The kid who played Aang in this move is actually SUPER cute and cheerful and sweet in all the behind the scenes clips I've seen. He's literally like a textbook copy of Aang in real life, but for some reason Shyamalan directed him to act the role as a stoic emotionless human doll instead.

[@Ganom-ng1zt]

@Rebecca Goldstein The art direction wasn't a problem. This is only my opinion, but overall I think that the visual effects were a pain in the eyes outside of few examples, such as the water bending ability. The textures of some of the elements are arguable bad designed or bad portrayed, either of those count for me in the category of having "bad effects". Such effects don't even look in place; that's probably a consequence of the bad direction that the movie has and we can take the example of the minute 10:20 with the group of dancing buffoons bending one tiny rock. The CGI wasn't even good for me, Appa felt like it was limited to the exposure of lazy cinematography so they wouldn't have to show his full body, not to mention that they didn't even show his face that much and having him in the background for most of the time was a waste, but well, make of that what you will.

I keep editing this comment to add things I’m remembering. M. Night should be as criticized as he is/was because he clearly wasn’t even trying to stay true to the show that so many people loved. He was just trying to make money off of what so many people loves.

It was the rock scene that made my dad, sister and I walk out. Didn't even stick around to watch the rest of the Bullshit.

[@CaesiusX]

Watching *Shane* during the replay (1:07:44) is so funny and even a little _sad_ (but more _funny,_ IMO), because it seems clear he actually likes it. It just shows how we all can view _the same thing_ but perceive it differently. Like *Eric* said, fans were so excited. They dressed up like a *Star Wars* premier. Then, they get _this._ So one can imagine just how devistated they were. Even if you consider that this was going to be several films, much of the exposition was actually kind of pointless. Zhao mentioning Iroh's son had no place in the film. And when Katara told Zuko that she's _the last waterbender in the Southern Water Tribe_ I wanted Zuko to say, _"Okaaaay. Why are you telling me this? And why should I care?"_ I understand why they probably made firebenders bend this way. Because from an outside perspective, every other bending power can only manipulate elements already around them. However, as *Eric* noted, it depowers the Fire Nation _a great deal._ In fact, if _most_ firebenders can't _create_ fire, then they're at a _huge_ disadvantage to every other nation. *Each technique that the other nations use is **_ideal for putting out fires._* Even though air can _feed_ fire, we also know that air benders can remove air from an area. So, I don't know how the Fire Nation could have become so threatening or become so powerful in this version of the world. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@TheVideomasterg]

Because every bending style takes 15 moves to use the simplest technique I can see the fire nation getting the edge on the other nations because of their industrialization, wich allows them to get better weaponry. Honestly while I enjoyed the movie the first time I saw it I've gotta say the elemental bending is lackluster in this movie, it's so slow that it would be more effective to just phisicaly attack your opponent than earthbending, for example.

[@Dantezgt]

​@@jarlbalgruuf2415 You do know that Koizilla was the wrath of the ocean in physical form, right? I mean, it took the death of the moon spirit and the presence of the avatar to create the Koizilla (and that was made better in the original show that the Koizilla killed Zhao, the one who caused all that ruckus). It would be total BS if the Koizilla showed up again unprovoked.

The problem with the film is that it's bad, but it's not so bad as to be good. It's just.....bad. Add on the lack of respect for the source material (changing the pronunciation of the names as an example), the complete lack of understanding of the bending and the main characters. Glossing over things that are important to the story (We started a rebellion), the rushed plot, and the terrible pacing. It's just bad.

[@WebHeadification]

Honestly, one of the most disappointing moments in this film for me was the introduction of Azula. In the show's first season, in the two extremely brief scenes you saw her, you could tell straight away that this was one seriously intense character, that you just know is going to be a force to be reckoned with. The Azula here looks like a nine year old who's hyped up on too much sugar.

Even before it started I was already giggling at what was inevitably to come lmao Also, I don't know why I put myself through rewatching this in full length, but man is it a chore to sit through a second time. Literally like 95% of the dialogue is exposition, most of which isn't even freaking relevant... I do agree that it's easily a better adaptation of source material than something like DB Evolution, but it's almost like it tries to cram TOO MUCH source material into the movie and forgets to have a plot or character personalities instead. Evolution might be a far worse bastardization of the original material, but at least it's fun to laugh at. This movie is just so boring and droll and devoid of passion, that stupid slow pebble is the only good laugh in the entire thing.
