, too.
Okay, so if you think it was really that bad, then why don't you go and do better?Quote:

the characters not matching the physical looks can be overlooked if the the actors captured the characters personalities. it has nothing to do with race. it's just laughable how you can even think that the characters are "dead on". more like "dead" or dead on arrival, lackluster dead, yes, but dead on as in accurate, fuck no.Quote:

all i responded to was his post saying how "dead on" the characters looked to the cartoon (which is not even all that debatable). only to be followed by him calling me a racist in a couple of posts. so if you didn't like the movie, it's clearly because you're a racist.Quote:

this movie might even be more hilarious had they just kept Jesse McCartney in one of the leading roles, he dropped out and was replaced by the Slumdog Millionaire guy.
M. Night needs to give it up.
His films have been steadily declining since 2002...
Look at it this way:
Sixth sense....86%
Unbreakable....66%
Signs....74%
The village....43%
Lady in the water....25%
The happening....18%
And now this which is currently at 8%...WOW...how in the name of fuck can this be THAT much worse than the Happening (which was the worst film I've ever seen, yes, worse than Battlefield Earth). It was so bad...it wasn't even good-bad...it was plain absurd with a terrible plot and cardboard acting.
One a side and semi related note...who in the fuck keeps hiring Zooey Deschanel? She has got to be one of the worst, coldest, dullest most obviously "acting" people I have ever seen. She is flat out horrible...
Wow. Lots of hate for this movie. I went to see it knowing it had a low rating, but saw it anyway because I'm a fan of the series. And I have to admit the non-asian actors bothered me. The acting was stiff, and the 3D FX were limited to characters standing in the foreground, one mountain range stick up, some of the titles, and the best one was a ship coming toward you. The preview 3D was pretty good though.
I'd say if you're a fan of the series, it's worth watching, otherwise just netflix it later.
One positive I do have to say about it is that it followed the episodes of Book 1 pretty closely, they didn't just make shit up.
lol. I first read that as "on a side and semi retarded note..."Quote:
