[Movie] Avatar :The Last Airbender Review

Yeap, yeap. Guess what? I was invited to the premier screening of Avatar: The Last Airbender at Cathay Cineleisure. (Which is also known as E @ The Curve). Yippie! Yet another one to review.

So what movie is this anyway? The Last Airbender.. It is actually a really kinda famous cartoon that is played on nickelodeon almost everyday for the past few years. No kidding!

They look like this..

Yeah. Real kiddy huh? Haha then if thats what your thinking..

M. night shyamalan just got lucky with the sixth sense. And now the famous director is back. With The Last Airbender.

Okayy.. lets get to the review shall we?

If you have waited long enough.. looking at the trailer thinking... wow this is one movie I ought to catch in the cinemas.. IN 3D! Well don't bother. This movie is about a small kid, really short compared to the one in the cartoons. Despite being reborned thousands of times, he is back to save the earth from the fire nation. Just why him? Because he is the only one in the world to have powers to bend all 4 elements. Air, Fire , Water and Earth.

Yeah you are right, this movie really knows how to make use of their CGI powers.

Despite having average battle scenes, their fights using the elements was not bad at all. Really. Not bad at all. Fire blasting everywhere around you, Its like you could feel the heat burning around you in that hall. And not to mention those sound effects, darn it. The sound effects came from everywhere, really done well. Its like you could really experience the power of those THX or Dolby digital speakers, sounds of water droplets, fire burning, wind blowing and also earth bending.. yeah the sound system takes the cake.

But as for the storyline... Well. Hell no.

I mean the cartoon storyline is good. But the movie, really has a weak storyline.

You couldn't even feel a moment of suspense at all, like seriously. Its dull and boring and its only those fight scenes that keep you awake throughout the movie. Other than that, the movie also has quite alot of unnecessary scenes. Hmm.. what else can I say...

One more thing to add in, Why are they using indians as the fire nation? I mean.. in the cartoon they were chinese. (Not being racist or anything) but.. Indians using chopsticks in the movie? Oh well...

Theres really nothing interesting about the movie to say other than those I said in the above..

Oh yeah. The ending. And you thought Inception's ending was WTF. Well, If you watch the last airbender, u will WTFFFFFFU---. (In a bad way)

AND WTH, They are making 4 more movies? Which means 4 sequels? no waiz.

Okay..If you are those fans who watch the cartoon, then go and catch this flick and what I've said maybe wrong. Just maybe.

Overall rating: 5.5/10
