Wow! I just watched it for the first time 2 hours ago. I thought it was decent, but I have never seen the animated series.

Just the fact that the sad face was next to this thread's title made me burst out in cacophonous laughter.
Haven't seen the movie, but the show was okay from what I saw of it. The animators didn't feel the need to make every character look as american as possible lol
This movie is a ****ing comedy now. There's a part where Katara gets knocked out like an idiot, and right after the Waterbender soldiers are all standing with spears ripping off LOTR The Two Towers, and then this dude lets rip this girlish bellow and everyone stamps their sticks like they're jerking off. I burst out laughing for 5 minutes.
I saw it for the first time just a couple of weeks ago The graphic work, costume design, choreography, I thought were nice. Deffinetly on par with what's out there today, or prior. But the acting was sub-par mostly with the younger actors.... I thought the actor who played Ang was trying out for a game loft voice-over. the story was written fairly decently, and I hope they go on to make the other "books" (I guess). As someone not entirely familiar with the animated series, I thought it was an acceptable adaption for anyone new to the series. Just that acting...hope they can add some realism to it...it sounded to scripted.
Avatar's graphic style is so heavily influenced by animes that I even consider it one. I'm not an idiot.
Yeah, American remakes generally suck in all other regards so I can't see their attempting to steal a whole art style being much more effective
Well, you sounded like one when you discredited an entire genre because you don't like the graphics. It'd be like saying every single game made around 5th gen (N64/PS1) cannot be decent , because those graphics are disgusting.
Nope, those graphics are the best that could happen in that era of consoles. Anime is just... shitty. For me. It would keep me from enjoying even the best storylines.
I actually didn't really mind this movie. It didn't change my life, but as far as mediocre action movies are concerned I've seen far, far worse. In my opinion, the main issue with M. Night Shyamalan is that the full length feature film medium isn't ideal for his style of story telling. The Last Airbender isn't that great of an example of this, but when you look at movies like The 6th Sense, Signs, The Village, etc, all of those movies would be absolutely FANTASTIC in a ~30 minute short film format. When you stretch those stories out to two hours there's lots of filler, lots of hitting you over the head with shit, and everything else. Imagine how much better of a movie The Village would be if it was like (white text for spoilers) the girl hops over the fence, sees the jeep, you realize it's modern day... roll credits. Not that entire 10 minute long flashback that essentially says "Hey idiots, THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING, REMEMBER ALL THIS?!?!" <-- hilight this if you've seen The Village.
