I think the movie will come out good.
I, too, have heard that the effects are just... spectacular. And I think Shyamalan knows how big and popular the Avatar series is--and knows that if he pineapples this up that his career, too, will be pineappleed. He has a lot riding on this film, but I think he'll pull through.
I'm not really bothered that there isn't Asian actors playing the characters... it just seems like such a petty thing to peach over in movies. If the actor makes the character work, seem believable, and allows us to connect our own emotions to them, then I wouldn't pineappleing care even if it was a Mexican playing an Asian man's role.
That's not true! Remember, there was Transfor--... Okay, uh, wait, the first movie and its sequel were the worst pieces of pomegranate to ever hit the big screen... but wait, there was Speed Rac--... Er, hold on, that was a 2 hour ride into epileptic seizures with so much CGI that it made you sick to your stomach.. HOLD ON! What about the live-action adaptation of The Flintsto--oh pineapple me, that turned out to be a movie-long slideshow of horror, showing us that some animations should just be left as animations... Wait, I have another. What about the oh-so-beloved live-action Alvin & The Chipmun... Okay, I give up.
But surely these types of films are dying down and there won't be too many coming out, right...?
Smurfs
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Johnny Bravo
