M. Night should retire, plz!
Bad movie, bad acting, bad script. Not worth spending any money if you ask me. Just too bad, the animated tv series was so good.
I enjoyed this movie, probably because I never watched the original TV series. There were a few cheesy moments throughout, but overall it was super entertaining and visually well done.
Though it features mediocre acting, awkward dialogue, and cinematography that was at times surprisingly terrible, the lore behind Avatar (I'm not calling it The Last Airbender...screw you James Cameron) was fantastic and if nothing else, made me want to sit down and watch the cartoon start to finish. So I guess it did it's job in that respect.
It was visually spectacular, with great special effects and CG. The actors were cast well and did a good job with the roles. It tried to follow the story in the cartoon a little to close and lost a little in translation but that was it's only fault.
Better than I expected, (according to the reviews I read). The effects are decent as is the plot! I will be going to see the sequel(s) if there are any. My 14 year old son and friends also enjoyed it.
M Night Shyamalan is a horrible director. The concept was great but actual execution fell apart badly. war scenes were like a tea party, character romance lacked development, air bender moves missed the extra punch that made me think he's waving hands and doing some kind of Tai Chi. Lastly character acting was very lousy. Don't bother watching this, you will be better off with DVD rental
Worst movie of the year...and worst movie M.Night ever laid hands on. I can't believe that huge budget went into this badly scripted, acted, directed, piece of lousy cinema. Even our kids hated it.
interesting special effects did not make up for the rest of the movie being bad (esp the acting)
So who liked the movie? Whoever does, you have no idea what the animation is about, this movie is sooo bad it is actually offensive! M. Night S-Whatever ur name is, plz do us all a favour, and let this be the last movie you will make plz? Promise us that, at least we can have a sense of relief now.
