Movies I've seen lately, both the example of great movie making and the absolute butt end opposite of it:

Inception:  I'm putting this one first because the airbender movie has a long rant attached to it.  Go see this movie.  Go see it now.  It has amazing effects, great acting, a suspenseful storyline, and an extremely tense soundtrack.  I mean,

Shyamalan talked extensively with the creators before the film was made so it's not like he can go 'oops'. Also, the mispronunciation of names really bothered me. I've probably mentioned that a million times but come on, the source is English. It's not like it's a question of translation because there is none. Also, I felt like they really diminished what bending could do which is sad because then it just became a failed martial arts movie.

Seriously the amount of gesturing they went through just to throw a rock reminded me of power rangers where they did a bunch of martial arts forms before unleashing whatever attacks. Also, your points.

Also, I think I'll be trying to see inception. Everyone seems impressed and i've got free movie passes so it makes sense.

Oh Manda! Never before have I whole-heartedly agreed with you!! Inception is a FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC movie! That little stunt they pulled at the very end made me squint in annoyance, but aside from that, OMG awesome movie!

As for M. Night Shama-lama-ding-dong's abomination, I haven't seen it nor do I WANT to see it. I refuse to waste hard earned cash on that flaming pile of proverbial pig shit.

Your review reminded me of rufftoon's account on the movie (she's someone I watch on devArt and actually worked with Nickelodeon on the Avatar animated series, so she knows her stuff) and it made me laugh so hard at the utter incompetence of the movie! See for yourself: (Make sure you full view or hit download image and read her comments to get the full effect!)

Hey, but on the plus side, did you hear about the spinoff series that's in the works, The Legend of Korra? I'm excited for that!

[drama_freak]

I have seen it! I am very excited, mostly because it looks as though it will remain faithful to the old universe but have its own story at the same time. I hear that Korra has already mastered 3 of the elements which already puts it at a different structure than Airbender.

Oh yes! You bet I have! I'm very excited to see this, not just because the new Avatar is a buff waterbending lady (hells to the yeah!) but also to see what they'll end up doing with the Avatar world after Aang saved the day!
