So, I just got back from the movie place seeing that movie, Mr"Whatatwist" did a pretty good job on taking the series and bringing it to the big screen.

For the most part the movie followed the series, they did blow thru Book 1: Water very quickly missing out on some small details and everything, but it was still good. One thing that annoyed me was that they got the names wrong, Ah-ong, ya >.> Aang >.> research plox.

The action was pure win, You saw the elements being used, and there was talking but they did drag out the action parts which was good. Most people in the theater knew the storyline, because they were screaming out the faults in the movie, so getting to the action faster would have been a plus but I still enjoyed it.

They did hit the key points in the movie from the series which was good, but pretty much going from esp. 1 to the end of book 1 was kinda sad they did stop at different places helping people out but thats what makes the series good we see aang helping others.

So at the Northern Water Tribe, we see that Sakua falls in love, love dies, they only knew each other for about 2-3 weeks and they were in love, wtf? Emo love story right hurr. Anywho they pretty much end Book 1 where Aang becomes a water spirit beast and rips the Fire nation a new one, in this one he "lets go" that he ran away and was the reason his brothers, sisters and teachers died.

He pretty starts praticing water bending Martial Arts, all the element styles of firing are based on real martial arts fyi. So he does this for a few minutes enters the Avatar state, which he does like 5 times, and makes about 100 ft wave and watches the fire nation go bye bye.

So at the end we learn that Comet is coming in 3 years which is incorrect because it comes about 6 months to a year after Aang returns to the world.

Pretty much I liked it, better than that fairy of a movie Twilight, DOnt really feel like seeing nerco and bestality, and if you feel the same, go see The Last Airbender and enjoy yourself :)

You're the first person to say something good about this movie, everybody else said it was garbage. I heard they skipped a lot and it was just a mess. Lots of action and nothing else made sense. Lots of people said they'd just rather go watch the cartoon instead. I kinda want to see it, but probably not.

it makes sense you just have to watch the entire cartoon series and you will get it.

They do skip some things and overlook others but over all they hit the nail on the head.

I wont sit here and say its perfect cause its not.

I get dizzy sometimes from 3D too
but don't they offer this in regular 2D?
and if I haven't watched the cartoon series will I be able to get the movie?
Because I went to see Star Trek in theaters I didn't get parts of the movie because I haven't seen the show..

You will understand it Ice, but there will be a few situations that will arise and you will be like wtf. like i said it missed on some of the small details that made make a huge difference.

You will get the overall story


If your talking about the new star trek that came out a year ago or so didnt follow the tv show.

That was when kirk was still a teenager fresh out of StarFleet Academy. So it wouldnt follow the show.

Yeah I err, heard that it was pretty crappy.
Missing characters, missing stuff.

Also a lot of people were upset that all the actors were white.



Not sure if I'd see it :\
