the rumors are true
it's horrible terrible awful worst movie of the year so far
one dimensional characters that you never get to see develop or change
a predictable, boring story
tacky special effects with no point in the reald3D gimmick (the trailers were more 3D than the movie, they probably threw it in at the last second to jack up ticket prices)
constant narration just in case you didn't hear all the embarassingly awkward and bad dialogue
m. night is just another george lucas - a director who becomes successful, grabs too much power, writes some scripts and everyone's afraid to tell him his ideas are bad, so they all end up on the screen. the happening was the first product of that, and this is the second.
i was lucky enough not to have to pay for my ticket , but to anyone curious - don't bother
if im forced to see this how much alcohol should i drink
another shitty m. night movie who'da thunk it
[spoiler]The coffee's bland[/spoiler]
damn my heart is broken cuz i love the anime version so f*cking much!!!!!!
the last windbreaker
I thought "The Happening" was okay. It reminded me of the 50s 60s paronoia stuff.
This movie was so bad it actually got a lower score than Furry Vengeance on RT. WOW
was there a shyamalan signature twist by any chance
no, it was so predictable you knew how it was going to end within the first 10 minutes. actually, that's exactly how "the happening" was, too. no twist at all. in fact it was so boring i started dozing off halfway through. i'm sure i didn't miss much, though.
did anyone here enjoy the nickelodeon show?
from what i have read so far the movie seems to be pretty faithful to the source material
I thought the show was pretty good, altho, they did have a lot of those cliche episodes...
im definitely not surprised the movie sucks tbh. i dont think animes are suited for live-action adaptations. look at the horrible dragonball z live action movie for example. the shittiness of that movie doesnt reflect the actual quality of the show at all. i watched the first season of avatar and it was much better than i thought it would be tbh. i cant say much for the story itself, but the voiceacting is really good and the characters have a surprising amount of depth. also some of the animators for this show also work on boondocks. i definitely thought an anime on nickelodeon would be 10000% shittier than it actually is
Quote from: chickenfrom what i have read so far the movie seems to be pretty faithful to the source material
not even close. pretty much every character except zuko acts out of character , or has a complete lack of one. the story is also not only inaccurate, but abridged to the point where critical story elements are explained rather than portrayed.
there's this weird rumour about it being set after the end of the world or something (roger ebert mentioned it in his review), was that actually a part of the plot or what
wow gay
the last fartknocker
anyone who thinks the movie is anything like the show is a moron of the highest caliber.
the plot is vaguely familiar but it's so watered and dumbed down

Is the whole movie dark as fuck like the trailers? Like what the fuck, everything was so colorful and beautiful in the show and then in the movie every scene is composed of shades of black and dark blue.

When will we know if a second Airbender movie is happening?
In the next few months we'll be able to know whether we have that opportunity or not. It should be an [size=]awesome[/size] moment.[/i]
Have you read the reviews for Last Airbender?
No, I haven't.
Well, are you aware of the reviews?
No, actually.
Well, for the most part, critics have not been kind. Are you just ignoring them? Will you read them this weekend? Have you just not had time?
Are you saying that in general they didn't dig it?[/i]
yeah critics you just didnt dig it man get with the times especially you ebert you old bastard

yeah, for like the whole movie it's cloudy and overcast. it never really changes
i also found out this movie is only 100 minutes long. but really, it felt more like 2-3 hours. i wanted it to end so bad
why would you watch this. was it for work or something, i dont see how anyone over 12 would want to watch this leisurely
my girlfriend's friend bought us tickets for the midnight showing. so essentially, we got to see it for free with our friends. we would have never made plans to see it on our own otherwise
i see

even if i'd never seen the show
the trailer looked unpleasant and uninviting
it looked like this:

but with the added blessing of M.Night as a director
how can people watch the trailer and go "hmm this seems like something i feel like wasting 10 bucks on"
remember that one good movie shamalayn made what a VISIONARY

James Newton Howards's composed it again. So I will watch it at some point.
I didnt like Signs that much, since the message/Mel Gibson was dumb. But some people think its the best for some reason so whatever.
Worst film i've seen was "The Incredible Hulk 2008", not that i've not seen things done worse on Syfy, splatter films. But since they used such a big budget to make something so stupid.
if youre talking about the one with edward norton then fuk u
gag on this #8 is fucking terrible why would they bother putting the bag on lucy lee's head if her nostrils are exposed jesus FUCK
Coming into this movie cold and knowing NOTHING about the cartoon, I liked the plot of a monk boy with air powers trying to restore balance to a world of elements and fighting an industrial fire nation. That's pretty much the gist I got...one thing I wondered at the end though is, if he needs to learn all the elements to become the avatar, who is going to teach him fire?? The fire nation wants to rule everyone and fears the avatars return right?? Also, and maybe it was explained but I missed it...isn't the world kind of out of balance anyways if all the air-people have been genocide?? Even if an avatar is put in place?
I'll probably be lynched by the rest of the forum for this but ehh; I kind of liked it and it made me think maybe the cartoon show has a good plot too(??Or is it different??). So yeah this movie really didn't cause me any loathing or frustration.
[size=](That title for worst of the year goes to Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.)[/size]
the cartoon series has its ups and downs, but the live action film as it stands on its own i thought was downright awful. i mean you have to at least admit the writing and acting was crappy, and those are two important parts of a movie

zuko teaches him firebending in the show, probably gonna be the same if they continue this into a series
the cartoon is alright with some cool moments - and if you like the plot/ideas of airbender it gets them across much better than the movie did. has more time to explain all the mystic crap too

Quote from: Billythanks for the spoilers lenko i haven't watched season 3 yet
my bad!!
caught this film online cuz i was curious as to how bad it was and holy fuck
I couldn't even finish the last 20 minutes - the sets, sound design and some of the effects are nice but that's about it. the rest of the movie is a shambolic boring badly paced mess. the acting is atrociously stale except for 'oong the ahhvutahr' and zuko's uncle, the 'bending' and fights have no impact or tension with what seems to be literally randomized slow motion. a character will do a little jig and then 5 seconds later a rock moves 3 inches or something ignites. it looks like shit.
definitely the worst film i've seen in a long time. its not even like gooby/the room/birdemic etc where you can laugh at it for how utterly trite it is - its just a big pile of boring, over-budgeted wank from start to finish
the last assbender
lmfao
I herd that the "the last airbender" series was once a set of books.

I really wasn't wanting to see this movie until I read this.
QuoteThe brilliance of Noah Ringer's performance cannot be understated — he is the first performer ever to convince me utterly that he is standing in front of a greenscreen. Even when Ringer is filmed on location, in front of a real-life mountain, he still manages to create the impression that his surroundings have been keyed in, and he's actually in a studio somewhere. This is a huge, crucial factor in the way the movie makes fun of its own epic-ness. And I think everybody who has criticized Shyamalan for casting white actors as Asian characters in this film should admit they were wrong. Clearly, Shyamalan tried to cast Asians, but he just couldn't find any whose performances were lifeless enough.
Now I simply have to.
don't give him any more money please
lordy that was bad. I see J watched the same version I did. I would never pay money to see something like that.
