Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Wow, this movie is literal garbage. I hadn't seen it since I was around 12 years old. So a good solid 10 years went by. I recently rewatched the whole series again for the third time and couldn't resist in watching this. Somehow, I had some hope that I could see this differently. No. No. No. There are so many things fundamentally wrong with this adaptation that is embarrassing. It is obvious that NO ONE that was responsible for this film was an Avatar fan because I didn't see ONE THING that reminded me of the animated show. Reasons why this movie sucks: 1. PRONUNCIATION. Ahng?! Awvatar?! So-ka?! Eroh?! HONESTLY WTF??! I don't give a flying f* that the director insists they say it in the traditional manner. Say it how the freaking show did! 2. Where was Sokka's humor and incredible intelligence when it comes to planning and tactics?! 3. Who is even Aang in this movie? There was not one single expression of his character. No compassion, peace, playfulness, humor etc. 4. Katara? No no. That girl was not even remotely CLOSE to the strong, independent, caring, and loving person from the show. 5. There was not a wise or humorous bone in Uncle Iroh's body. 6. Can we all just agree EVERY CHARACTER IN THIS MOVIE DOESN'T EVEN DESERVE TO BE CALLED A CHARACTER?! They might as well be sticks in the mud for all I care. Every character in the animated series was disrespected by this adaptation. 7. WHITE PEOPLE? Um, sorry not sorry but every character in the animated show is from some form of Asian decent. You couldn't even get that right? 8. The entire movie was disjointed and so many crucial moments were cut out. You cannot fit an avatar season into one movie. I don't care how much you try to convince me. There is far too much content. 9. Where is the flipping BENDING? Everyone is throwing punches and jabs instead of bending. What bender thinks "I'm a fire bender but I'm not going to use it. Instead, I'm just going to punch people." ALSO, can we just acknowledge that it took about 10 moves to perform one bending move?! I could easily run up and hit a bender right on the head while they perform one. single. move. 10. When was it a thing that fire benders have to have some source of fire in order to bend? NO. For the love of Iroh, NO. 11. Was Team Avatar even a thing? I think not. How many words did Katara, Aang, and Sokka say to each other? Little to none. They might as well be strangers. I could probably go on for basically eternity but this movie doesn't deserve anymore of my time. This series is one of the greatest of all time. This movie could have been one of the greatest movies of all time. The content and creativity is all in the animated series yet they royally destroyed every sacred piece of it. I hope some day that this story has another chance. I hope one day that someone who is a true fan will do this series justice by making another movie or even a well-developed TV show. For now, DON'T BOTHER WITH THIS TRASH. Rewatch the series, watch Korra, or read the comics. This is a waste of your time.
