I've heard from friends and many sites that paying to see The Last Airbender in 3D is a ripoff. The movie was shot for 2D then went through post-conversion process  to make it 3D. This means not only is there no reason to pay more to see it but the conversion renders the darker scenes incomprehensible. 

Now technically I believe that paying to see the 2d Airbender is just as much of a ripoff. Who wants to see more of a shitty movie? I still believe Blues Brothers 2000 would have been better in ZeroD, where you sit in an entirely dark theatre and occasionally a song plays. 

How did M. Night come to this? Let's take a look (ignoring Wide Awake, if I wanted to see Rosie O'Donnell as a nun who plays baseball i'd ... (insert joke here))

The Sixth Sense (B+): Cool little movie that is actually more fun the second time even though technically it makes absolutely zero sense.  I don't care if you figured out the twist b/c a) you're lying b) it doesn't matter anyway, the movie's a cool low-key ride. 

Unbreakable (A-): What if superheroes actually existed? A million comics, movies and tv shows have tackles the idea. but none like this. its like watching the original Superman played a-thousand-percent realistic.

Signs (B+): This movie's beautifully shot. Love the birthday video. I'm curious how the movie would be different if he got his original choice Clint Eastwood. Also anyone who bitches about the water stuff at the end is an idiot. The 'how we beat the aliens' beat is always the most pointless obligatory part, and this had at least been set up. 

The Village (C): This is where it all falls apart. Signs just made hundreds of millions of dollars and no one told him that he was writing a shitty TV episode. I wish he would keep the first half of this movie and then have the guts to actually follow through. 

Lady in the Water (C-): This is a sub-first draft. Apparently people at Touchstone had the audacity to tell him the script wasn't ready. So instead of - you know - working on it, he went to Warner Bros. They gave him 80 million bucks and in a rare moment in history, Touchstone was proven correct.

The Happening (D): What do you even say? Not only does the movie suck, but the acting sucks, the cinematography sucks, the dialogue sucks, the logic sucks, the fucking craft services probably sucked. This is not a movie. It is a filmed 'idea abortion.'
