It wasn't intended to be a haiku. Are we only supposed to post these reviews in Haiku form?
and fuck you whiskey. I can write haikus in my sleep. |

Roger Ebert: The Last Airbender is an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented. 1/2*
This from a man who (correctly IMO) gave Signs four stars. |

I must admit I was disappointed in the trailer I saw for "Airbender" in the theater. I'd had some hopes for it, but it looked like an incoherent mess of action-movie hyperactivity. Hoped it was just a bad trailer, but I guess not. |

1/2 * is his lowest rating in terms of quality. Zero stars is reserved for films that are unassignable with respect to stars (The Human Centipede) or reprehensible.(Caligula). |

Knight and Day: Okay, okay, I liked it. Cruise's film has the cheekiness of James Bond and the stroke-inducing intensity of Jason Bourne. Some of his stunts don't just defy probability, they defy physics, but who's counting. It's a fun, clever action flic.

Great haikus, but where are the opinions? That's the idea here, to create a haiku that also tells us whether the movie is good or not. |

So happy you liked it. This is a movie that should be seen by folks looking for a good time. |
