The Last Airbender.
This movie had problems. I'm not going to touch on the whole racebending thing that got many people's panties in a twist. (Twisted panties? Hello nurse! Man, I'm strange.) because this was the wrong cast even if every mother fucker on that show HAD been white or Indian. And that's because no one in this cast could act! Or at least none of the main characters could.
It might be easier to say what I did like. The production design was good, and the FXs were good. That's about it. This movie was written badly, directed badly, edited badly, and acted badly. It was just bad. I knew the whole thing was in trouble when there were lots of voice overs explaining what was going on. There is a rule in movies that you never tell something that you could show...and this movie was telling me a lot. Then there was also exposition spouted at almost random by characters. They were trying to cram too much, into a small time frame and it showed. I mean we are all over the place and things are happening before we get a chance to care about them happening. Like the Princess with the white hair...we are never given time or a reason to care about her, so when she makes a noble sacrifice the audience doesn't care because they were not given a reason to care. It just bad...I think Beck said that Iron Man 2 should be shown to film students how NOT to make a movie. I disagree...this film should be.
