Poll: The Last Airbender Movie Trailer

[Cowabungaa]

He already lost my money knowing that characters that are supposed to be Asian, Inuit and Pacific Islanders became a cast of white heroes fighting brown villains.

If that's true, it won't be good. You got a source for that? Hopefully some names and pictures to match.
But judging from this trailer alone, it definatly won't be as crap as the Dragonball movie. The Fire Nation navy looked awesome. I really loved the series, I hope they'll stay true to it. Or at least true to the style.

 

[GodsOneMistake]

Ill watch it on HBO in 2 years

 

[The Youth Counselor]

He's ruined the bloody series. How can something so awesome be degraded into something so... amateurish?

Amateurish? Really? Care to elaborate on what parts of this TEASER TRAILER were so unprofesional?

M. Night has already gotten a lot of heat from his last few movies.

I know this doesn't address your overall point, but to be fair M. Night is fantastic director with regards to cenimatography and acting. It's his writing that suffers, something that shouldn't be a problem with an adaptation.

And come on, you're complaining that the trailer's generic? Just about every trailer in the past 5 years could be lumped into a couple of different styles. It says nothing about how good a movie will be.

What would you've liked to see from this teaser, if I may ask? Aside from things like casting decisions and such. (I mean the teaser itself.)

To make it clear I enjoyed The Village(I fell in love with Bryce Dallas Howard after that movie.), and Signs (the second time around. I still can't get over the twist that made no sense.), but never saw Lady in the Water and tried my best to enjoy The Happening but ultimately didn't like it. Unbreakable and the Sixth Sense. I agree that M. Night is an amazing director, however I'm just addressing the concerns of the public.

Of course generic trailers don't mean the movies are generic, but it certainly drives away audience. M. Night Shyamalan should have realized that the movie was already generating negativity and gave the best trailer he could to dispel fear.

He should have skipped the two scene Star Wars Kid teaser process and went straight to the trailer. This is common practice for when a team really wants to wow people.

In the trailer he could have shown a map of the four nations with similar narration to the show's opening titles. We get to see the Fire Nation invade the Air Temples, Aang and Appa being discovered in an icy sphere by two characters that look somewhat Inuit. Zuko in all his glory burning down villages, flash shots of the Kiyoshi Warriors, of Omashu, of the Northern Air Tribe facing the entire Fire Nation. Then it ends with an Asian looking logo.

DELETED

 

[Ares Tyr]

Excited is the Ares Tyr. I'm way more hopeful for this than I was for that garbage DBZ movie.

 

[stormcaller]

Kid doesn't look like Aang, the fire navy rocked.

Why not just make a movie about the Uncle? He was the best character with Sokka as a second.

EDIT: I hope they don't try for a Aang and Katara storyline, he looks too young.

Live action hmmm... M. Night Shyamalan... hmm. I call a cameo.

Seconded.

People usually "awwwwww!" at kid-love, so I think we can expect that.

Yup, that does suck. What's the name of the actor playing Aang by the way?

Edit: Nevermind, you edited your links, now I can see the actors. Thanks. What the hell at Jackson Rathbone as Sokka, Dev Patel as Zuko (too Indian), Nicola Peltz as Katara and I could on like that. This whole movie will be one MASSIVE ethnic disaster.

 

[War Penguin]

Hmm...
Shyamalan making this live actioned? What a twist! (sorry, couldn't resist)
I'm not sure I like the idea that it's live action.
It might exceed expectations and the visuals look great but I'm still on my toes for this.

 

[Carl The Manicorn]

meh. looks ok. but hey, this is loooooooonnnnnnngggggggg way from "The Happening".

 

[GloatingSwine]

Dev Patel as Zuko (too Indian)

Dev Patel would have made a good Sokka.

If there were going to be a live action Avatar movie.

Which there isn't.

 

[JanatUrlich]

I AM SO EXCITED.

 

[Darkmark44]

Umm... not sure. Loved the series, not sure on a movie though. I mean, its always interesting of what could happen. As long as Prince Zuko looks good, then I am content! haah

 

[Drink Just Six]

Meh... I don't trust M. Night Shyamalan since "The Happening".

 

[sallene]

eh, its just a studio looking for the next "harry potter" franchise to milk to death and market the hell out of.

 

[DeadCapsule]

I am....95% hyped for this movie.They nailed the Fire Nation's navy right on the head, and if they don't mess up Toph's character, I will most definitely be seeing this movie once it comes out.

 

[Ham Blitz]

I might watch it, one, for curiosity, and two, because I loved the Animated Series. I just have the same question that many people have here "Why M Night?" I haven't really watched any of his works, but weren't most of his movies supposed to be within the horror or mystery themes?
