F-ing M. Night Shyamalan...He strikes....out... again!
Soooooo I love this cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender on Nickalodeon, I've been watching it for several years now and it's ingenious in it's concept, so naturally when they said they were making it into a movie I was stoked! But when I found out that M. Night Shyamalan (Sixth Sense, The Village, Lady in the Water, Signs)...or whatever his name is, was directing it...it was like someone ran over my dog.
I believe this director set out to be the black sheep of Hollywood...seriously because every movie he's made, with the exception of Sixth Sense, was whack! He's like a one hit wonder trying to get that old thing back. His entire movies are the previews, everything else in between is filled with choppy scenes and cliff hanger endings. I just want to know who is on his team telling him "Yo this shit is hot man! The people are going to love this when they leave the theatre"...they have to be the ultimate "yes men"...I'm convinced.
And sure enough this guy trashed one of my fav cartoons man. Me and my homey knew something was up when everyone came out of the movie theatre with the "boo boo" face and one chick even said she wanted to get her money back. Truthfully, it was like a 7 on a scale of 1-10. Now don't get me wrong, Aang (Noah Ringer) had some serious moves, but this was so easy, the formula was there, it didn't even need to be tampered with at all! Aang should've been whipping more ass and the acting should've been better...bottom line. Sokka (Jackson Rathborne...who is this guy?) sucked...Katara (Nicole Peltz)was cool...I guess, and I was surprised to see Dev Patel (Slum Dog Millionaire) playing Prince Zuko...he probably should try to the ride the Slum Dog wave a little longer though.
And at the end when Shyamalan's name came on the screen a dude "booed"...and I joined in of course (hehe) I couldn't help it! :)Screw this guy man! *throws up hands and walks out the room *
