| _______________________________________ [Jun 22,2010 11:34am - the_reverend ""] you see toph in this one, but she looks like a girlie girl and not a tough girl. you also get to see appa! bennyhillifier |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 22,2010 11:35am - the_reverend ""] I have absolutely no clue how they are going to fit all 3 books into one movie. |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 22,2010 11:44am - the_reverend ""] oh, I don't think that was toph. I Think that was one of the northern water girls that sokko falls for. Toph blocks the fire at the beginning of this one bennyhillifier |

| ______________________________________ [Jun 22,2010 1:22pm - the_reverend ""] really? cool. |
| ___________________________________________________________ [Jun 22,2010 1:37pm - ArrowHead Logged In .... Or NOT! ""] The cartoon always seemed gay, but this actually looks good. They got me at the "In 3D" part. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 27,2010 9:52pm - the_reverend ""] The cartoon ruled. "Based on the hugely successful Nickelodeon animated TV series, the live-action feature film “The Last Airbender” is the opening chapter in Aang’s struggle to survive." awesome, but I hope they get the same actor/director for all. Also this one shows toph fighting the firenation, but that didn't happen til book 2. |

I, for one, an unphased. As much as I hate M.Knight, the trailer made this movie seem interesting even though I know nothing about this comic.(the trailer with him in a temple on a cliff with ships and ships pulling up around it) |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 27,2010 10:29pm - the_reverend ""] those are air temple... I think the coolest air temples are in the 3rd book when zuko comes to find them. |

| ___________________________________ [Jul 2,2010 7:08am - arilliusbm ""] Yea... Heard it sucked |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 2,2010 8:25am - the_reverend ""] I'm going to go see the first showing saturday I hope. |

Night did an excellent job making it exactly like the cartoon. All the characters act just like they did in the cartoon. This translates terribly into real people. Makes them all stiff and awkward. There are also a crap load of times in the cartoon where people just speak their emotions. Like when they are scared or sad just for one scene. Doesn't work well for real people. Real people just need to act scared and not say "I'm scared". Tons of the scenes from the movie were taken directly from the cartoon including weird angles. I loved this cause I could see why it was like that. Like the monk running up the stairs, Yue becoming Tui, etc... They also glossed over and crammed in too much. This should have been a longer movie. The only thing is that in the cartoon, book one, they also glossed over a ton of stuff. the 3D was useless. Don't see it in 3D. there is no point. Save the money and mail it to me. Aaron Pepelis PO Box 6571 Portsmouth, NH 03801 or paypal: orders@returntothepit.com It added absolutely nothing to the movie and the movie experience except for the cost. My one criticism (besides who they cast for katara and sukka the only non-eskimos in the tribe? wtf!) is that I didn't like the way they showed the avatar state at the end. Hell, I don't think they even said "avatar state". He's suppose to be come one with the ocean spirit. They didn't show the ocean spirit out of it's fish form. (last picture here) http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Siege_of_the_North my conclusion is if you liked the cartoon, go see it. If you don't like japanized cartoons, don't see it. I high suggest that everyone goes and watches the cartoons first and then see the movie. |

| ________________________________ [Jul 3,2010 2:13pm - sxealex ""] movies are movies cartoons are cartoons if someone made a movie exactly like a book then it would be shit... same goes for this |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 3,2010 4:43pm - zenerik nli ""] Aaron: You've written the only positive review of this movie in existence. I have yet to see the cartoon and probably never will. Same goes for the movie. Did the cancel the 2nd and 3rd movies yet? |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 3,2010 5:03pm - the_reverend ""] i wouldnt call it positive. loving the cartoon, i liked this. but it's acted and written just like the cartoon. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 3,2010 5:12pm - zenerik nli ""] Understood. I know a lot of people that love the cartoon. I just have such a backlog of other ones to get to that I might forget about Avatar: The Last Airbender when I finally have time for it. A pretty awesome trilogy of live action movies based on manga (not quite the same as a Nick cartoon) would be 20th Century Boys. The story is ridiculously awesome. But the movies are not particularly high budget. [img] |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 3,2010 6:02pm - the_reverend ""] i loved the last airbender cartoon. after i watched them, i wanted to watch the dragonball z's cause i was hoping it was similar. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 6,2010 9:49pm - the_reverend ""] wait. wait. wait. Avatar Roku was in the movie? How did I miss that? Avatar Roku is huge! bennyhillifier |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 6,2010 10:21pm - narkybark ""] This has 08% on rottentomatoes... aaron you trendbreaker! |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 6,2010 10:37pm - Boine nli ""] The cartoon is good but I can't see a whole season as a movie being good but has to be better then the dragon ball movie that was nothing like the early dragon ball at all |
| __________________________________ [Jul 29,2010 12:11pm - Doomkid ""] I just finished watching the cartoon series yesterday. I must say, one of the best animated shows I've seen in a while, especially since its a kid's show. Plus the music was badass. bennyhillifier |
