Reviews
Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
jansergeant For me it wasn't as bad as reviewed by many. I gave it a 6/10. Acting is decent, visually it isn't a master piece but still beautifull. The story is a bit of a high speed rambling but this is in general with movies based on cartoons. The editing in the beginning of the movie wasn't good. SFX were top! Remember this was the 19th most viewed movie of 2010 in theaters.. but also that could have been perhaps much better.
ttopostman-89801 If you liked the show at all this movie is terrible...just terrible
TheMunkeyBoy Some better scripting & direction and this could have been something pretty special. There's some amazing scenery and effects. But there's also some very average acting and poorly written disjointed scenes.
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.
