Getting mixed reviews of this movie. But the trailer looks awesome. Does it have some cool kungfu muta-in-youreye taekwadont special effects? would you recomend it?

I thought the story and action sequences were alright. Acting was horrible.

I actually really liked the show, but as far as the movie goes, Despicable Me was WAY better.

If you are a fan of the cartoon version movie takes several liberties with the story line to make it fit into its time constraints.

If you have not seen the cartoon, then the movie will be more entertaining. Also, just to let everyone know, The Last Airbender will be a 3 part series. The 3 movies will be broken down into 3 chapters (3 movies) Book 1: Water, Book 2: Earth, Book 3: Fire.

Great! That means Vic/Devildog will have steady work for a couple of years. :biggrin:

M. Night butchered it. As far as being a stand alone movie (you've never seen the cartoons) it wasn't too bad. If you have seen the cartoons you will be severely disappointed.

M. Night could made it just like the Cartoon..... He "With a Twist," did it his way.. The Lack of Asians & Mr Slumdog as Zuko destroyed diehard Fans.... As of today $280 Million to make & promote, Gross total is $151,282,167..... K-boom BOMB ...The fans have spoken.. maybe they will make it up in DVD & blue-ray sales.... "Hell no"
Wonder if there will be a 2nd & 3rd movie????
Did anyone see the Cheap Chinesse "Burger king," style Toys sold in Target? waste.

The Stinker of the summer is "Jonah Hex." $47 million to make & only gross $10,300,000 million

"Rotten Tomatoes" rated the movie as pretty bad. Out of 126 critics, only 10 put it in the 'fresh/favorable' category.

If you are concerned with 'realism', why are you concerned about your face bleeding?

I'd doubt they'll make the second or third movies. If they do Nickelodeon damn well better pick a better director or they'll just sink another $150 million into a failed cause.
