You must have never attended the Chili cook-off in DC.

I was very disappointed in this movie

2. Bending in-and-of itself involves precise body movements to initiate, which can be kinda hard to do sometimes when someone is right up in your face trying to KILL ya.
Trust me, I have no problem whatsoever with your rating. Nearly 5,000 votes on IMDB.com averages out the same as yours. Additionally, some of the paid critics have not been nearly as kind as you.arglebargle;3451314 said:Just saw The Last Airbender, and even with the danger of getting Dallas East going again I am giving it a 4 or 5 (out of 10). Not familiar with the anime, though I have heard it is a very good one. It felt like a four and a half hour movie crammed into two hours. No development of ideas, just plot points plunked down to get them out of the way. Thought the special effects were great. Didn't like some of the casting. Went with three people to see it, and none of them was particularly impressed.
On the good side: This may lead me to investigate the anime.
On the bad side: Shaymalian may be heading to the director graveyard if this tanks like the last 3 or 4 movies of his.
Who knows? I thought that The Sixth Sense was superb. So far, Signs is the only movie of his which came close to it. Every other movie was below Signs. And The Happening??? He should've been shot for The Happening.MarionBarberThe4th;3451382 said:Is M Night even talented? His best movie(Critically at least) was Sixth Sense and he ripped that from Nickelodeon.

Well, not shot, but if anyone were to walk up and tell him, "I see dead directors", I wouldn't hate on 'em.

The 3 is for SOME of the fighting. The rest of the movie is simply awful. The acting by all the young actors was absolutely terrible and the majority of the adults werent much better. Only the uncle seemed to have bothered to show up for his acting classes. I have only watched a few episodes of the original anime, and even I could tell they were butchering the story.
And can someone explain to me why you would replace the main characters with white people, only for it to turn out they can't act for ****? If you're going to hire terrible actors, then at least go for authenticity.
Toy Story 3 - 8/10
Very good but not great. I think it's going to be hard for Pixar to touch me the way they did with Up anytime soon, they set a pretty high standard there. It was fun though, but 3D was useless really.

It was slow as all hell.
Toy Story 3 moved at a nice pace and had much more humor and a way better cast.
I will never watch Up again, Ill watch Toy Story 3 the rest of my life

I did give Toy Story an 8 out of 10, so its not like I thought it was terrible. I still love the first one the most.
