No, not the awesomeness that IS 'The Last Airbender' and Legend of Korra respectively; though when I did learn of the title I thought James Cameron would be directing. But alas... we got Shamalama-ding-dong's version. But I'm getting off track here.
This isn't a jab at anybody who likes this movie, if anybody does like this movie. I just wanna know IF anybody likes this movie, and if so, why? I ask cuz the sequel's finally coming out next year. Is anybody excited for it. I know my dad will be, he loves this movie for some reason that continue to elude me. Then again he also likes the Twilight movies, but I'm getting off track again.
Again, this is my opinion, maybe not a popular one, but I didn't like this movie. It was slow, tedious, boring, the characters are flat-out forgettable. The plot was so predictable I knew what was gonna happen when I saw the first trailer. It's basically Pocahontas in space. There's no doubt in my mind that the world, environment and characters are definitely beautiful. But it's all style no substance to me. And like Dragonball GT, it was difficult for me to get to know and care about the world and with any characters' antics when there's far more bigger concerns going on in the background that does directly affect the characters. Even the special extended edition didn't clear up its problems. And during the almost 12 years since its release, I really haven't heard anybody talk about this movie. DC, Marvel, Transformers, Anime will come up and be discussed, but not this movie.
But if its one of those cases where I'll probably enjoy the sequel more than its first flick (i.e. Madagascar and Indiana Jones (not counting 4th movie)) then OK. But I am wondering how will they make the sequels any different, cuz James apparently has 4 sequels in the works. James, I really hope you're not putting all your chips in on that. Hell, the first movie didn't usher in 'a new era of 3D.' Back in 2010, all the Star Wars movies from 1 to 6 were gonna come out in theaters in 3D. And that stopped after just one came out.
Well you're obviously not gonna see it, Chase! Why are you wasting your time writing this?! the voice in my head is asking.
Am I gonna see it? Nah. Do I wish him luck? Somewhat. But after his crack in 2018, taking jabs at Marvel, and saying there hasn't been any good scifi films, completely disregarding 'Ready Player One' that came out that year, and its become one of my favorite movies of all time... yeah, I got no respect for him anymore.
So whaddya make of this? Lemme know in the comments below.
Thanks for your time.
