tHop - The Last Airbender

The Last Airbender

With a very questionable director helming this movie, fans all over the world are holding their breath when it comes to the live action adaptation of one of the best cartoons of day.
The trailer is promising that the movie will show exactly what many of the fans wanted. Action. Everything in the movie seems to be catering to this as well as many aspects of the cartoons have been altered and actors were horribly miss cast. Most if not all of the quirky humor seems to have been stripped right out of the movie and the personalities of many characters seemed to have been changed to fit this. The actor playing Aang is not exactly the best match for the job either, as he has this serious vibe to him all the way from his looks to his voice. Plus, besides having no hair on his nogget, the kid doesn’t look anything like Aang.
Despite all of the flaws noticed in the latest trailer, the movie appears to be doing the action right. Everyone seems like they have been fighting for a long time and the special effects don’t look like they jumped straight of the ninetees. Like DRAGONthismovieisBALLS EVOLUTION. Not only that, but the sets and the CG sets all look beautiful. So do the effects that are littered all over the trailer.

Still, it all lies in the hands in one of the most questionable directors in the entire fucking world. This man has never made a good movie before in his life. Fuck The sixth sense. That movie was good up until the pay off. It didn’t make a lick of sense as throughout the entire movie they do their best to make sure that last part is complete and utter bullshit. Signs was the most acceptable movie out of the bunch and even that is stretching the limits. Unbreakable was garbage, the Village was shite on a film reel and The Happening … well, it ain’t happening. There’s more movies, sure, but they suck as well.
Uwe Boll has a better rap sheet than this guy. I mean, at least Uwe Boll has made movies that are entertaining to watch. Sure, you’d might be entertained for all the wrong reasons, but at least you’re being entertained.
Buuuuut, M. Night Shyamalan seems to be doing a pretty good job on The Last Airbender so far. If he can deliver the movie that this trailer is promising, this might still work out. Maybe he has the best adaptation on his hands. Well, maybe that explains it. He didn’t write the source material.
