The Last Airbender movie review: critics and comments
especially kung fan kayo nung cartoon series, madidisappoint lang kayo lalo. macocompare to dun sa Dragonball Evolution movie o dun sa street fighter legend of chunli o dun sa the hulk movie ni ang lee. sobrang binaboy ni shyamalan yung source material. list ko yung ilang fails nitong movie>>
- pronunciation ng names ng main characters eh iniba. yung "Aang" na pronounced parang sa word "boomerang" eh ginawa ni shyamalan na "ong". si "Sokka" na pronounced "sock-ah" ginawang "soak-ah". yung "Iroh" na "eye-roh" ginawang "eee-row". i know maliit na difference lang pero kung fan ka nung series, maiirita ka eh.
- yung "bending" nila. elemental bending kasi yung powers dito eh. ang problem eh masagwa tignan sa film. unlike dun sa series na fast paced tignan, dito parang sumasayaw muna. imagine si eugene sa ghost fighter eh sumasayaw muna bago mag ray gun.
- yung script. usually ang directors eh hiwalay sa writers. pero ayaw ni shyamalan. kaya ang kinalabasan, parang sinulat ng high school student ang lines buong movie.
- walang pacing. kung hindi ka fan nung series, malilito ka siguro. one minute nasa south pole sila tapos biglang nasa earth kingdom sila the next.
- no character development. unlike din dun sa series na ma-aattach ka dun sa characters, dito wala lang, parang kumikilos lang sila ng walang motivation.
- bad choice ng actors. bukod dun sa controversy sa racists yung pagpili ni shyamalan ng actors, ang mga pinili nya eh mga newbies na walang talent. especially dun sa main character na si aang. apparently pinili nya lang yun kasi na impress lang sya sa martial arts talent, bukod dun wala na.
-yung fight scenes. bukod sa reklamo dun sa elemental bending, yung fight scenes eh palpak din. scenes na dapat mabilis eh naka slomo, at scenes na may drama eh naka mabilis. tapos dun sa series, each nation eh merong corresponding martial arts style, dito eh parang dance moves lang. sinabi pa naman ni shyamalan with confidence nung nakita nya yung series "i can easily copy that".
- changes sa story. since ang source material eh isang buong season, maraming pinutol na scenes/characters. wala si suki at kyoshi warriors, si jet at freedom fighters, si avatar roku, at iba pa. maraming scenes na na butcher din tulad ng intro, ng imprisonment, at ng finale sa north pole. yung firebenders pinahina rin ng sobra dito, doon kailangan pa nila ng source of fire bago mag firebending, unlike dun sa series na galing sa chi.
- useless ang 3d dito. unlike dun sa avatar ni james cameron na maayos ang 3d (kahit mejo nakakahilo pa din), mas macocompare ang pagka-3d nito sa clash of the titans. ginawa sa post kaya minadali at ang result eh halos non existent. may mga nagsabi nga na bumili ng 3d tickets pero mas maayos daw nung tinanggal nila yung glasses.
heres a clip from youtube>>
sa madaling salita, dont watch this movie. bumili nalang kayo ng dvd nung series. pag pinanood nyo tapos di kayo familiar dun sa source material, baka ma turn off lang kayo dun sa series.

Re: The Last Airbender movie review: critics and comments
Yup hindi daw maganda to. Sayang naman kasi ang ganda pa ng concept. Medyo kakaiba nga si shyamalan gumawa ng pelikula. Siguro papanoorin ko pa din, either sa dvd or sa movie na hindi 3d.
Re: The Last Airbender movie review: critics and comments
Sayang...Tama nga ang narinig ko pangit daw...ok lang panunuorin ko rin..

Re: The Last Airbender movie review: critics and comments
watched the movie, honestly i havent really watched any of the cartoon/anime series, but it really seemed so slow-paced. that kinda ruined it for me.

