Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

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?

jizzyjman The cartoon this movie is based off of was one of Nickelodeon's most successful cartoons. How the script ever landed in Shymalan's lap is beyond me, but what he did with it is still cringing this day. This movie was flawed from the ground up from the actors portraying them, to the special effects. The man had a complete road map of exactly every detail necessary to make that movie everything fans expected it to be. The main character in the show "Aang," was a kid who was joyful and hopeful even though he literally had the weight of the world on his shoulders.Did Shaymalan even ever once watched the show? Because the actor portraying as Aang was more just the complete opposite of just that. The feeling of depression crept up from a combination of the portrayal of acting and the disappointment of every expectation that was had going down the drain. It was like the film was meant to destroy the shows reputation on purpose by getting 90% of the shows detail wrong. With that being said, fire benders DO NOT need fire to be around an already lit fire to bend it. If it were suppose to be more realistic and not an adaptation of an already made cartoon, then it would be more acceptable. However, its already based on an existing fantasy. The special effects were D grade at best, what made it worse was that it was also made for 3-D. No need to go any further than that. If someone someone ever recommends this movie to you please admit them to the nearest psych ward.

fattony4 Watch the original series, it's amazing. i've loved it as a kid, and still love it as a 26 year old. i've rewatched it recently.this film is so bad i don't recommend anyone watch it, ever. i've seen it in the cinema and i should have gotten my money back and more.

sophiehansart Not super, but not as bad as everyone claims in the reviews.
