I loved the series and I thought the movie was better than some people made it out to be. Sure, I would have gone with more of the script from the cartoon and Shyamalan sucks, but it was not the worst conversion ever.
It wasn't as bad as LotR and the Harry potter movies from the 3rd one on, where it seems like they got the fucking story from someone else who read the cliffnotes version while they were drunk. The casting change for Dumbledore was just the worst fucking decision. I know the first guy died, and he played the role perfectly, but the replacement just fucking sucked. He sucked as Gandalf, and he sucked as Dumbledore. They should have gotten an actor that could take his cues from the first two movies. And they needed a director that had at least read the books so they didn't leave out good stuff for made up bullshit scenes. For LotR, I'd just want to go with an old fashioned stoning for everyone involved. Send them to the Middle East and accuse them all of adultery because they fucked the story so hard. But for Airbender, not sure the movie is going to make enough money for the next two to get made. Do go see The Sorcerer's Apprentice, though. (my mistake, different actor for Gandalf and replacement-Dumbledore. Hate them both then) Last edited by Ansur; 07-22-2010 at 02:35 PM. |

2) I agree HP movies pretty much blow....but the LOTR were epic films..yeah they left out a lot of detail, but movies will always leave out details, you can't fit it all in a film and they're usually made for $$ not the fans. 3) How can you not like Lord of the Rings movies? You must be talking about some other film adaptation I don't know about. |

I like "whaaaat" stuff...like mindbending, thought provoking, strange, things. Sci-Fi is hit or miss for me, but when it's good I usually really like it Action is okay, I'm not usually into action so much as I am adventure...the action in a show or film should come from some bigger "journey"/"mission" not just some guy kicks other people's ass a lot. I like "deep" stuff...hard hitting emotional shit...tearjerks are cool. Fantasy is hit or miss too..and it's what turned me off anime when I was younger...everything I saw was all (what to me seemed) retarded monster-attacking shits....pokemon (which I liked for the first two/three years), digimon, yugioh....dumb magic power-stuff like spirit guns and w/e the hell Dragon Ball Z was about.... I'm more open-minded though, but I'm just saying that turned me off as a kid. I don't know if comedy is big in anime, but I definitely like comedy...especially black comedy, dry or witty humor. I've seen a few anime movies that I've liked: Paprika, Spirited Away, The Grave of Fireflies....if that helps any.

I think I'll check out Samurai Champloo and Paranoia Agent.
Right now I'm in the middle of the first episode of Moyashimon. I'm liking it so far, but have any of you guys seen this show? Was it good? *Edit: finished the first episode of it, interesting premise so far...reminds me of the giant microbes that are so cool to own. lol. Last edited by DudeEMETIB; 07-22-2010 at 04:04 PM. |
