The remake for Let The Right One In ... called Let Me In ... what the hell!?!! First, the title is lame, then the trailer shows you exactly matching screen shots from the original movie, and it's just disappointing that they had to spend money on making the exact same thing knowing it can't get any better than the original.
Movies to dread

I really don't understand as to why this is being re-made, but hopefully that

Agreed, BTW what was

the person in the mask with the knife? Was that in the original movie?
There are a few things they could improve upon, but I highly doubt they'll do it. The movie is just going to be a load of shit that is being carbon copied from the original.IncantatioN said:
The guy in the mask
The only cool thing is the casting for the two main (kid) characters. That boy was pretty good in The Road.
could be the father. In the original, I don't think he wore a mask. Thinking back, I guess it makes sense.

There's not a whole lot to like about that movie, with it being a complete bastardization of the book.
I haven't read the book ... hahaha kinda explains why I prolly liked the movie so much! The movie, as a stand alone, did a good job of portraying a post apocalyptic world with a realistic feel and premise. The acting was good, and I wasn't disappointed by it. It's slow for the general public, but bearable. How different is the story in the book? ^_^

The movie has the wife in it far too much. After the wife went to kill her self in the book, that's it, the movie on the other hand repeatedly flashes back to hear, also the birthing scene was fucking ridiculous and shouldn't have been included. Basically adding so much more about the wife changed the theme of the story in more of a bad way
I've written more about the movie before in this thread.
Edit: Added more to the spoiler tag
Edit: Edit: I need to watch it again, I have mixed feelings about the movie. It's still a bastardization of a great book.
Heh I see your point, understandable. I know those
was a damper for a few friends online. But, I'll see if I can pick up the book. So much to read grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
flashbacks and putting the plot together (understanding it)

Those flashbacks weren't necessary at all, and I can't help but feel that the message to the story was changed for the worse.

Is his career dead after his latest turd?
Ohhh wow ... he kinda brought it on himself. I think if it were to catch up as a trend, the audience would ignore his movies.

I went to see The Knowing (with Nicolas Cage) in cinema when it was out here... it was really a mind-imploding experience. In a bad way. Just when I thought it can't take a turn for more cheese, stupid and predictability, it goes on and does just that. Multiple times.
Nicely done catastrophe scenes, though.

He really lucked out with The 6th Sense ... and I dug The Happening (yeah >_>), but everything else is B-movie material. The Last Airbender literally pissed me off, I can't remember the last time I was that mad at a movie director/ movie in general.

I keep hearing how bad The Last Airbender is, so like 2 weeks ago my g/f began watching the series on Netflix. While the cartoon is ok, I'm curious to see how bad the movie actually is. The series is too lighthearted for me (as my heart is BLACK) but my initial gripe is that everyone in the animated series is Asian (Like Chinese/Japanese and the like). Can someone tell me why there are so many Indian people in this movie? That's like filming Berserk and casting Guts as a macho Japanese dude. Um, pretty sure he's a white guy.
Yeah, the casting was all wrong, especially with the Fire Nation. It's easy to say they got 10% of the content correct from the original animated series. It's that bad. From the top of my head -
- character names are pronounced weird, like Iroh (eye-roh) was called eeeiiii-roh; Aang (aang like you'd say 'and') was called ung.
- too many tai-chi looking moves before anyone would actually air/water/earth/fire bend ... so cheesy. So in fast action scenes, you'd see them do this move for 2-3 seconds before they actually bended anything.
- They show Fire Lord Ozai's face too much, and the dude is (i) Indian (ii) has short curly hair ... wtfrack.
- Zhao is supposed to be a serious jealous character, instead you have an Indian Comedian playing the character *face palm*
- rushed story, waay rushed, however he has no problem slowing down the introduction for the audience.
- The Northern water nation easily accepts Aang's training - wrong, and there're MANY wrongs like this, especially the end where Aang creates a huge wave to scare off the fire nation ships (note: after a minute or 2 minutes of tai-chi moves) versus awakening and becoming the water creature.
- Zhao versus Zuko, the cool fight never happened.
- and, a lot more ...

If Wikipedia can be trusted (who knows?!), then he hasn't really had a total flop on his hands yet. All of his movies have made a profit (and pretty huge ones at that) up until Airbender, save for Lady in the Water which looks to have cut almost dead even. Granted, I find it hard to believe that The Happening made $163 million after how terrible it was... Maybe 'ole M.Night is editing his own pages...
Airbender box office stats: http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/2010/BENDR.php
Budget: $150,000,000
Total US Gross (as of July 22): $117,270,641
And if you check the table at the bottom of the page, it shows you that there isn't much time left to eke out more millions. This thing will just break even, at best.

Wow, looks like it bombed overseas! Go World! When you add back in the advertising, it could still have a prominent place on the list of biggest bombs! 
Hey, if he gets to a third film it will be more ambiguous, sounds so enticing!

I'm dreading the upcoming Green Hornet film starring Seth Rogen. I'm not that familiar with the television show, but Rogen doesn't seem like a very good fit to me.

It's just another example of what's wrong with Hollywood these days. They need to stop making sequels period. Sequels have no artistic merit, they exist merely to make more money for studios and milk original ideas dry. The only exceptions I can think of are sequels based on a series of novels or comics.
