A Brief, Biased, and Long Over Due Review

Alright, this past week has been far too busy to actually write a meaningful post. So, here I give you a random, rather pointless post. This is all information we already know, but I will just leave this here...

For as many good movie that have been made in this world, there are those just as equally and oppositely bad. There may even be more than that; after all, this is a world of imperfect humans who seem to keep making imperfect and astonishingly bad entertainment. (This is not to criticise the entertainment industry, because without them we would have to spend countless hours actually talking to one another.) Still, there is a level of excellence that lies at the bottom of the charts that few have had the honor of falling to. And still fewer can claim their muddy pit amongst the cream of the corp, and demand the title of - The Worst Movie Ever. If you have not already come to this realization, this said champion is none other than The Last Airbender movie. 

WOW! We can see it in 3D!!

You notice I must specify with the word movie, because at the other end of the spectrom reigns the prodigy of Avatar: The Last Airbender, the brilliant predecessing TV series of which the movie spond from.

Look at them, so beautiful....I might cry...

A lot can be said about what makes a movie “bad” -  bad acting, artificial fighting scenes, and horrid special effects - to name a few. But, this list marks just a portion of the transgressions of The Last Airbender movie. For a moment, let us set aside its association with the TV Series, and examine it with new eyes. No, I am afraid it is no better a view. The special effects were realistic at best, but the animals created by such were nothing but nightmare inducing. With or without the floating elements, the action scenes were simply painful to watch - and not for the reason you would think. And let me tell you, the acting in this movie was a mind boggling spectrum of monotonous over-dramatization.

It is easy to make a movie to watch and laugh at, but it takes true talent to create a movie that is physically impossible to sit through even one minute of. My sister and I tried this once, and after about 30 seconds of just screaming at the TV, we turned it off and started watching Book 3 instead. I must say, the worst crime to be made amidst this entertainment-driven age - of which, there are many perpetrators - is to completely butcher and maim the movie rendition of an already popular and thriving franchize.

His name is AANG, not AUNG - you had it so easy!

In final review of M. Night Shyamalama-ding-dong’s masterpiece, I must urge you all - if you have never seen this movie, it is highly recommended that you find the nearest copy - perhaps belonging to a friend or loved one - borrow it from them, and burn it. Trust me, they will thank you.

Fair-faring friends - and please, go watch the real Avatar right now.
