I saw the movie today and almost walked out it was so horrible!!!
I have hated M. Night for awhile now, and was worried about what he'd do to this movie, and it was worse than what I was afraid of.
The casting was all wrong. The kids could not act, meaning Katara and Aang. Just horrible.
The characters were not the beloved characters I know.
How hard is it to call Gran Gran, Gran Gran? Instead just Grandma. And the white actors among the Native American/Eskimo type Water Tribe looked so stupid.
The Fire Nation really should have been played by Japanese or Oriental actors. I hope I said that the right way, I'm not sure how else to put it.
The movie was a horrible mess. They could've done better. They should have had a different director.
The cartoon is so good and such a high quality show, and loved by many, and it deserved better than this. They should have just left it alone. The live action film is an insult to the outstanding animated series.
The Harry Potter movies had great child actors, and even if they weren't great early on, they were still good, and not as horrible and stiff and pathetic as the kids in the last airbender.
I didn't see Avatar at all, all I saw was M. Night doing his own stupid thing, and they should really stop him from making any more movies. Or at least just keep him away from good projects like this.
They cut out too much, and nothing happened. Seriously, in Harry Potter they have to cut some stuff but still keep alot of the good stuff, as much as possible and they keep the main spirit of it all, but Avatar had nothing.
The heart was cut out along with everything else.
I hate you M. Night Shyamalan!
You're a hack!!! No talent moron!!!
I really love the cartoon and this movie ticked me off.
They won't make the sequels, it'll end up like those other sucky adaptations that won't get their sequals, like Eragon, and so on.
I always thought Avatar was right up there with Harry Potter, it was just a cartoon instead of a book, although the seasons were called Books, as you fans know. And I know I mentioned Potter alot but, it's 'cause it's the only other kids' series I could think of that was so cool and well done.
Avatar was like the Kung-Fu HP. The cartoon series was so well done. That movie does not exist to me. It went against all of the good they put into that series.
They tried to keep Appa from being just a vehicle, so what do they do in the movie, just tuned him into a vehicle.
I can't even talk about it any more. To me the live action movie doesn't exist.
The animated series is all there is.
