I know some of you will probably hate me for this, but The Last Airbender is an amazing movie. I'm not joking, I love this movie. What this movie does right is this movie knows what it is. The director M. Night Shyamalan understands what the movie needed to be, and he successfully did what he needed to do. The casting, special effects, the action sequences, this movie did a lot of things right, and to my surprise, it was actually kind of funny. Although it is not a perfect movie. I do have some problems with it and one of those problems are some things didn't make sense in the movie, and there is this one scene where the CGI looked noticeable, and they could've gone a better route with the ending, but besides those few problems, I found this movie to be one of the best movies of 2010. I found it underrated, and like I said before, some of you will probably hate me for liking this movie, but we all have opinions. I also want to point out that I think the show is bad. Honestly, it is such a bad show. That show does so many things wrong and it just gets old and old. After watching one episode of that show, I couldn't watch anymore episodes. I'm sorry, I love the movie, but hate the show, but like I said, we all have opinions.

This movie is a complete slap in the face to the amazing source material. A couple visual set pieces aside, this move fails completely in every area. There is nothing redeeming about this movie, the only reason it get's 2 stars instead of 1 is because at least 1 character's name was correctly pronounced.

I grew up watching the cartoon, Avatar : The last airbender shaped my childhood. I think it's safe to say or at least in my opinion it's one of the best stories you can have to adapt into a movie. Back in 2010 when i was only starting to be fascinated by movies and didn't know that much about what makes a movie good, to proof this, in my opinon Transformers(2007) was a good movie...Yeah. But somehow i managed to realize right from the start that this movie was about to destroy my childhood memories. They took the characters and destroyed them, fire benders all of the sudden needed fire to bend it and not make it out of nothing like we were used to. There are many ways to explain things but let's take a look at how to do it and how not to do it.Not : The movie, Katara explains everything. You can pull this off but not by just letting her stand up and explain things, this continues throughout the entire movie. Yes : Show people the things you need to explain or let Bumi do it in his funny way.Characters : Bumi : Why did you leave Bumi out? Sokka : So is he reckless or not? Wasn't he supposed to be Comic Relief? Aang : No words... Katara : Wasn't she supposed to be like a caring character instead of just being there explaining things and swapping being reckless with Sokka? Zuko : Good try by casting Slumbdog Millionair but didn't work, they even gave him hair? Iroh : Isn't wise like he's supposed to be.Acting : Just horrible.Typical Cartoon things : Missing in Action : Agni kai? Cool things? Good Story?All we can ask now is : Really Shyamalan? Why?

If you are like me, you hate watching a kid's movie and then walk away scratching your head. This movie has that potential.I liked the movie in spite of its short comings. I have not seen the Avatar cartoon, which may be why I over rate this as compared to die-hard cartoon fans. I have been a big fan of the early RPGs until my PS-1 died.The world consists of a number of spirits which create harmony (moon spirit, dragon spirit etc.). Mankind in divided into four nations, each of which controls one of the 4 elements, water and Earth, Wind & Fire. Each element has its own spirit too. Each Nation has people who can control their specific element. The are called "benders." There is one person, and only one person in all the world who can control all 4 elements, that is the Avatar. The Avatar spirit always lives and is passed on, or reincarnated in every generation.In this movie, the Avatar originated from the Air Bender nation. However, he didn't want to be an Avatar because of the self sacrifice so he ran away before he could learn all of his skills and powers. He ended up encased in a block of ice in the southern world, only to be "rescued" a 100 years later. During that 100 years, the Fire Nation and their machines have taken over the planet. They symbolically represent civilization destroying the planet and ruining the harmony of nature. The Air Bender must learn to master the other 3 elements in order to become a complete Avatar. This is his quest in the movie. Once he does that he can save the planet from the Fire Nation. He is capable of going into a deep trance and talks to the dragon spirit for advice.Now to make this movie slightly more complicated there is friction within the Fire Nation. The king has disowned his son (a Fire Bender played by Dev Patel, who was a good guy and bad actor in "Slumdog Millionaire" now is simply bad all around.) The son is tasked to bring the would-be Avatar to the king to prove his worth. At the same time, the evil fire general, (Noah Ringer, who is great on Comedy Central but stinks in Air Bender) is trying to bring back the Avatar also.The acting wasn't solid. The script is filled with holes.
