The Last Airbender - 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.....

It's peaked at 10%. Quite a shame, as I was a big fan of the show while it was airing, but my excitement for this adaption has been pretty much destroyed. At least there will be a new animated series set in the same universe (Legend of Korra.)

Why do people use Rotten Tomatoes to judge movies again? It's not a very good site.............limpbizkit818

Because others opinions > there own.

Well at least for them.

What the heck happened to M.Night Shamalasnasfklansfan? It's as if after the Sixth Sense he set out to destroy his reputation any way he could.Ninja-Hippo

Sorry, but Rottentomatoes is arguably the best site about movies on the internet. Probably one of the most respected too. The tomatometer system is just perfect.

I'll see it for myself and make my own judgment. cybrcatter

This too, but the trailers and reviews aren't helping this movie's case. Damn you Shyamalan... Damn you to the Fire Nation...

lol they picked the worst director! His reputation lives!! biggest_loser

He is far from a great Director, but M. Night does have the ability to craft an engaging film. Just remember this, no matter how bad he gets, he'll never be Uwe Boll bad.

Yes, :shock:, that will be awesome. I fell in love with this series, and was sad to see it over after only 3 seasons. That is a Universe that still has a lot of life left in it, despite what M. Night did..

Not at all. They put far to many amateur reviews on the site and they allow trolls to write bad reviews for no reason other than to get attention. I would never use Rotten Tomatoes.

What do you mean by "bad reviews"?

I guess I still want to watch it cuz I was a big Avatar fan, the last 2 seasons was the bet Western Anime ever

Haha sorry, I meant to say negative reviews.limpbizkit818

lol...I thought that's what you meant, but I wasn't sure.

Anyway, as far as "troll reviews", those ought to be pretty easy to identify after reading them.

limpbizkit818

[QUOTE="limpbizkit818"][QUOTE="Deihjan"] Bad reviews = anything that is negative, I think :PDeihjan

Well the important thing is how informative they are about the movie, and whether or not they manage to back up their "opinions" with well-reasoned arguments.

I'm not denying that there are "troll reviews", I'm pretty sure I've seen some. But after reading the content of the review, it should be obvious if the reviewer is "trolling" or if he just plain thinks it's a bad movie.

I'd actually feel bad for him, if he didn't seem so full of himself.

Thats why you get the option to see only Top Critics.

Somehow he thinks the success of Sixth Sense, Signs, and Unbreakable will continue to carry his career while he freely produces crap and makes a nice paycheck. Rather clever on his part.

I was unaware that people didnt like him as a director..... I loved many of his movies such as unbreakable, Signs, The village, and sixth sense......

Plus you can just switch it to "Top Critics" where only the much smaller, set list of most respected film critics are counted. It's sometimes quite different from the normal T-Meter (though normally similar to)

Just to be clear, Uwe Boll < Michael Bay < M. Night Shyamalan < all the half-decent directors in hollywood.

It should stay that way, at least for now.

the movie has been getting bashed a lot...

There never was much hope. Just a fool's hope.

I'll be honest, the first thought I had when I saw that M. Night was directing this was "What a tweest!"

.. Actually Rotten tomatoes is the best, it is a compilation of just about every movie critic out there, including the top ones which you can sort.. The top movie critics are being merciliess with this movie.

dear god, i was waiting for this movie, for the love of god m night,either you stop making crappy movies or get the hell out of hollywood:x

I was shocked and disappointed upon hearing about M. Night's rights to the film several months ago, but was actually willing to give him one last chance just for thisTigerman950

Just have to know where to look. There is a vast sea of crap, but there's also a lot of islands of quality out there to.

Surfed around, looked over several reviews of the movie, and these are the common themes:

Miscasting/Poor Acting - It's largely white in a universe that's supposed to be based around inuit and asian races. That in itself isn't a sin, but the acting is little more than line-reading. That in part may have to do in part that there's a lot of verbal talking to actually explain what's going on in the movie. In any event it was poor casting to represent the world they were trying to present, and poor casting in terms of acting ability.

Not that I've seen the movie yet, but I have to agree with their sentiment, and people were already thinking that when they saw the people lined up to preform in this movie. None of it made any sense.

Horrible Storytelling - When I first heard about the movie, my assumption that it would have to be 2+ hours long to do the storytelling justice; and even then a lot of things would have to be left out. If it's going to be a condensation of season one of Avatar, you shouldn't have any trouble to fill in 2+ hours worth of material. However, instead of being 120+ minutes to tell what most feel is a great story; it's only 90+ minutes long. An hour and a half? That's crazy. Though again it seems a lot of the story has been condensed into literal story telling: Someone is basically talking the audience through the motions.

The worst crime committed based on the bulk of the reviews I've seen, is that there is no climax to the story. Yeah okay, Aang is going north to learn waterbending, the fire nation is coming to invade there as well. Good guys beat back the fire nation, all is well! Which basically meant a second crime was committed at deliberatly making it a cliff-hanger so the movie can't even stand on it's own two legs.

Additionally most, if not all of the comedy was carved out.

The Horrible 3D - From what I gather it was all tacked on the last second in an effort to jump on the 3D bandwagon and ends up being blurry and takes away from the movie experience rather than add to it.

In think the people who will enjoy the film are the ones who really, really want the film to be good, or people with attention spans shorter than 5 minutes. I personally wanted to see this movie, but with the wealth of bad reviews coming out for it... eh I'll probably end up passing.

in the very short trailer i can see many flaws and my expectations are the lowers just look how serious is the movie nothing like the always funny cartoon

Well, it's M. Knight Shamalamadingdong. What'd you expect? Seriously, why do people keep hiring him to direct movies? :?JustPlainLucas
