I love the Last Airbender. Fantastic show with humour and philosophy that are some of the best for a youth show. The witty comments the over all flow was excellent. Airbender is one of the best animated shows in a long time.
I love Shamylan. I haven't seen his movies after Village. While I agree he is a bit predictable come Signs and later. They are still entertaining movies, but when you KNOW that there is a twist you already start looking for one and that pretty much blows the twist out already. So it's not a dis to him that his twists are bad. It's just bad that he continued to use them. You can't go into a detective brown book and not expect a mystery.
This movie is going to SUCK. yeah I know I love them both. I think Sham is a great director, but he's not the Right director for this movie. While I believe he could do a good job on the spiritual side that Avatar is. Witty comments are the other side and more than anything they are the biggest reason why anyone love the show that much. "It' Sparky Sparky Boom Man". Soka and the interaction between everyone makes the shows fast and humouras appeal. While it's spirituality really draws us to the Characters that we feel closer to them.
Shamylan is not a director that has the ability to do wit or get us attached to the Characters all that well. Who would have been a better director. Joss Wheadon. His wit and the ability to get us close to the Characters would have done a fantastic job for this movie.
Good show, Good director, not the right fit. Sorry not going to be good.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
