Oh Snap

Gonna go see The Last Airbender today with my brother. I know everyone says its bad and the only saving grace is Iroh, but at the same time, my brother has no concept of Television to Movie sense. I'm only seeing it cause he doesn't go to the movies without me. Which I can sort of understand.

I'm more into the idea of going to The Sorcerer's Apprentice but expect me to MST3K the entire thing through. At least we're not stupid enough to see a Twilight movie. Still though, I'm going to ask him to hoof the bill or at least use the credit card for this.

More on that when I get back from it later. TLA, yeesh. XD With a 2.8 Rotten Tomatoes score, well yeah. This is RT who, like IGN, their official scale starts at 6.

Re: Oh Snap

I'm so glad I didn't pay for the tickets myself.

Now then, here's a few things I didn't like about it.

A) Pacing. It was a pacing nightmare. Slow slow slow through the whole movie.
B) Hitting plot points that seemed deserved but ultimately a waste of time.
C) "There's Earth under your feet!" Yeah. What the hell. At least the COAL RIG made sense.
D) Sokka and Katara. I'm sorry but their acting was just austere. In a bad way. Episode 3 bad.
E) No Roku. What.
F) Absolutely nothing resembling a plot other than "This is the overall idea" smashing into your face over and over.
G) Zhao. He's such a pussy.

Things I did like:

A) Iroh. Not only he is totally nailed right down to the core but he is so badass he can generate fire with his own chi. Admittedly Firebenders are SUPPOSED to be able to do this already but nevermind that little problem.
B) Zuko. While he's not all "HONORRRRRRRRRR!" in an over the top manner, he is also fairly good.
C) Aang. Surprisingly he wasn't so bad. I mean, the performance could be better but I've seen worse child actors.
