Avatar: The Last AirBender was the best Cartoon show I've ever seen... (1 Viewer)

yeah me and daughter love the animated series, she is super fired up to see the movies. the cartoon is pretty epic, especially the battles in the last two episodes
 
wow they just raped Shamalamadingdong
 
My GF had lunch with the original creators of the animated series (my GF used to work on the series), and they were not pleased. They didn't like the casting and etc. Even though they are listed as exec. producers, they didn't have much say. Here's hoping that it doesn't suck.

This was posted from someone on another forum.
 
It's bad, as in "Wild Wild West" will no longer be considered the nadir of July 4th weekend releases. It feels off from the get-go and never gets its footing or a sense of balance with the material.

Worse than "Wild Wild West"? Wow, now that's bad.
 
racist jokes? really who cares? comedians of color make racist jokes about themselves all the time.

But really that isn't the point. The movie was suposed to be "fantastic"
 
Not the fact they were racist, its the fact they were awfully old and outdated, and just not good.

lol I can appreciate a good and fresh blasian joke but hearing the same ones over and over does get tiring :covri:
 
guess they should have invented futuristic racism for a futuristic old west
 
Yeah, I guess 30 year old racist jokes and Kevin Kline are funny. Kenneth Branaugh in a steam power spider? How could it go wrong.

The Wild Wild West did suck, but Kline is a capable comedic actor when he isn't overselling it and the material is there. I just keep thinking of the Kevin Smith story about the producer he was saddled with when he was signed on to write the Nick Cage version of Superman. The producer wanted huge mechanical spiders to battle Superman. "Spiders are the most deadly killers in the insect kingdom."

He'd later work on Wild Wild West.

As for the Airbender....:covri:

The Last Airbender isn’t that much different from the rest of this summer’s generally dire multiplex fare—from The A-Team to Jonah Hex—which started with established properties and half-decent ideas, then cranked up the volume, velocity, and effects to the point where neither sense nor tender moments could escape. But it is remarkable in one respect: It’s the worst of them.

Three people I know that watch the series saw it last night. None were happy with the movie.
 
I'll probably be in the same boat. I'll still enjoy it though. I wasn't happy with the DBZ movie but still enjoyed it.
