Fried Gold wrote:The Last Airbender is still a rubbish title to have.
Does putting "From M. Night Shyamalan" or "An M. Night Shyamalan Film" mean much anymore (like he's a special auteur of something)?
Trailer looks alright though.

I on the other hand am not so keen on those reviewers.

Didn't he write that too?

Damn straight.

I'm not sure what to think of that

I know, huh? If they leave out the funny and just bombard us with action heavy scenes I'm going to be pissed. We need some funny here. A big reason why the cartoon works so well is the crazy dynamic between Sokka, Katara, and Aang. I'm also very curious why Aang is so silent in all of these trailers.
P.S. Trailer needs sheep.

Yeah, because humor has always been a stalwart addition to a Shamalamadingdong flick...![]()
Me thinks they are trying to exploit his trademark "ZOMG! UNFORESEEN TWIST!" style in the hopes that his fans who haven't seen the cartoon won't think they've been duped into going to see "Josie and the element cats"...
Personarry...I riked it.

i really wasn't thinking along those lines, i admit. he hasn't had a movie that has done anything at the box office in so long i wonder if he is as present in the average jo's consciousness as much as movie geeks assume, frankly. i was thinking more along the lines of a martial arts kids movie being sold to a public that may not be familiar with the material, but HAVE seen bad hammy, camp martial arts kids movies put out by Hollywood in past years. so those in charge of Airbender might want to come across as taking the material more seriously in a first impression for those unfamiliar with it. easier to let out some tension or seriousness with some humor than to create seriousness or tension within comedy, if that makes sense. i agree if they leave out the humor entirely the movie will lose a real part of the charm of the show, though.

This film WILL be infinitely better than the Forbidden Kingdom...*grumble grumble* stick Jet Li and Jackie Chan in one film makes people think awesomeness and it turns out to be the worst trash since one of Bender's turds.
It has to be better. From the angle of the trailer, it looks more serious, less 3 ninja's.

It says they are converting, which means I'll stay away from the 3D one.

yeah, but that is because it is an adaptation of anime
