The Last Airbender movie review: critics and comments
First topic message reminder :
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
OT: grabe, naalala ko bigla yung sabi ng prof ko. 'wag magtitiwala sa mga information/comment sa internet.
About sa casting, well uhm, M. Night kinda failed. Kumuha siya ng actors specially yung lead actor na si Noah Ringer who played the role of Aang. IMO not bad for Noah the fact na newbie siya. Pero kung alam mo talaga yung series, madidisappoint ka talaga kasi yung sa cartoon panay may humor and si Aang pala laro. Jackson Rathbone played the role of Sokka - hindi masyado na portray ni Jackson yung character ni Sokka, walang sarcasm and yung jokes niya wala din. About Katara, Nicola Peltz did act motherly just like in the series. Pero minsan parang out of place na yung pagiging motherly niya for example sa part nung na capture sila ng fire nation at kinulong kasama yung mga earthbenders. Zuko played by Dev Patel, on the other hand did great. Although yung scar sa face niya e dapat visible ng konti next time. Uncle Iroh, well... uhm more like of a father to Zuko... just like in the series. Those are for the main characters.
Sa effects, very pleasing sa mata. No doubt about that. Industrial Light and Magic ang gumawa ng effects kaya hands down ako sa effects specially yung waterbending. Sa set nung film, hands down din. Napaka ganda and according to M. Night, gusto niya ma feel ng audience na nag eexist yung avatar world. Even the bending thing, he wanted the viewers to realize that bending of elements is possible. Grabe super galing talaga. I dont know about this pero ang alam ko ILM din yung gumawa ng effects ng 2009 movie na "Avatar" ni James Cameron.
About sa pronunciation ng names, well kakaiba nga pero hindi big deal para sakin. What important is how Night compressed 20 episodes or 7 hours of story in just an hour and a half film. Well as expected, some parts are missing like the Kyoshi Warriors part, scenes in Omashu and some of Jet's. Pero i just thought that Night saved Kyoshi Warriors and the Omashu thinggy for the book 2 - earth.
Sa script or sa mga lines nung characters, very serious - dahil kay M. Night. Sana nag consult siya sa mga previous writers nung cartoon series and hindi lang dun sa creators na sina DiMartino at Konietzko. Sayang lang. He couldve done better.
IMO sa movie all in all, M. Night did a pretty good job. Imagine 20 episodes in just an hour and a half. It took me almost 7 hours just to finish the entire book 1.
Well if Paramount will give a green light for M. Night to produce the sequel, i hope that he'll do it right according to the series.

Re: The Last Airbender movie review: critics and comments
its nice to see na di lang pala ako ang masama ang loob in this sorry excuse for a movie, obviously naging patriotic si m. knight sa casting kaya nag mukhang "the last slumdog air bender" it boggles my mind that the creators would allow their hard work to be flushed down the toilet like that, to me avatar: the last airbender is already a classic. dahil uso naman ang re-format for movies for example the incredible hulk, lets hope reformat nila ito.
and no to a sequel by m.knight!!!
