"People scare better when they're dyin'."

-- Henry Fonda's character, explaining why he went beyond scaring away settlers as he was paid to do.

So I go over to Rotten Tomatoes. The "best" Twilight movie has an RT score of 52. Rotten. But it must be Citizen Kane compared to Airbender. goodvibe61 Jun 30, 23:35

WOW ! I Just Read Some Of Those BRUTAL Twitter Reactions And People Are Not Likeing This Movie At All. :( wrongturn687 Jun 30, 23:41

So, Airbender is a sure short? {nm} petz Jun 30, 23:53

In HSX nothing is for certain. {nm} Skauge Jun 30, 23:58

It had lots of midnight sellouts. {nm} dsbman Jul 01, 00:07

The CinemaBlend review hints of bad writing, but material with such potential and beauty it could have the next LOTR in it... Facto Jul 01, 00:32

Do bad reviews stop the little kiddies from coming to see a movie? APRedona Jul 01, 00:36

Seems like perhaps the studio knows it's bunk, just as happened with Jonah Hex.. They're quietly dumping it - drowning it in Twilight-roar {nm} Facto Jul 01, 01:34

No! It tells me it must be a sure long! Grown Ups at 10% on RT = 40 million opening, so Bender at 6 % could mean 60 million. goodvibe61 Jul 01, 00:43

Heh, Glengarry Glen Ross.. Now that's a *fine* movie.. But looking at Twitter, the reactions really are of disgust, almost across the board. Facto Jul 01, 01:07

There have been many absolutely horrid films that have been longs in the past so until we see box office numbers it's still up in the air. {nm} mrbeankc Jul 01, 02:18

Yeah, but those were longs because HSX had *underestimated* them all the way until release. BENDR seems to come from the other end. {nm} Facto Jul 01, 02:36

To re-state: Those films had reputations of being stinkers a long way out. BENDR was only just recently - yesterday, in fact - revealed to Facto Jul 01, 02:38

Awesome choice for a western! Once Upon A Time is one of the greats. Smelly Monkey Jul 01, 00:23

Why thanks Monkey! {nm} goodvibe61 Jul 01, 00:44

Airbender is going to be cannibalised by all the other big movies, there is basically not marketshare for everyone to succeed.. {nm} Teabagger Jul 01, 01:47
