I'll pass. Since Sixth Sense his movies have gone downhill. If it was someone else directing I would be interested.

I don't normally listen to critics toooooo much, but it got a 21 on metacritic. http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/lastairbender

That's less than Furry Vengeance got.

Hmm thanks for the info about the 3d version, if that is the case I'll just save my money and see it in 2D. I totally forgot this was coming out heheh, will definitely be seein it this weekend sometime!

Wish I would've known it was post process 3D I would've seen the regular version instead. I really enjoyed it. Its getting slaughtered by reviewers

I'm a big fan of the Anime version. Saw the movie today with my son.

I wasn't impressed. The acting and writing was really flat. I'm sure its hard to condense 8+ hours of story (book 1) into a 2 hour movie, but it didn't have any flow..bad story telling IMO.

Its set up for a trilogy, so hopefully the sequels get better. The one bright spot was Dev Patel. He nailed Prince Zuko.

Not likley, if the first one tanks, who makes a 2nd or 3rd.

Oh and thats what I thought when I saw that speicla sneak peak, it didn't stir nor motivate me to go see it.

Went and saw this last night. I was very, very disappointed. Directing, writing, acting... it just sucked. Literally the only good thing I found about the movie was the set design. What a waste of money, and it had so much potential.
- X

P.S. - as far as making book 2 and book 3 even though the first movie tanked, it IS being funded by nickelodeon. They have rather deep pockets.

hm, well I went and saw Toy Story 3 instead of this tonight... honestly I can probably say it has been the best movie I've seen this year heheh. Very hesitant to waste money on Airbender, think I will wait and rent it instead.

My daughter saw it yesterday, and didn't care for it.

Saw it this weekend and this is exactly what I thought. For a movie that had so much potential, they really screwed this one up :( .. it's a shame as I LOVED the cartoon!

it was alright, I'm sure it could have been better, way better. I was disappointed but it did keep me entertained. Even my nephew who watched all the anime was not impressed.

I have seen better film on teeth!

*Mindz* · 07-06-2010, 12:18 PM

See, I think it's because I haven't seen the anime at all. I think that's why I actually enjoyed it and stated that in my post. The directing/wrting/acting wasn't as bad as the new star wars movies so I didn't mind it that much.
