Title: Goddammit
Post by: fruckert on October 13, 2009, 04:08:49 AM: No (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473075/).
Just...no.
Why?

I guess I can see it working, but... Well, you know.

Post by: fruckert on October 13, 2009, 04:29:24 AM: I'm mainly terrified at the "Disney" stamp on the poster.
...and the casting.
Yeah, that makes no sense to me at all.
Ben Kingsley as a Persian sorcerer?
wtf

Sorry about that, I'm in a bad mood.

Post by: Zerlina on October 13, 2009, 03:41:45 PM: Maybe it would be too difficult for them without a name? They did the same thing with the English adaptation of My Sassy Girl (coincidentally, it sucked).

Post by: Darkfox on October 13, 2009, 08:11:09 PM: At this point, to have any faith in this movie would be denial. After all, we had several recent flops already, such as Transformers: The Special Effects and Bad Acting Movie, and Alley Fighter: The Story of Some Chinese Woman or Whatever.

Oh, please, there is no way that's

To be fair, it looks better than most adaptations.

Jordan Mechner came up with that name for the movie. He also co-wrote the script. (and if you don't know who Jordan Mechner is, you have no business bitching about this movie.)

I know who he is, but that changes nothing. Only because it is the author who made the crappy change, it doesn't make the change any less crappy.

If Kojima made a movie about Metal Gear and Snake was blonde with a austrian accent, because Kojima wanted so, it would only show Kojima doesn't know what his fans want to see.

Not exactly. Pretty much everyone from the Fire Nation is Indian/Middle Eastern/whatever. So basically, all the villains are brown people!

This is arguably better than before, when they cast Jesse McCartney as Zuko...I am not making this up. If you don't know who he is, he's a pop singer who has probably done something else that I can't think of. His only acting credits are from soap operas. Dev Patel's an improvement, but at the same time...the kid's not exactly "sexy, troubled heartthrob" material.
