Don't listen to the negative reviews
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
The Last Airbender is still a poetic masterpiece if you focus on picture, effects and music. Man's relation to nature and all of that. Beutiful.
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.
Don't get me wrong- the movie is a pretty bad remake. But the effects that go into the movie give it a real feeling of ATLA. If you were to have never seen ATLA and watch this movie then you might actually like it. But for extreme fans like most of us it was disheartening to watch this properly make fun of our beloved ATLA series. I do give them props though for casting a mostly Asian, middle eastern, and people of color cast with a few white people. I did not like though that Aang, sokka, and Irohs names were mispronounced. I get that that is the correct way to pronounce them but in the original series it pronounced them a different way and that was what we were used to. Give the movie a chance if you haven't. At least to see what bending looks like in live action ( not bad at all). But the $150 million spent on this movie should have been spent on casting actual talented actors and writers who did their research. It's not the worst movie I've ever seen but it comes pretty close. This movie series could have been amazing and could have lead to a sequel and a trequel. But it's too rushed and is just missing a lot of imortant moments. Plus a lot of other bad mistakes in this film. I give it a four because they tried and the effects were the only thing good about this movie. Besides Appa, he looked really different and looked like a soggy wet rag instead of a flying bison.
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.
