M. Night is a good director, i like his style
he just sucks when he is the one writing the script or implementing his washed out "twist at the end of the story" elements..
otherwise.... it looks promising.. for an M Night flick...
looks good! can't wait.
the problem with movies casting kids as the main character is that they're always too old when it's time to make a sequel

How is this different from the one being directed by James Cameron?

James Camerons movie is just named Avatar... it has nothing to do with the cartoon
here's his movies plot synopsis with spoilers supposedly
In a distant future, humanity discovers the planet 'Alpha Centauri B-4', and for those scientists and astronauts who've traversed the gulf between neighboring suns and arrived on its alien soil know it as 'Pandora'. A world filled with an incredible diversity of beautiful and deadly ammonia-breathing lifeforms. Its also a world that harbors treasures and resources almost beyond price. But just as the original Pandora's Box wrought devastation on those who would use it for their own gain, so too this world may destroy not just the Pandorans home, but ours as well.
Avatar is the story of a wounded ex-marine, thrust unwillingly into an effort to settle and exploit an exotic planet rich in bio-diversity, who eventually crosses over to lead the indigenous race in a battle for survival.

that is probably the reason why M Nights's movie doesnt have the avatar title in it, maybe Cameron beat him first with the title

Should I be pissed off that Gandhi was played buy a white man in the movie?
There hired the best actor for the job so what if he is white.
I love the TV series, so I'm definitely going to check this movie out when it's out. I just hope there isn't a "twist" at the end.

Shamylan is the most overrated director on earth. I don't know how a guy who made ONE good movie (The Sixth Sense) and one decent movie (Unbreakable) gets to have his name attached to every movie title.

Shyamalan immediately butchered the Last Airbender series with this movie, from the terrible acting, rushed storyline, and generally wrong or vague information from the original cartoon series.
Plus, he got the actors' races all damn wrong.
To top it off, to complete the series, he'll have to make 2 more of this crap.

It was a rehash of the first season.
Iro wasn't a fat man.
Didn't see the faceless spirit.
So much of the storyline was cut out. Like the epic crazy parts in the cartoon.
3D was a fucking money grab, took off the glasses at some parts... it was perfectly clear. (IE no 3d effects used at all)
I saw this a week ago and the director ruined someone else's good work. I hope he never makes another movie again.

From what I hear, the movie is terrible.
The great part about the Avatar series was that it was FUN. It was kids having fun, acting like kids despite being part of this epic story. The movie has kids playing the roles but they might as well have been adults. I thought they put all the fight scenes in the trailer so people would think it's an action movie but apparently M. Night Shamananahahanasdngnama took all the fun and joy out of the story.
not related to the movie, but...
