My son had plans to go see the "airbender", then the other kid listened to the critics and wouldn't go. I looked it up on the net and no one had any real gripes other than something they could say to further thier organizations.

I think those critics are stooopid. We went and saw it and it's a pretty good movie. It's not of the sci-fi quality that we've come to expect, but I'm glad I saw it. I think the fact that this film seems more geared toward the under 20 crowd is what takes away. Not the story. I think it's a better story line than Avatar, which btw is the name of the animated series that Airbender is based on. The effects are decent, although the way the characters overdramatically dance around is a bit much. But look at it as a story, and as a movie that stands on it's own and believe me, there's far worse drivel on screens to waste your money on.

I never listen to the critics because we never agree on what is good or bad.

Critics can be way too critical. I've seen a couple of bombs I liked. What would you expect from a gay PETA environmentalist on a war film? Accolades?

The critics killed such classics like Animal House and Bullit. What do they know!

I knew it! I'm glad I put this on here. It just proves my point that the critics are a bunch of know-it-alls that have no idea how to just enjoy themselves.

Great Observation Mathew....seems like folks in the media use their positions to push their personal agenda instead of doing their JOB by being OBJECTIVE ...



Happy 4th!

I'm going to go see it.

I like SciFi

I'm also sick and tired of all the remakes.

Yeah, movies cost a lot of $$ to make, and they're afraid of spending $$$ to make a dog, but sheesh come on people.

Two years ago critics hailed Breakfast on Pluto. So my wife and I go and WTF... I thought with title like that it would scfy...wrong! Its about a guy living as a chick!! Hello! are critics nuts or lack of nuts. This experience got me a little gun shy when Transformers come out.

Has anyone seen Knight and Day? Looks like a funny version of Mission Impossible.
