Since there are a bunch of threads, I've locked them. Please use this for discussion. Now, I don't care if you express your dislike or displeasure for the movie if you have it. However, don't sit here and whine and moan that it didn't follow the series 100% because new flash, adaptions like this NEVER do. Don't sit here and say stupid crap, make dumb jokes, spam, off topic posts, etc etc. It's annoying, not funny.

I'm excited, I'm seeing the movie after work tomorrow. Has anyone seen it in 3D? If so was it cool in 3D?

I want to challenge Shyamalan to an Agni-Kai.

I posted this earlier on a different thread but since this is the official movie topic i will repost my thoughts

I saw the midnight show, and i have to say it was pretty dissapointing. On the good side, the special affects were amazing, and alot of the scenes were very similair to that in the series, like the when aang and the blue spirit escape, that was a good scene And the Air Temples looked incredible in the movie.

But on the bad note here was a whole lot more. One of the things that got me upset was the overallpronunciation of everything. Theypronounced Avatar like aaavvatar, it sounded like they were gunna say alvacode. And they Sokka like Soaka, (as in soaked in water), they prounonced Aang similair to the way the say Avatar, and people in our theater that were clear fans of the show were literally laughing at how bad it was.

Also alot of the scenes in the show were meshed together in the movie. Yes i understand that they cant fit everything in the movie they simply dont have enough time, but the fact that they combined The Waterbending Scroll, Imprisonded, and Warriors of Kyoshi Island into about 10 minutes of the movie, the whole thing felt rushed. Oh and they Earthbenders who were imprisoned were not on a metal boat, they were in land, sorrounded by earth.

Finallythe characters just werent represented well in the film for me. Uncle Iroh was one of my favorite characters in the show, was a thing old man with dreadlocks and a slight RUSSIAN accent. And in the film you never really felt connected to thecharacters, and i could take Zhao seriously because he was Assif Mandvi from the Daily Show. Another thing i didnt like is how they basically switched the Northern and Southern Air temples, in the show he found the temple of past avatars in the southern air temple, while in the movie it was the northern, it was awful.

Also they didn't say Kataras name until the last 15 minutes of the movie!

They should have had Michael and Bryan approve!

4/10.

+ Good Visuals
- Rushed storie
- Laughable Acting

If you read my rant, thank you!

I really hope they make a second movie, and if they do they should make it a little bit longer. They barely developed any of the characters, Aang didnt seem to be his happy self like he was in the show, and sokka wasnt goofy or funny at all. They didnt even mention momo's or appa's name! Iroh was the best character in the show and still the best character in the movie. I really like how they made it that only the firebending masters could create fire, which made Iroh seem more badass towards the end of the show. The effects were great, the fighting was great, but they need to develop the characters in order to make this a better movie

OMG. I could not be more disappointed. I am the biggest fan and i couldn't find anything to tell someone why it was worth watching. Ive seen the 2D and the 3D. I assure you....there is very little difference. Save your money and see it in 2D. Tico, you hit the nail on the head, everything you said. I knew MNS was gonna destroy this movie. I've said it for 3 years.

Really I could have gotten around the name changes, but he crammed 6 hours of tv show into an hour and a half of rushed, skippy, choppy mess, cant be ignored or reasoned away. Even my 8 year-old son says the storyline is rushed and awful. My friend and I took the kids to McDonalds after the movie so the kids could get Avatar toys and as they played with them, they made comments like, "Hey the toy is crappy just like the movie". lol, they weren't wrong.
