Guys do yourselves a favor and just suck it up and see Eclipse instead. I originally wanted to see this but my wife wanted Eclipse, so you know which movie we saw.

All in all, Eclipse wasn't bad and I'm sure it can't be anywhere near the fail that I'm sensing from Airbender

Why would you force yourself to see either one of those? Either see a good movie or don't see a movie at all. Life is too short to waste it on dogshit movies.

According to M. Knight, the change in pronunciation was intentional in order to make the names truer to "Asian" pronunciation. Meanwhile, he picked white actors for clearly "Asian" characters?!?!?

My kids insisted on seeing it despite my dire warnings, so we went. Perhaps it is because I went in expecting the worst, but I found it watchable. Just barely. It actually comes in around the midpoint of the crappy family movies I've had to sit through over the past few years. It even created a nice jumping-off point for family discussion afterwards, while we all ripped on what was bad, tried to inventory the changes in plot and characters, and discussed the issue of racebending (which first came up earlier this summer with Karate Kid, which we haven't seen). Neither of the kids thought it was a good movie, but both of them liked seeing

I hope that Paramount has enough faith in the material to continue the trilogy--with someone else calling the shots. A $70MM opening weekend, playing against Eclipse and despite the dismal reviews, may be just enough to get the sequels green-lit.

Nah, watch Toy Story 3 or Karate Kid instead. I'd rather watch Grown Ups over those two.
