Long story short people are mad and I will be buying the bootleg.
Don't worry I didnt post any spoiling things.

"The good news for those eagerly anticipating this live-action, big budget adaptation is that the 3D isn't horrible. The bad news? Just about everything else is."

"M. Night Shyamalan ruined the movie."

"Last Airbender" another failure for Shyamalan"

"The problems begin with Shyamalan's script, which is an orgy of exposition."

"I believe M. Night can ruin the world."

"The most well-rounded failure of the year so far."

Quote:

The Good:
The Action: The battle scenes in this film were pretty well done. The mixing of martial arts and the elements was an amazing sight to see. Whenever the Fire, Earth, or Water benders go toe to toe with each other you can’t take your eyes off of it.
The Special Effects: The effects used for the element scenes were semi-believable and a lot sharper than you’d expect. Also, Aang’s Flying Bison surprisingly translated well from the animated series to the live action version.

The Bad:
The Acting: Horrible! The acting in this film is horrendous. This is Noah Ringer’s first starring role so his lack of delivery is understandable but everyone else must be held 100% accountable. The performances were terrifying to watch because they were so stiff, uneasy, and forced.

The Script: This screenplay had some of the blockiest dialogue I’ve ever heard. It gives Twilight and Star Wars Episode II a run for their money. If you’ve never seen the TV show, from which the movie is based, you won’t have any connection to the characters or their journey. The bad script plus the bad acting is a recipe for disaster.

The Set-up: The animated series was broken up into three books (Book One: Water, Book Two: Earth, Book Three: Fire). The film replicates that set up (spoiler) by beginning with a chapter and ending with a major cliff-hanger that will go over into the next film. This was a bad move to make because the film might not do well enough to earn sequel money therefore leaving those who did enjoy the movie without a conclusion or pay-off.

RATINGS:
Rating: 3/10
2.9/10
4/10

Oh man...It's got a 4% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

All the people hyped up about it in the other thread must be nerdraging.

Edit: Oh f**k, it only opens 5th Aug here. Not gonna watch a dated movie.

LOL DAMN. That sucks! I gotta head over to Anigay Nation and see how all the otaku are taking this.

I knew from the first couple trailers that everything that the characters had in the animated show was going to be lost in the movie.
That was part of what made the show great, the characters.

Anyway, this isn't unexpected, I'm just sad that everyone who sees this that hasn't seen the animated series is instantly going to hate the series as well.
