Posted by Artoo on 02.28.2010, 08:22 PM: I think the trailers are awesome and it looks like it could be very good. But then I like most of M. Night Shyamalan's films (though I only love The Sixth Sense).

Posted by Roarkiller on 03.01.2010, 11:31 AM: Um, the trailaer has been out for quite some time, hasn't it?

Posted by Tea Master Tall on 03.01.2010, 10:49 PM: It's not the awesome tattoo design I'm worried about. It's just that the arrow doesn't stick out as much as it does in the show. I wish it would be colored in more if you know what I mean.

Posted by fenkashi on 03.02.2010, 01:13 AM: Haha, I liked the trailer, actually. I'll probs go see it and hopefully it'll be fun. Not expecting cinematic genius but fun? Yeah, it's got potential for that.

Posted by Roarkiller on 03.02.2010, 11:48 AM: I'm more about about the timeline, actually. Supposedly they're ging to make a trilogy, based on the three books, but if production is going to take six years, then 10-yr old Noah Ringer is going to look awfully old by the time they're finished. Like Daniel Radcliffe, if anyone still remembers him.

Posted by hakuxcondition on 08.06.2010, 01:33 AM: Well I saw the film...big disappointment. I'm extremely picky on character choice, so I was pissed when I found Zuko didn't even look like Zuko on the show. (Although I personally have nothing against the actor). Sokka (my awesome, hilarious Sokka) is not even humorous in the slightest as the REAL SOKKA would and should be. Besides, the film could have had a lot more computer graphics It would have made it more awe-inspiring like the cartoon. Which, in other words, should be a no-brainer! If it isn't as inspiring as the cartoon, then there is a problem. -le sigh; Just an overall big disappointment for me. I advise all of you to watch it when it comes out on DVD.

Posted by Orphic Okapi on 08.07.2010, 01:24 PM: I doubt I'm even going to watch it on DVD. Everyone seems incredibly disappointed, and the reviews are all pretty nasty. Shyamalan should be ashamed.
|
Posted by Roarkiller on 08.13.2010, 11:59 PM: I plan to watch it.
|
Posted by arren18 on 08.14.2010, 08:35 AM: Actually, most reviews I've seen haven't been to do with faithfulness to the series; those complaints have been from fans. The reviews say it's bad as a film.
|
Posted by Orphic Okapi on 08.14.2010, 09:39 AM: I think most people agree it fails miserably both as an adaptation and as a film in its own right.
|
Posted by FunkyDan on 08.20.2010, 12:11 PM: I waited since like the date of production for the movie because I loved the series so much, I gathered all my friends and we went to see it, I knew it wouldn't be the same as the show, since things had to be changed, but it was to different. I will say that I loved seeing real life people bend and stuff, and the graphics were excellent, but the acting was horrid and I hope he fixes a lot of things he messed up in this movie, for the next movie.

Posted by Kemi on 08.21.2010, 02:04 PM: I have heard very bad reviews about this and yes it are mostly the fans who are complaining about the movie not following the anime series. But I agree with Roarkiller than we must not forget it is an adaptation, something different. The director even said he wanted to make a real action movie based on the series, but then different, with some new things in it. So not exactly the same as the series, it would be boring in that case I guess.

Posted by aluka on 11.01.2010, 11:09 PM: Hi, I just saw it....... uh yeah.

Posted by husky51 on 11.02.2010, 10:40 PM: picky, picky, picky... lol

Posted by arren18 on 11.03.2010, 06:51 AM: There are different views of what constitutes anime in different places and groups. In Japan, anime is an abbreviation of "animation" and so can refer to animated film from anywhere. In the West, many die-hard fans of Japanese animation will refuse to regard anything else as anime, feeling that the place of origin defines it. And then there are people who think that anime is a particular style, and so incorporates other animation inspired by Japanese cartoons.
