Anyone see the preview during the superbowl? I'd caught a couple episodes of the series (by accident really) and thought it was an interesting show. The movie looks like it has potential though, going to go back and watch the show now.

Our1stCamaro · 02-08-2010, 01:05 PM

My husband is so excited about this movie. I saw the trailer and it looks like it will be good.

kevin2323 · 02-08-2010, 01:31 PM

the show was amazing....so interesting and the story brings you in and wanting more....m night is a great director and the best part is his only flaw as of late (dumb plot twist) cant be done with this movie because he didnt write it and the story is already set from the show.

*Mindz* · 02-08-2010, 01:41 PM

unless he changes the story. M Night Shamalayan is known for drawing everything out and some of his movies are really bad storyline.

You are correct as this will be different because the story is there, so I want to see how the movie is. =)

Avatar, the last airbender is based from a cartoon show my son has followed since the beginning. He is now looking forward to the movie.

I guess we''ll have to see it, and see how it compares to the TV show.

I actually forgot that Night was directing this one. And I the animated series actually won some Emmys I guess, so I'm looking forward to watching it from the beginning

TIE FIGHTR · 02-09-2010, 01:45 PM

My son loves Last Airbender...so yes I will be going to see this when it comes out...he can't drive himself yet!

SikMaro · 02-09-2010, 01:48 PM

I saw the screening of it last week, it was only 60% finished and m night shamalon was there!!!! it was pretty cool, def would see it when it comes out! its about 2 hrs long.

Xanthos · 02-09-2010, 03:08 PM

Excellent series, not really sure about how the movie will turn out though...

*Mindz* · 07-01-2010, 05:55 PM

The movie was fantastic. I haven't seen the anime yet so I'm not sure how well it covers the storyline, but cinematography was awesome. Not too many 3d effects and nothing comes out of the screen, but the movie itself was great!

2ndgenz28 · 07-01-2010, 06:02 PM

I dunno, last night they showed a special sneak peak at part of the movie and when it was done; all I thought to myself was " Is that it?"
I didn't see anything that will make me rush out to see it at the movies.

Steve Dallas · 07-01-2010, 06:09 PM

Ebert gave this movie 1 star.

I hope that isn't true because I liked the Series and the previews have looked good.

*Mindz* · 07-01-2010, 06:16 PM

I go to movies to be entertained. It entertained me.

Just know that it's going to be a series of movies.

Crowley · 07-02-2010, 08:21 AM

Good to hear the few that watched it liked it. My son and I have watched the whole animated series a few times and look forward to checking out the movie this weekend!!

Shardik2SS · 07-02-2010, 08:56 AM

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

bigearl · 07-02-2010, 09:48 AM

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.

Brokinarrow · 07-02-2010, 10:59 AM

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!

Days75 · 07-02-2010, 05:57 PM

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

Uwe Boll?

ajp · 07-02-2010, 07:05 PM

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.

Xanthos · 07-02-2010, 10:19 PM

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.

KATCMRO · 07-02-2010, 11:03 PM

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