Aang 649 Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Most of us have seen the beloved Last Airbender show, and many have seen the movie adaptation. And let me tell you it is the worst adaptation I've ever seen in my life. M. Night Shamalan made this movie, and it blows. Literally. 1. The races were COMPLETELY off. It's obvious that Aang should have been Asian if his entire people were Asians. Katara and Sokka are supposed to be well tanned, they are butt white, while there entire tribe is dark, and asian. The water tribe, well done. The Fire Nation, all Indians, obviously should have been Japanese. 2.The acting sucked. The entire thing tried to cram 22 episodes in 90 minutes. It can't be done. One of the things the cartoon series did so well was display character development, emotion, trials and error's and was relate able to all ages. 3. The bending was so slow, like a fellow Youtuber once said, I could heat a hot pocket before they do anything exciting. In the show, just ONE bender could do catastrophic damage. In a simple, simple move. Here it's like they do a 15 second dance routine before they shoot anything out. In this one sequence, it takes 6 dudes, covered, and surrounded by earth to gently move one boulder towards the bad guys. In the show, the oppressed Earth bender really were oppressed. They were on a metal ship where they couldn't bend, having no hope. In this movie, they are completely surrounded by earth with few guards I encourage you all to see this movie, but prepare to laugh at how awkward it is. The last airbender series is my favorite of all time, and it's simply too perfect to adapt to. No movie should be made off of this, because it can't be done. It was a cute true by Shamalan but in the end, you failed. The movie made over 300,000,000$ in total, but all of those were disapointed fans. You can get it for 99 cents. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmRjMWk3lno http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tf_MgtPOPs Edited February 11, 2014 by Aang Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isamu Kuno 2,512 Posted February 11, 2014 And yet, he's doing it again because he planned the whole trilogy before the fist one came out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aang 649 Posted February 11, 2014 And yet, he's doing it again because he planned the whole trilogy before the fist one came out. They'll have to get a completely new cast if so. But I don't think it will happen. Dragon Ball Evolution was worse... Seriously, Yamcha using a gun!!! Oh yeah, I forgot about that. 0_0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaweebo 3,617 Posted February 11, 2014 And yet, he's doing it again because he planned the whole trilogy before the fist one came out. There's no way he'll get the chance to do another one. I think Paramount have learned their lesson not to give him any more rights to that kind of stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaneki Ken 1,516 Posted February 11, 2014 Dragon Ball Evolution was worse... Seriously, Yamcha using a gun!!! Well, it was supposed to be seen as Alternate Universe. But It is agreeable that it kinda sucked. (CGI effects were pretty good though) OT: The Last Airbender was okay imo, Yes, it sucks, but effects were pretty good, and due to the fact that it profited despite of disappointment from fans, there is a chance of sequel. Let's hope that the director learns from his mistakes he made in Last Airbender. NOT (Not On Topic, see what I did there?): I hope the live action film for anime, Bleach, doesn't get screwed, Warner Bros owns rights for making a live action and is progressing slowly.

WakingDawn96 1,166 Posted February 11, 2014 I hate the TV show, but even I can understand just how terrible the movie is. The movie is so terrible that I would rather watch and endure every single episode of the TV show before I would watch the movie, and I hate them both.
