I was saddened. No offence M. Night. The acting was horrible and it sounded like they were reading streight off of the script without stop. Noah Ringer showed a tad of potental I admit, his acting was good in some places, but the results still were a downer, the boy hardly smiled and his air bending looked like he was pretending to be an octopus. Katara was always so emotional, and she seemed more like a little girl than the 'motherly' figure. 'Soeka' (or as I call him) Soaks all of the fun out of everything, didn't match Sokka at all, he was FAR too serious, he always looked so angry and he hardly said ANY funny lines. And for Zuko, they must realize he growl in EVERY sentence he said in the cartoon, in the movie he sounded like he yelled everything. 'Eroh' I must say was a promising actor, but he wasn't as layed back, but the actor wasn't too bad. Although they need a chubbier actor, excuse me saying so, but Iroh was short and fat, not tall and skinny. None of the characters looked themselves, Aang sort of did, but not really, it looked like they obviously shaved his head. Katara and Sokka were Innuit, not pure as snow white, they could have hired African American's even for that role. The Fire Nation was Eastern Asian at least, not Middle Eastern. Especially Zuko in the show, he looked more Asian than most of them. As for the Earth Kingdom, they should just have all Asian actors for that one, not just TWO. They made Haru a little boy, and at the end, the girl that plays Azula is in her twenties, when Azula was only 14 years old, like Katara. If they could find someone around Katara's age to play the role, they can find a young girl that looks like Azula ('I' even look like Azula!) The affects were decent, but they were moving far too slow, they could have just rolled out of the way! The thing with the Fire benders needing a 'source of fire' is silly, if that was true, I don't think they would have gone as far as they did in the war. The people that were 'bending' looked more like they were just moving their arms all over, it hardly matched. You just couldn't relate to any of the characters, you could hardly grow on them. The set just seemed... cluttered. Little fun. Ozai didn't look scary, the characters look nothing like they should have, the names were said wrong, Appa looked like he was from "Where the Wild things Are" while Momo (his name was never said) looked like he came out of a video game. If they mess up Azula and Toph, I'm dropping it completely.

I did not see the movie and i knew that it was bad. I had already seen some of the actors in other movies and all i could see was those actors as they were in the other movies and tv shows. I also thought the movie looked really serious were as the tv show was light and happy. I am glad i did not go and see the movie

The movie had noting to do with the original cartoon series and overall the worst movie of this year.

I watched this as a fun-flick, since I knew they were more than likely going to mess up, and I was still a little shocked by the inconsistancy. Since I know no one will be reading this to read me ranting about those details that were missed in the film from the actual show, I'll cut to the chase. First, the acting. It was ok, except for one guy. Zuko. He was an absolute ham! A tip for anyone reading who want to act or direct in a movie one day; just because the character is confused and angry does NOT mean that he should yell and shake every chance he gets. Now for the film work. I love close-ups. They show you the character's true emotions! Now, when you do close-ups in almost every shot just for the fun of it, then I get upset. Now, most importantly, the Bending. It was accurate, and did incorporate many martial arts movements from the shows, but there was something missing. Maybe I just liked the cartoon bending more because it was so fuid and cool, whereas these were sometimes choppy and awkward. Overall, If you want to take your kids out to see this, alright. Just be prepared to explain the entire movie to them, seeing as they assumed everyone watched the series and went on with the film that way. If you are a serious Avatar fan, see it for the Banding and maybe just to see your favorite characters on the big screen. Just be ready to rant later about how many parts it missed. Honestly, if the people who made this had put half as much effort and time into it as those who made films like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars prequels, they would have nailed it. Sadly, they did not. Thanks for reading!

Hated it!!! I and my family are huge fans of the series. My husband and I went to see it. We were honestly interested to see how it would be adapted, perhaps some real Kung Fu forms, story line changes and twists, etc. The movie felt so hard and flat on its face we left after the first twenty minutes. Most of the actors need a lot more classes. Lame would be a good word for it. By the way Aang is now pronounced Ong and Sokka is now Soaka, Uncle Iro is Earo.

Okay, if you have seen Avatar: The Last Airbender the anime cartoon series, you will hate this movie! I wish I could rate it zero stars. It is hard for young kids to understand, and even the kids who loved the cartoons to stay interested. It is not intriguing, and I was very bored throughout the film. The actors acted cheesy, as though that was the only joke. There were no jokes by Sokka, the usual comic relief, ( was mispronounced Soe- kah) and the names were mispronounced. Uncle Iroh, another extremely funny character was old, skinny, and more evidently wise, (mispronounced Eer-oh). Aang, the head character, the Avatar, had no personality and love of fun. He was way too wise, and they pronounced his name awng, instead of ang. Zuko's personality was changed, the scenes were different, and I hated the way they destroyed the amazing cartoon series.

Nothing is innaproprite in this movie but, it didn't exactly match the plot of the cartoon. It was a very serious movie that had little or no humor in it and the violence was was nothing too bad. It wasn't exactly boring but, a disappiontment for fans of the cartoon. I am a fan of the cartoon and when I saw the movie I was very disappointed with it...stick to the cartoon.

This movie was horrible!!! My friend and I love The Last Airbender series but this movie was not worth the time or money to see. They changed the names, more than half of the plot line, and in general the entire story! If you want to see this movie just watch the series instead because this movie butchered the entire show! I hated it!

I'm sorry, but how? How can Avatar fans bring themselves to like this? It boggles the mind! Do these people have low standards? Do these people just think everything related to Avatar has to automatically be the best thing ever? If anything, this is a horrid, horrid disgrace to the original source material! I thought that this could work. When I saw that they were attempting to make the character designs accurate, I was expecting something good and true to the original, or at least capture the spirit of the original. (Like how Fantastic Mr. Fox deteriorates from its source but still carries the spirit of the book) We get none of that. Instead, we get a boring, BORING movie that has nothing that made me love the show so much.
