The reviews (and fan reactions: YouTube - FANS UNLEASH EPIC HATE FOR THE LAST AIRBENDER) were vitriolic enough to convince me not to waste my time on something an AICN reviewer called "a hate crime against people who love movies." Should I see it for myself rather than pass judgment based on...

So...am I the only one who thinks this looks like crap? There's something about the setup, where they cycle through the characters and their 'bad-ass' background, that fills me with a mix of sadness, rage, and nausea. Watching the trailer, I can't help but wonder: "Is this based on a script by...

For those people who missed out on earlier tile sets - because they couldn't afford them at the time, didn't know about them, weren't playing D&D at the time, or whatever - I'm sure paying that little extra to WotC, despite getting that little less in product, for secure knowledge that these...

The more reviews I read, the more I honestly believe the reviews are ultimately going to be vastly more entertaining than the movie itself. I'm really curious to see what the weekend box office numbers end up being. Sadly, after the scathing brutality of these reviews, I think there will be a...

Yeah, that's pretty rough... Though, I think Ebert has gone senile, because he tends to trash great movies while praising stuff that's only mediocre, so I tend to dismiss him out of habit. It's not sounding promising though. So, apparently, the runtime is only 103 minutes. Yeah... I'm...

No, I think that's a load and an extremely weak-ass explanation. I might have had more respect for M. Night if he came out and said, "Look, there aren't enough quality Asian/Indian/foreign actors who speak English well enough to make casting them in this big budget project practical. It's a...

I thought that too - though, it may just be the lighting in the photos - because I was really expecting the gold paint to have more glister (and look more gold than dirty yellow), the skin to have more layers of shading, and just a lot more subtle detailing. I like the wings, though. Though, I...

I'm bitterly envious of your collection, just as I lament the fact that I didn't pick up at least 4 Gargantuan Black Dragons when they were just $20. Guess I ought to grab an Orcus while I can.

Which is precisely why the approach they've taken in the trailers is so perplexing. Nearly every trailer/preview/TV spot I've seen appears to be promoting it like an adult (or, at best, a young adult) feature, with the focus on the fighting, the FX, and the darker elements of the story. You'd...

And I think that's why I'm even more pessimistic about the live-action movie, because I'm seriously starting to doubt 'the rest' made it into the movie at all. How many movies has Shyamalan written/directed that had any sort of bright, lighthearted, fun and cheery moments? His stuff has always...

Of all the potential replacements considered, rumored, or suggested for stepping into Del Toro's shoes - Raimi, Blomkamp, Cuarón, etc. - I can't say I'd be happy with any of them. Not for The Hobbit. It has to be Del Toro or Jackson. I honestly can't imagine anyone else approaching it with...

As a 30-something anime fan (or I should say anime snob, since I'm extremely picky about what I like), I initially dismissed Avatar: The Last Airbender as a crappy kids' cartoon, probably on par with Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon, without ever really watching an episode. It wasn't until I gave the show...
