Here's hoping Twilight sweeps them all.
I dunno, M. Night. Shyamalan really outdid himself here.
While nothing can top the sheer idiocy of the plot to
The Happening (Holy Hell even the title sucks), at least the movie had its entertaining moments ("You're after the secret recipe for my lemon drink!").
The Last Airbender is such a perfect example of exactly how NOT to tell a story that I think it should be textbook. It was about as interesting as reading a newspaper while waiting at the doctor's office and the only thing on TV is a Thai-Chi video.
Can't believe I'm saying this, but as vapid, idiotic and boring as the Twilight "Saga" is, there's no contesting Shyamalan's ability to take a GOOD cartoon's plot and characters, then re-script it to be the most hideously pointless thing ever (well, 2nd most pointless but I won't get into that).
That is to say:
Twilight: Eclispse never stooped to making 90% of its dialogue self-imposed exposition.
While we're on the subject of Razzies, might I suggest a new honorary category?
Most Bullshit Preview/Trailer For a Movie
Case in point: The trailers for both
The Last Airbender and
Twilight: Eclipse were misleading to the point of fraud. Twilight's trailer prominently featured the "Werewolf vs Vampires" scene and tried desperately to fool the audience into thinking anything actually happens in that film.
Airbender just flat out deleted half of the cool shit that was in the trailer; most of the trailer footage was created by an entirely different firm than the ones who shot the fucking movie!
And it was much better.
Talk about a bait and switch!
Which one is worse? Hmm. Tough category.
I'll let you make the call, but I'm going with Airbender.
Why? Because nobody was fooled by Twilight. Nobody should be at this point.
But the Last Airbender at least had the potential to be GOOD.
