Oh, my.

I don't think Roger Ebert liked the Avatar movie...

"The Last Airbender" is an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented.

Some friends I haven't seen in a while asked me to go to the midnight showing with them. I've been reading the abysmal reviews all day. I'm preparing myself with a Frappuccino and as many gummi bears and contraband candy I can fit in my purse. This will be a train wreck, but at least I can make it delicious.

I had already decided not to go see it, but possibly if I had friends and a massive sugar rush it might be bearable. Good luck!

It breaks my heart that they cut the Katara/Master Pakku fight. Not to mention racefail and apparently just being generally a crappy movie.

I'd already decided to skip it mostly on account of racefail, but it sounds like additionally it's just not very good. I think it's running under 10% over at Rotten Tomatoes, and that's just sad. The source material is so good, and from all accounts it's just been tragically, wretchedly mishandled. As a fan of the TV show, I'm just disappointed by the whole mess.

Yeah, I'm also staying away from this one. This was mostly because I didn't see any possible way it could be good. Now I'm actually just hoping it is epically awful enough that no one would dare make a sequel.

I think that I will not take Vic to see this after all then. Don't want to break his heart with uberfail.

I'm keeping my head in the sand for the next 2 days. And, whatever, I'm seeing it with a big group of friends, so if it sucks, we can heckle together.

NO SUKI.

roserevolution July 1 2010, 13:43:27 UTC

Yes Suki! She's definitely in this movie. AND SHE WILL ROCK BECAUSE I SAID SO.

PS- It looks like the majority of reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes haven't even seen the movie, but are giving it low marks anyways, making the score meaningless.

singingraisin July 1 2010, 18:12:16 UTC

Actually, it looks like despite her appearance on movie posters, there is no Suki in the movie.
