Yeah, though it doesn't make me any less angry. When I saw the previews for it in theaters a couple weeks ago, my friend and I were going back and forth wondering what sort of twist he'd work into the story. Low and behold it sucks for bad acting. What a twist!WilliamRLBaker said:sryXeros said:dont wanna break the bad news to ya...
but we can all look to one person to blame...M.Night bhambadambadinglaoonga.
the fact he directed, wrote and whatever else with it, and the people he hired and such...we can safely say the movie is bad because of him.
I'm actually a fan of M. Night Longlastname, and I was surprised to see he was doing this. I've had mixed feelings for it as I think he does his best work when he has his own material. It sounded like a really choice for someone to bring a cartoon to life, though. Thats too bad that it seems to be terrible. I'll still probably end up watching it though. I mean, how many times does Air actually get used in combat for anything other then wussy protection in games and movies. It's about time someone made a strong air character.
I am not friends with the guy who suggested us go watch Eragon and then never showed up and didn't tell us until we had bought ticketsso we sat through it.
I'm saddened but I'll still rent it.

The movie might have been okay if they stayed true to the characters and their traits in the Animated Series, but it's pretty obvious that they're going for a different angle. Instead of Aang still being a normally goofy kid early on, he's being portrayed as this ultra-determined Wuxia Badass.
I'm of the persuasion that Shyamallan and his partners are just making a shameless cash-in of the series now that the series is over. Feel free to disagree, but I'm not going to go see it, at any rate. I liked the series as it was. Live Action Adaptations tend to ruin everything.

Hahahahaha the Eragon movie was shit. But I was hoping this would be really good, as I was a fan of the series. Looks like my hope was misplaced.
See, this is exactly why I was leery of Last Airbender. I was questioning if Shyamalan could pull it off, and it looks like he couldn't cut it. I was wondering how they were going to compress a 20-episode season of a cartoon series into a 2-hour (2.5-hour, being generous) movie, and it looks like they failed.
Look, I know it was a cartoon, but I loved Avatar: The Last Airbender and I hate the thought of anything Airbender-related sucking. Same thing applies to Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League (and Justice League Unlimited) and Samurai Jack, among other things, but I can't say I didn't see this coming, and I also can't say I wanted this to suck. I really did want this to be good, but unfortuntaely, it looks like such is not the case.

You're the first person I've ever heard say Avatar: The Last Airbender was bad, go troll someplace else, you're not welcome here.Commander Breetai said:
I think I'll see it for myself anyway. Esp. since movie critics all like to march in step behind Roger Ebert, ie a miserable old fuck who wouldn't know a good movie if it bit him in his wrinkled old ass.
