    Pretty good drama based on a book. It incorporates a lot of teaching of Buddhism and zen.

    a great movie. and i think cobb got out. at the end of the film the totem is spinning and is loosing its balance. so it's going to fall. that means it wasn't a dream.

    ok gonna shit this movie again. the reasons why it sucks

    1. This is what happens when you try to compress a 10 hour story into 1.5 hours.
    2. They changed the original story too much.
    firebenders can't creat fire they can only bend it. they can only create fire with the help of the comet.
    Aang has trouble with water bendng. but in the series he doesn't have that much of a problem at water bending. he learns even quicker than katara. earth is the element hard for him to master.
    3. and imagine zuko carrying a torch where ever he goes so he can bend fire. lol
    4. crappy acting. they can't even be called actors. dialog readers more likely. wtf was they thinking. couldn't they find some actors with experience and talent.

    "...a dull, boring, poorly acted, limply written and thoroughly unappealing fantasy, featuring bland characters locked in a struggle of no interest."[SIZE=-1]-[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]San Francisco Chronicle[/SIZE]

    waited so long to watch this movie. in the end it turns out be crap.

    Truly a masterpiece. Read about the genocide in Rwanda long ago and it made me to understand this film well. Don Cheadle was brilliant there and the cast is good as well.
    Thanks Zeus for including this to his FB collection.

    The Last Airbender

    Eventho so many have branded this as terrible adaption+movie

    I tried my best not to cloud my judge coz I loved that TV series
    That much
    And wanted this movie to be at least ok :)


    One thought came across my mind after seeing this

    Did someone ragged Shyamalan until he make something of Avatar ?:oo: :rolleyes:

    the-last-airbender-2010.jpg



    My opinion is fault is not all of the Director.

    Its practical to make a movie of a series which starting with new story on each episodes.
    But absolutely impractical for this
    since
    Avatar is a highly detailed series with single current of story enriched with great combination of so many cultural & traditional elements . And how can u put it all to 1 hour and 43 minutes ?:)

    As a result
    director had no choice but stick to the main flow of the story avoiding scenes that demonstrate awe inspiring potential power of the child that hides beneath his funny playful innocence

    Ex:- The Scene of
    How Avatar escape from Zuko's ship by truing upside down the ship leaving dozens of dozens of soldiers flabbergasted and helpless
    had been cropped

    How the monks of earth,fire,water temples shocked to see the sign of the avatar's return (Temples staring to glow stuff's like that) also missed

    Still remember how my hairs standing erect to see that Gandalf return on LOTR and when he came to rescue the city with 10 000 of soldiers
    from the east with sun rays kissing the earth. mesmerizing :)


    Here bunch of earth benders imprisoned right on earth surface and avatar say Im Aaan(ආන්ග්)
    then දඩිං බිඩිං ඩෝං end of the fight :oo:


    Finally all I have to say is
    My only regret is that why a failure of a movie has to be on
    my most favorite character Avatar:oo:

    And my advice is
    If some of the viewer's hoping to watch both Series and this movie

    I suggest u watch the series first
    and forget this movie second :rolleyes:


    However last 10 minutes is great
    and overall effects are awesome :)




    yeah, including you as well. :D
    Im honored :D



    .......
    waited so long to watch this movie. in the end it turns out be crap.

    Absolutely ban :(

    Winter's Bone

    Fairly good movie :)

    My Ratings 7.5

    I always appreciate wit of Hollywood(or whatever non Sri Lankan) artists when it comes to recreating the nature of the movie :yes:

    And this movie is fairly good example.
    People who live in that area are quick tempered and non religious by the nature , Minding their own businesses without giving a damn of others.
    Yet someone come to their door step asking help they try on their best to help out and get rid of him

    Brotherhood

    Director has done a good job fabricating those kinda stuff in a way even a dumb like me could fathom :)

    Just like Gran torino and No Country for Old men
    Story just flowing through to its end. No smart plays strategies or shocking plots.
    Yet this is not boring as No country for Old men
    or Just filled with dumb actions like The Expendables

    Im not recommending this movie to everyone
    but those who did enjoyed Gran Torine or
    Manage to sit through on
    No Country for Old men
