I Saw The Last Uhvatar
Thank God I didn't pay to see it. I used the magic of the internet. *shhhh*
I'll let the tags for the community wtf_tla sum it up, as they do it best:
"They DIDN'T dig it?", aang ain't white, aang can stay asian, agni keys, ambiguous cultures, animals with human faces, anything else is better, appa giving you nightmares, bad 3-d effects, bad actors, bad directors, bad everything, bad ratings, bad reviews, being culturally inaccurate, beliefs, believe in your beliefs, believing in your beliefs, bending without the elements, best dance movie ever, bring me your elderly!, comedy, crazula couldn't wait, dancebending, dancing earthbenders, diversity (lol), dumb movies, earthbending dance dance revolution, eero, epic fail, exposition, exposition everywhere, fake bending, fake martial arts, fire nation colony 15, four random waterbenders, getting people's expectations up, greco-roman fire throne, i see white people, i killed the moon jon, interpretative dance gone wrong, interpretative dancebending, koi punching, koi stabbing, kung fu dance parties, leaving out kyoshi warriors, letting your emotions flow, libraries, m. night shamwow, missing information, missing the big picture, most diverse movie evar, no fun allowed, no love for tea, no meat or sarcasm, no sexism up north, oblivious earthbenders, ong, orange and blue posters, pebble dance, pebblebending, pretentious directors ruining franchises, pushing fire nation soldiers, racebending, rock rock rock rock, rpg bending, scribbles replacing chinese calligraphy, scrolls, senselessly moving arms, shaymallama, show don't tell, skipping important characters, soaka, soekah, sorry your nephew exploded, sorry your son died, star wars monologue appetizer, story plotholes, summer movies to avoid, terrible dialogue, that bison can float!, the effects weren't decent, the last dancebender, toy story is better, turn-based ravebending, twitchy smiles, uhvatar, uncomfortably close eye zoom, wasting your money, wasting your time, watch toy story instead, zuko loves the elderly
Summary: WORST MOVIE EVER! Okay, maybe not ever... but it's damn close.
-- None of the characters acted like they did in the series.
-- Hardly any of the characters looked like they did in the series.
-- The dialog was HORRIBLE!
-- The special effects were terrible. (except for the Northern Water Tribe set)
-- Bending took 5 minutes of moves to accomplish. I kept thinking of the scene where Indiana Jones faces up against the guy who does all the crazy moves and ends up disabling him in a second by shooting him with a gun. Lolz.
-- There would be scenes where... NOTHING HAPPENED. And you sat there thinking; "Why did they just show me that?!"
WTF Moments:
-- Soh-ka, Oong, Eero, Uhvatar <-- "Accurate" pronunciations
-- The Chinese calligraphy turned to scribbles. <-- Why did he want the authentic pronunciations and not use the actual writing?! >.<
-- Sokka getting soaked by Katara... and not getting wet?!
-- Zuko: "Bring me your Elderly!"
-- Earthbenders in a prision... with dirt and rocks. And not one of them realized that they could still bend.
-- 6 Earthbenders, taking 1 minute of moves, to bend 1 small rock slowly across the screen.
-- "We need to show them that we believe in our beliefs as much as they believe in their beliefs" <-- WTF?!
-- Princess Yue's eyebrows
-- Zuko; knocking Katara out and then molesting her while he bitches about his past.
-- Aang; using a move on Zuko to crush Zuko's face with his crotch... and upon leaving the scene reminding Zuko that they could be "friends"... O.o
-- The direction style of the entire movie consisted primarily of facial close ups and zooms. *shudder* And one uncomfortably close eye-zoom on Iroh.
-- The way Aang defeats the Fire Nation at the Northern Water Tribe: Making a gigantic wave that does... NOTHING!
This may be a little late in coming, but don't waste you money on this. I'm praying that it does so bad that they don't even think about making the next book. It's times like these that I wish I had a lot of money. Lol.
