I'd like to talk about the live action adaption of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I heard numerous reviews before seeing it and none of them were positive. But I'm not the type to really get rattled by reviews of entertainment. Saw it for myself. -forehead slap- As a movie, independent of the animated series, it was decent. But as an adaption, it was seriously lacking in the "good" department. Off the top, they fucking pronounced Aang as "Ung". I mean, really? Ung? C'mon M. Night, I know you don't have a thick ass accent, so how'd that get lost in translation. Sokka, who is suppose to be a character in his mid-teens, had a fucking 5 o'clock shadow. Somebody should have gotten fired for that. I heard a lot of people say they "white-washed" the film and I really didn't want to agree. Race arguements never end, they just fade into the background only to resurface later on. But, yeah, majority of the water tribe, in the movie, looked like Russians or some shit. Damn near every fight scene was in slow-motion. I mean, gotdamn son, give that shit a rest and let the fight scene look like a fight scene and not a ballet. I didn't pay 8 bucks to see Swan Lake. I really could nit-pick and say that the only thing they nailed was the way Prince Zuko said 'uncle' but I won't. I'll just say there is a lot of room for approvement. So if they decide to keep M. Night as director for the next 2, I hope people get in his ear so can do the follow ups properly.
