Looks like my debate about whether or not to watch the A:TLA movie (over the whitewashing) are completely unfounded, as critics are tearing into it like a steak dinner.

Okay, TOTALLY dropped from the "maybe" list.

It was difficult to stop laughing when coming across bad review after bad review this morning. I know it's not a movie intended to please critics but it really seems to be even worse than expected. I almost started to feel bad for M. Night. Almost. Seems like this was a colossal waste of effort from start to finish.

To quote my friend Damo, "M Night Shamalan, please learn to say names correctly, as well as normal words. Aang, Sokka, Avatar, Iroh, and Agni Chai, were all said wrong, and painful to hear every time."

I can almost - almost - forgive him the alternative pronunciations as a form of artistic license, but AVATAR?! It's a standard word in the English language, FFS! How do you change the pronunciation of that?!

I'm still going to go see it tonight, just to have seen it, but I don't hold out too much hope...
