I went to see Avatar today with my sister. It really was as bad as they said, worse even. Not because they took liberties with the story, but because everything was done badly xD
Let me paint a picture for you.
Imagine earth benders that are so pathetic they are being contained within a STONE QUARRY and don't even attempt to escape. They aren't even in a metal prison.
Imagine firenation troops who can't bend fire without there being a firesource nearby. That aren't actually ominous in any way and who are either spanish or indian people eating with Japanese place settings and living in tibetan style palaces. Seriously they weren't even kind of naughty.
Imagine Aang running away, not because they were going to take him away from his master, but because they told him he couldn't have a family (the director has effectively ended the avatar cycle by doing this).
Imagine the Southern Water Tribe having random inuit children scattered around, like you wouldn't notice Sokka and Katara were white if you did this.
Imagine Zuko being ugly and having a scar that isn't actually noticeable except when his face is directed toward
Now mix this with badly pronounced names, awful dialogue, over-acting, unnecessary over-explanation (If Katara wasn't looking sad she was stating she was the last southern waterbender), more dancing then bending and bending that doesn't match the movements when its there (Imagine four earthbenders doing a fully-syncronised movement and a single, head-sized rock floating by), and you get a movie that is more like a rushed, comedic rip-off from the internet then a movie with a pretty decent budget.
At the end of the film this happened:
Someone: *starts to clap*
Someone else: *starts also*
Whole rest of the theatre: No.
Same someone: WOO!
Threatre. No.
Now thankfully I was able to laugh at it, but my sister is so angry xDD There was no humour, pathetic bending and aang didn't even wash away all the firenation ships in the end.
Dude xD
