Ok.
I dont go to see movies often. But when something catches my eye I try to go.
I was reaaaallly geeked for this move. I dont even know why. SO I go to see it hoping to get a nice experience of some live action movie. first thing I notice...Its kind of a short move for
AN ENTIRE SEASON OF THE SHOW. But I was all eh. could still be good.
No.
Just..
Slow down
The first half hour or so of the movie was 80-90% of the show's first season. with most of the characters not mentioned or even talked about in passing. admittedly, they concentrated on 2 parts.
The part where The Blue Spirit saves Aang.(now pronounced ahng)
and the part about the Northern Water Tribe. (Severely edited for time's sake I guess)
OK. those parts' action scenes were phenomenal.
but horribly paced...like the entire movie.
ok now that I've gotten the pacing issues out of the way.
Lets talk about the 6 characters that mater-ish.
Aang- Not funny or childish anymore. rushed backstory kills his persona.
Katara- bout the same as the cartoon with less expression.
Sokka-.......Just...might as well not even been there. not funny at all.
Zuko- bout the same, but next to no character development in the movie.
Iroh- At first I was "Dont know if want" and warmed up to "Kind of want"
Ozai- About as intimidating as a peice of lukewarm toast....no beard.
actually,
no one has a real beard except the northern tribe master and his is shortish.
dont ask about Momo and Appa.
there's more...but im lazy. I just felt the entire movie, aside from two parts, was rushed.
also no boomi,jet,jet's gang,ba sing se, earth benders on a boat, sokka and katara calling their grandma "gran gran", epic Ozai, fire temple, kyoshi warriors, BOOMI..uh you get the point I guess. bending takes a day and a half to preform anything. firebenders cant just "Firebend". Aang sucks at waterbending for no reason, then goes and makes a water wave. also no giant fish-mech.
after the movie I was all "EH".

I said it was going to be bad.
btw, the saw the revealed thing on nick, apperently, they did half of the stuff you mentioned that was missing, but didn't put it in the movie, since he (Mr.M) felt it would have been too long.
Not really, but you are telling me that I was expecting something awesome, but rather than making this movie like with sequels decided that it'd only be one movie instead? And where is Toph? She's my favorite char. This movie would be awesome, would be...!
Makes me super sad face.
Simply putting a freaking wig/beard on someone is a whole different matter.
