This might be blasphamous, but I think if they cut out one or two fights (though Five Evil Exs doesn't sound as cool) for character this would have turned from a very fun detour until Wright's next collab into something honestly great.

I didn't mind, I knew they had to condense the 6 books into a single movie and I knew things would be lost. What I told my girlfriend when we left the theater is that the movie was how The Last Airbender should have been done.
And god damn some of the reviewers for this movie are really condescending.
Allybee:
yeah this movie inspired a lot of holier-than-thou reviews... there was an npr thing that pointed out how many reviewers stooped to poking fun at the audience. the new yorker review in particular was the epitome of snob.
I really liked this movie - my only problem was that mary elizabeth winstead didn't give us much reason to love ramona. but maybe the books don't, either, and that's the point. still, at the very end of the 6th, when she admits she was at her dad's and stuff, all the mystery kind of fades away and it turns out that they just like each other and I think that is the coolest part! or when she tells scott how old she is. none of that stuff is in the movie - she stays mysterious til the end. whatever I'm being a nerd.
anyways, super entertaining, and cera did a good job. coulda been cuter though. oh young neil <333
oh and did you guys see the animation short? I think it is really awesome.
