Book 1: Air.. Apparently
Aang didn't bend a single droplet of water despite that being the core of the entire show... Him learning to master elements.
Gave it an extra point for Cabbage man.
Cabbage/10
Only partially in and I'll add as it goes on.
- He arrived in Northpole and Aang didn't do single moment of Waterbending.. Aka he's magically gonna learn it in the moment of need...
All the acting falls flat.. Almodt every single actor did an aweful job this episode... The only one who remains consistent is Iroh.
Sokka and the princess kissing out of nowhere
Lighting effect got introduced at a terrible moment on top of looking terrible
The longer the show goes on the more it seems to suffer from rushed content. It's slowly falling apart.
I don't understand people rating this above a 7...
Listen.. The lore isn't bad... But there's simply not enough screen time for us to care about anyone living or dying.
I imagine if you read the books this movie is a sight to behold.
But as a non book reader. This is well deserved 6.
The biggest devation from the animated show yet. Not a bad deviation but it's stolen from 2 episodes from S2 so I wonder if we won't see it there.
Deviated material: Library spirits & Swamp truths.
I can't help but feel this movie is for snobs who get off on "you missed the point" comments as they sit on their high horse.
I'm not saying that's how it is... I'm saying that that's how it feels like to me when I read praise of this movie.
Well enough said really... I think it's terrible. I felt like I'd have a good time with this movie if I was still 15...that's the emotional maturity this movie seems to have.
4/10.
I can't recall if the official lore of Zuko's crew is the same crew he got exiled over... But damn, it's the first devation from the original I really like.
The show feels more rushed every passing episode.
The villain was set up as a villain without build up... We somehow were expected to just expect him to be bad because he was tense.
Meh...
I won't say the movie is bad, it's directed and performed very well by all involved.
I just can't seem to connect with it, the pacing and story just feel off to me. But again... I'm sure it's a great movie for where it does connect for others.
Not even sure what I'm looking at... 12 different camera angles per second.
It's like they wanna mimick hollywood dogshit camera work.
I can appreciate the mocking at it's time of creating... But it was barely funny.
As far as a pilot goes this was pretty good.
They were faithful to the games esthetic... The nuke scene was great. I'm glad they showed it full force.
I enjoyed it until the love triangle aspect came in the picture... We all know what's gonna happen... Nothing.
It's a cute anime but is pretty predictable due all the characters being super predictable.
The goodie goodie innocent guy being popular is so overdone. In reality a person with that personality doesn't exist.
As expected the more characters get introduced the lamer it becomes with an enforced status qo despite one clearly having a strong interest.
I really dislike the super good guy who can't choose.
If I'd watch this first in 2000 I'd give it a 8/10.
But it just falls a bit short in keeping my attention. Nonetheless it has my respect for doing it's own thing.
Definitely worth a watch and I can see why others would rate it higher.
Suck on my chocolate salty balls,
Stick 'em in your mouth and suck 'em
:notes: :notes:
A slow but very important episode. A first glimpse of why Zuko is who he is.
Terrible sequal.
I don't know what worries me more... The subject of the movie... Or the fact I see comments saying it's propaganda like child trafficking isn't real.
It's legitimate worrying people are down rating a movie that's at least daring to tackle a sensitive topic.
Is it a masterpiece piece? No.
Was it a solid 6 or 7 /10? Yes.
Decent episode with an anticlimactic ending with some dumb slide.
+1 for well integrated references of the original works.
Seen clips...
No respect for the source material. I can't imagine any fan of the game scoring this above 5. (and a non fan above 7)
I remember watching it as a kid but couldn't remember a thing. This is one fucked up movie... Should be shown to everyone at the age of 16.
See you in another 15 years.
For those rating it a 10. I wonder if your rating it based on the subject or based on the movie. I guarantee every 10 would loose 2 points if it was some no name band.
This felt like a worse version of the Elton John one. 2 hours of focus on his sexuality...
Really wished they focussed more on the band or music. It basically was the most stereotypical band movie I've seen 5 times over.
Again... Not bad, but for a Queen movie,100% mediocre.
Who needs a tank... Doms car is made of the most durable material ever.
So... Another dogsht movie. Glad I'm not paying for it.
I predicted the ending the moment the gift was mentioned.
My main beef with the movie is that they depict that giving a 3rd extention would be the good and moral choice. She did nothing wrong. Ergo... She got fucked for no reason.
Godamn... This one sucked dick.
A product of it's time. For a movie from 71 I could rate this 8 or even 9. But as a movie across all time it's 5-7 depending on how you'd view it.
It's not a movie I'd ever recommend as it's objectively just a weird experience that's bound to make most viewers uncomfortable.
Good start... And slowly descent to just plain uncomfortable writing.
For as bad the writing was... The acting was superb.
The dude played a convincing pedo and the girl played a convincing mentally deranged teen.
A tad slow at times... Often cheesy. But a relatively well executed adaptation. I can't say how through they held themselves to the source material but as a novice who played 2 games based on D&D it's close enough.
The characters are very charming, the CG is top tier. Often better executed than Marvel. (to draw a fair comparison)
All in all, worth a watch assuming you ain't expecting a masterpiece. Enjoy it for what it is.
It's an interesting movie for sure, I can't credit it more than that. Not sure I have to say more either.
