So I saw a trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender (http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/thelastairbender/hd/), and it fell pretty flat. I was probably the only person in the theater laughing. Why was I laughing?
Because it reminded me of the Star Wars Kid. Ouch. Will Shyamalan ever make another movie worth seeing?

As we can see here, http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0796117/
he is making 2 movies which can be predicted as good.
1. Devil (2011) (filming) (story)
2. Unbreakable 2
Unbreakable 1 was great movie. so, I think 2 will be better. Btw M. Night Shyamalan is a great producer and also a great writer.

Am I the only one that doesn't think that The Last Airbender looks alright? I like the visuals we've seen, I like some of the director's other work, and I really like the source material. I know it's going to be different than the cartoon, and it appears a lot less comical and endearing, and a little more... epic in scope. I dunno. I want to see it, at least, before I pass my judgement, but I like what we've been shown so far.
I do, however, have a tendency to be overly optimistic about upcoming movies, and they almost always disappoint. <shrug>

I'm with you, Jexral. I want to see it too, but I know there's a good chance that it'll fall short. Although, from what I've seen in the trailers, I think it looks like it could be pretty good. Even if Shyamalan hasn't had an actual good movie for more than a couple of years.
I'm hoping this one will be good. Perhaps I'll be right, perhaps I'll be wrong. I guess we'll see.

Unbreakable 2? I (sort of) wish. Looks like it's gone from the site though.
I LOVED Unbreakable. I haven't liked any of his movies since then, though the Village wasn't horrible. I hated Signs.
