Wow okay, according to Rotten Tomatoes, TLA has gotten 28 negative reviews out of 30.

Roger Ebert gave it half a star. I don't think I've ever seen him give a movie that low a rating.
Here's the gist of his review: "The Last Airbender" is an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented. The laws of chance suggest that something should have gone right. Not here. ...its special effects are atrocious. The first time the waterbender Katara summons a globe of water, which then splashes (offscreen) on her brother Sokka, he doesn't even get wet. ...This plot is incomprehensible, apart from the helpful orientation that we like Katara, Sokka and Aang and are therefore against their enemies. ...Their dialogue is functional and action-driven. There is little conviction that any of this might be real even in their minds. All of the benders in the movie appear only in terms of their attributes and functions, and contain no personality. ...His(Shyamalan's) first inexplicable mistake was to change the races of the leading characters...(1) It's a distraction for fans of the hugely popular TV series, and (2) all three actors are pretty bad. I don't say they're untalented, I say they've been poorly served by Shyamalan and the script. They are bland, stiff, awkward and unconvincing. ...I close with the hope that the title proves prophetic. "

Ouch.

Relatively sure the movie is going to bite.

But I'm still excited. If not only for Komodo Rhino's.

And I doubt some of the reviews in the world, because all they have to do is google the movie to know people were upset with the casting. it doesn't mean they know anything about the show.

Considering that the woman is impressed by the overuse of blaring brass sections and her opinion of movies I've already seen differs from my own... I'm not taking much stock in what they say. I liked Prince of Persia! (Though I didn't play the games)

But... I'm starting to get worried. What if... it's not worth seeing?! You guys that want to see it no matter what have to tell us what you think without spoilers! (Not that we don't know what's going to happen already but... you know. I mean srsly, we see Yue die in one of the trailers!)

I saw it today (Friday) and it was not what I thought it was...I'll let you interpret that for yourself.

Not surprised. This was THE Worst Movie I have ever watched, and Avatar: The Last Airbender was my favourite television show ever.

I can't even explain how terrible the movie was. I'm at a loss for words XD

I agree completely. Shamalan ruined the fun of it. And it was choppy, and the acting wasn't great. Avatar the Last Airbender is the best cartoon ever, now people that haven't seen the show will have ruined their first experience. Unless they enjoyed it, but the cartoon is way better.
