I think that someone might have just stolen your manhood cause I never knew you were such a girl Rick. lol

Ok, I'm not really sure where to start with this, however why does Hollywood feel the need to take every comic or cartoon that I love and just turn it into crap or something that was just stupid or boring. I wasn't extremely upset with the movie, mad but not irate, but I found myself being bored with most of the movie to be frankly honest. I think my issue was that I hyped myself up too much when I knew I was going to be disappointed.

I agree with most of the comments made by suleman and the anime fan side of the review. The mispronunciations of most of the main characters really was annoying. I mean they are basing it off of something that already exists. I really don't think Shamalamadingdong ever watched the show as he says he did with his kids.

I think the thing that made the most upset was that they didn't even make Aang a kid like he is supposed to be in book one. They referenced some of it within the flashbacks but it still wasn't set in. And why did they have to make Aang such a pussy? I mean he looked like he was about to cry in every bloody scene! As also mentioned the final battle was more like a joke.

There are many things I could rant on but I think that would be kind of pointless. The fan of the show in me is screaming but to those that haven't seen it wouldn't get most of the references. I can say if you've never seen the show and either liked the movie or just thought it was ok, go and pick up the cartoon. It is well worth it and then you might be upset as others when you have seen what the movie could have been.

Over all I didn't think it was a load of steaming dung, but I definitely didn't think it was good. As I said before, I was just bored watching it and more disappointed about how amazing the movie could have been if just a few minor things were changed.

I have to say I am extremely excited about this movie. I've been a huge fan of the animated series and got most of my friends hooked on the show. I'm a big 80's cartoon and cartoon freak in general and its always hard to find a good cartoon on TV with the current string of crap thats out there. Avatar the last airbender is a good blend of action, comedy and drama with a good message for any of the kids watching but still enough good stuff for us adults.

I know I was very nervous when I found out that M. Night Shamalamadingdong was going to be involved with this movie. He scares me as a director and I'm hoping that he doesn't try to do anything stupid to this as he likes to do with all of his other movies. However with my bias in mind, I am hopeful because everything I've seen and read about the movie has me extremely excited and I still am.

I have not seen the movie yet and I am planning to see it in the IMAX (best way to see this movie, so might as well do it right!) on Friday and I will definitely be back here to hopefully rave about it, lol. I hope others will see this and are as excited as I am about it and if not I guess I'll just have to make them be, lol.
