The Last Airbender (2010)
Shama-lama-ding-wrong
I don't usually feel compelled to write a review, but I am a HUGE fan of the TV series. My 3 children and I enjoyed every episode. I had heard mixed reviews on the movie and decided to preview it before taking children. Glad I did or DCFS might have been called on me. This movie was horrible. Twice I almost fell asleep and whispered to my girlfriend that this movie stinks just before an action sequence which then peaked my interest for about 5 minutes and then it went back to terrible.
I did like brief (very brief) moments of the action sequences. I also enjoyed the special effects. Things looked pretty cool with the different elements. That's it.
What did I not like? Story was rushed, inconsistent with the cartoon, actors did terrible acting - most of the characters seemed like the same person, Sokka was not funny at all, Aang (pronounced wrong) was not child-like, Katara did not show faith or feelings for Aang, the entire Fire nation was Indian, Zuko hardly had a scratch on his eye, uncle did not seem wise or relaxed or chunky or anything. All the things I loved about the characters was missing.
I agree with many of the other posts about M. Night climaxing on 6th Sense and then plummeting down after. If they get a new director I might give the second movie another chance, but they should really get somebody like Peter Jackson for the next movie.
Such movie potential wasted. 3/10. I feel it is generous for one of the worst movies I have seen.
Tomb Raider (1996)
It was good for me.
This is one of the few games I made it all the way through. Once I started, I was hooked!! Some of the puzzles are extremely creative and I never had more fun dying in a game in my life.
The visuals are stunning and the ambiance is thick. I loved everything about this game from the ease of controls to the artifical intelligence of the creatures all the way up to the remarkable ending. And the cut scenes are awesome!!!
I bought the next 2 game sequels - if I only had more time... Can't wait for the movie.
Great game!!!
Mission to Mars (2000)
Cover your ears and wallet
The good news is that you shouldn't cover your eyes. Special effects are excellent. You really believe they are in space and on Mars.
The bad news is that you cannot believe the phoney lines, unbuilt characters, lack of music, and lame excuses used for moving the plot along.
There is one scene where there is debate on whether Tim Robbins should be rescued by his in story wife. Personally, I felt pretty unemotional about her emotional trauma. I was hoping to see him drift into the atmosphere because that would be cooler than seeing them together again and again and again. Unfortunately, I feel the same about the movie.
The end of the movie showed promise, but lacked a climax. :(
The Sixth Sense (1999)
See this movie.
Do not read anything about this movie. Do not let anybody tell you about the movie. Just go and see it or it will lose value. It's flawless.