really? wala ka nakita na pangit sa movie na to? meron akong kakilala na hindi sya fan nung tv series, pero tingin nya mga 1/10 lang to. pero para sakin na fan nung series, offensive ginawa ni shyamalan dito especially dun sa creators.
yung pagbago ng pronunciation ng names nung characters at pagbago ng story, dapat talaga hindi nya ginawa yun. tapos yung casting, kinuha nya yung pinaka untalented at mga hindi kamukha dun sa series. regarding dun sa racial discrimination issue, ok lang ako na hindi pure asians ang cast nya, pero dapat talaga pinili nya yung worthy naman para dun sa characters. iniba nya rin yung personalities, dahil dun nawalan ng motivation at sense yung characters.
example si Aang, yung bida sa movie. ang actor na pinili nya eh sobrang walang resemblance sa series. pronunciation nung name ginawang "ong", dapat "(boomer)ang". tapos yung pinakanainis ako eh yung personality change. dapat parang bata dapat yung character, meaning easily distracted, laging masaya, palalaro, mahilig magpatawa. ang issue sa buong movie eh mashado pa syang bata para maging avatar, na force lang yung mga monks na i-reveal na sya yung next avatar kasi merong gera nung panahon na yun. kaya sya tumakas at nakulong sa iceberg. sa movie, si "ong" eh mashadong serious, laging blank ang mukha, tapos walang buhay yung pagdeliver ng lines.
isa pang example, si sohkka. pronunciation sa series "sock-a", sa movie "soak-ah" yung actor pangit na nga yung choice, may mali pa sa costume. personality iniba din. sa series, dapat sya yung comedic sa group. sexist din sya tapos makulit at mahilig sa sarcastic jokes. sa movie serious lang. pagdeliver din ng lines eh walang buhay.
marami pa kong examples na mali ni shyamalan sa casting at characters, actually lahat ata may flaw, pero sabihin nalang natin na too many to mention dahil hindi lang yung ang mali ni shyamalan dito.
isa pang problem, si shyamalan ang nagsulat ng script. sinabi pa nya sa fans nung show na magiging faithful sya sa source material. sinabi nya dun sa producers tungkol dun sa martial arts na "i can easily copy that". pero hindi ganun nangyari. ang nangyari eh parang dance move at hindi martial arts ang ginawa dun.
pagdating naman sa special effects; oonga maganda, pero sa panahon ngayon, di mo na masasabi na groundbreaking yun eh. parang industry standard lang at least yung ginawa dun. plus sa budget na $150 million, i think na normal lang ang sfx. ang problem eh yung cinematography. tapos na mention ko rin ba na useless and 3d dito? ginawa sa post, minadali lang kaya halos walang effect ang kinalabasan.
may times din na parang kinocopya nya style ni zack snyder pagdating dun sa slomo fight scenes, pero in-overdo nya eh. yung choreography eh laughable, yung slomo eh sumobra na nasa point na na nakakainis tignan, yung bending para kang nanonood ng indian dance film. tapos hindi yun nangyari sa iilang scenes lang, lahat ganun.
i mean, sobrang ganda nung source material. sobrang yabang din ni shaymalan na kopyang kopya nya daw yung series. pero kung panonoorin mo yung movie, iisipin mo na siguro hindi nya tinignan mabuti yung show or at least nag consult muna sa fans nung show.
actually yung paramount at nickelodeon eh ayaw talaga gumawa ng "avatar the last airbender" movie since alam nila na halos impossible ma-cram yung halos 10 hours na series into 1 1/2 hours na movie(although possible parin since nagawa yung mga movies na tipong LOTR at harry potter). pero si shyamalan nag insist kasi nakita daw nya na nakasuot as "katara" yung anak nya. na iimagine ko nalang kung anong reaction nung anak nya na fan nung series dito sa flop movie na to.
pasensya sa rant, di ko lang din talaga maintindihan kung bakit may magkakagusto dito sa flop na to.

sakto tol. parang tekken the movie, dragonball evolutions, street fighter legend of chunli, mga ganun na movie.
Re: The Last Airbender movie review: critics and comments
im not a fan and this what i think. based on the above trailer, well, i think the effects are quite decent. production is good. but what really sucks it the bad acting not to mention the silly dancing.

sure decent, pero ang promise ni shyamalan dito eh "groundbreaking". pagdating naman sa production, so-so lang. sa post prod/edits etc., eto mapopoinout ko>>
apparently kahit black belt yung kinuha ni shyamalan na mag play as "Ong" eh kailangan pa ng stuntwoman. ang ginawa eh gumawa ng CGI ng mukha ni Noah Ringer (Ong) tapos pinatong sa stuntwoman. eto ang result>>
tapos compare yung fight scenes sa movie tapos sa tv show
tv show, also i bet hindi ito nakita ni shyamalan>>
movie>>

Re: The Last Airbender movie review: critics and comments
hindi ba may mali sa topic na to??? parang bad publicity na to e.. dahil kasi incentive na ng tao kung papanoorin nya o hindi.. dapat ang topic na to ang title is " i have not enjoyed watching airbender the movie" hindi dapat do not watch.. in my opinion lang po..
