I finally saw Airbender, which hit theaters a few days ago! Some reviews have been negative, other reviews have been also negative. SO YEAH. :/
"But Booter, what do YOU think?"
[link]I viewed this movie with the same malicious glee I usually reserve for MST3King bad pr0n fics. The delicious, creamy lulz that can be extracted from this movie are endless. Expect LOTS and LOTS of parody art in the future!
There were lots of problems with this movie, like EVERYTHING (with exception to the effects, shut up I liked some of the water scenes). I went in figuring it would just suck hard in a few areas, but instead was surprised to find a nice even coating of suck all around. The most *obnoxious* thing in the movie was the sheer amount of exposition, somehow mindbendingly topping even the casting in sheer offensiveness. Editing, dialog, acting, scene composition, LOGIC it's like all the most basic aspects of storytelling were COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN. I also felt a constant fear for Aang's virginity throughout. Uncomfortable!
It wasn't all bad. The bending effects were pretty good...when bending and not interpretive dance occurred. I liked the costumes, and some of the sets were nice to look at. Aang bouncing on his head while fighting Zuko tied up was cool too. But these nuggets of good were just not enough to cover for the bad.
"Admiral Zhao, do you think my son is a traitor?"
".....YES.
Does anybody know how Bryke feel about the movie?
I walked out of the theater with my friends and I mentioned "it seemed like every scene with Aang and another male was full of innuendo and 'that's what she saids'." They didn't believe me. Finally, someone who understands.
"Let me perform this test on you. It'll only take a few minutes, and afterwards you can go." D:
I don't know whether to laugh or cry!
My second favorite part was the cooperative bending aka the Tai Chi.
....YES.
But more importantly, Zhao is missing his beard of awesomeness. *sobs*
However, I did enjoy it. That sick little part of me sqwealed in delight each time I recoginzed someone. And the popcorn was good.
