Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

ttopostman-89801 If you liked the show at all this movie is terrible...just terrible

zloopkick This guy shouldn't direct anymore. Nickelodeon needs to redo the movie adaption and listen to the creators and fans on how it should be made. This was the most disappointing and frustrating movie to want to enjoy, but couldn't.

theemperrors 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?

Michael Ledo 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.
