Looks interesting even though I never watched the Avatar cartoon on Nickelodeon. Nevertheless, I have heard good things about the cartoon.

I wonder if M. Night Shyamalan will have a walk-on role in this movie as well...

It looks pretty sweet. I think it's funny how they got rid of the 'avatar' part of the title because they don't want people confusing it with that other movie. God knows that would probably really hurt the box office returns.

Looking forward to it. Hope it doesn't stray too far from the cartoon. Hope M Night doesn't screw it up.

He'll probably put a twist on it that has the fire nation being run by an air bender [FIX]Illuminati[/FIX] style.

I think the word you're looking for is "Illuminati"

I've never watched the cartoon, it looked pretty dumb, but I'm pretty impressed by the trailer. I think Shyamalan needs a sort of popcorn action movie to get him back on pace. He's sort of spun out of control with all his "What a tweeest" movies.

I don't think it's really been like that at all.

Lady In the Water, The Happeneing, and even Signs didn't have very significant "twists" at all. Lady In The Water and Signs focused on taking a LOT of seemingly random situations and putting them together into a cohesive whole at the end, and The Happening was more just your typical outbreak mystery, but focused on the novelty of mass suicides.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Actually Lady in the Water, The Happening, Signs, and The Village all had really big twists. We were told in the previews they were directed by a visionary and they turned out to be complete crap.

lol.. well I agree about The Village and to a lesser extend The Happening, but I think Lady In The Water and Signs are both pretty damn brilliant.

Signs was about aliens somehow conquering a planet composed of 70% water with an atmosphere where it rains in a good portion of it regularly while being allergic to said water.

Aka, stupid as hell.

The Village and The Happening are total trainwrecks. Lady in the Water and Signs at least have some good acting. Signs especially even has some really great scenes. Signs is one of those movies that comes really really really really close to be amazing but juuuuuuuuust misses by a mile somehow.

No, just tap water like most Americans these days. If it would have been bottled they would have loved it.

I don't recall anything being said about tap water, and even so, that doesn't make it any less stupid.

Funny thing, for all the ridiculousness in Signs and The Village... I actually enjoyed them. The alien-finger thing in Signs freaked me out.

And as for the Avatar title, James Cameron and the company who made Avatar sued for the rights of the name. Hence the movie is just called "The Last Airbender." My wife and I will take our 4 year old to see this movie. We loved the cartoon. It was pretty good.
obviously you've never been able to harness the power of cleavage...

I'm with Brian on this one. "The Village" & "Signs" were both decent. I could barely bring myself to watch "Lady in the Water" all the way through. "The Happening" had some great scenes (people falling from roofs & the lady banging her head against the wall) but it became torturous to watch towards the end. I must say that "The Last Airbender" trailer looks good but then again so did the trailers for all of his films.

Speaking of trailers. Doesn't it irritate you when a trailer consists of the only good parts in a movie?
? :)
