It's a bit late for it now, but I thought I would drop in my complete two cents on the Airbender movie, which was...
bad. Really bad. Really, really,
reallllyyyyyy baaaaadddddddddd. Race fail aside, this film was horrendously awful, like, I don't even know how to explain to you how bad this film was, other than to let out a scream of agonised pain that would make unicorns from two star systems away begin to weep.
This film was
that bad. I can't even say it's the worst film I've ever watched, because there were parts I did like, but I can safely say this is the worst adaptation of anything ever, barring maybe a few Uwe Boll movies.
THIS MOVIE WAS TERRIBLE. I concluded that I actually hated this movie more than
Twilight because, hey, at least I knew that
Twilight was always going to be terrible. There was nothing good to take out of
Twilight. Whatever poor sod that adapted it for the screen or radio (that would be interesting. Would Edward make shimmering noises?) would make a terrible movie. Even if it had Stanley shitting Kubrick attached to it as director and John Williams as the composer,
Twilight was always going to be bad. At least not without a massive rewrite where Edward rips Bella's throat out and devours her at the end. Which Kubrick might've been open to.
Still, my point is, the book wasn't good, so it wasn't as if any of us were expecting the movie to be any better.
