Alright Later man..Nice seein you

"So has anyone seen the trailer? What do you think?I think it has promise and looks like it may not be bad, but really there is too much, especially along the lines of character developement. (Specifically with complex characters like Zuko and Toph) to fit into one movie.BTW it's good to be back anyone who cares :)"

Avatar the cartoon is bad by itself. Now they're making a movie adaptation? The worst part is it's made by M. Night Shyamalan. As if Lady In The Water and The Village weren't horrible enough. He's going to take a story that already sucks and somehow find a way to make it completely worse while screwing with the audience's heads. 

"In a minute? lol...I gave up comicvine for a while because I was pretty much addicted :) lol had to do other things in my life.TKSUN - I know I have faith too....just worried ther eis too much to fit in one movie."

"I dont think Toph will be in this movie "

Nope.  It's only based on Book 1, so Toph wont appear till the second movie.

That's purely your own personal opinion.  If you don't like Avatar, then don't read threads about it, much less post something that will rile people up.  Don't troll."

In my honest opinion, the Last Airbender is going to be horrible.

"Yeah, I on the other hand love the show, the last battle with Aang and the Fire Lord was one of the coolest thing I've ever seen in a cartoon, and for some reason it made me feel like I was watching Dragon Ball Z"

Yes, I really love the show too.  It is beautifully animated (which is rare for an American cartoon show), with care & attention on the characters.  But it's also aspects that mix it with real world, like the martial arts and elements of a chosen religious leader from such a young age (similar to how the Dalai Lama is recognised from childhood).  What's more, I love the sense of humour (especially Sokka & Toph).And unlike most other members, I really am looking forward to the film.  I'm angry about the prejudice against Indian actors.  That's the same racist attitude that Michael Clarke Duncan had to face when he was announced as the Kingpin.  M Night is a director who places the emphasis on characterisation and he's working closely with DiMartino & Konietzko to condense the whole of the first series into on film.  if people can accept the Hellboy films, then they should be able to accept the Avatar: The Last Airbender films."

Because of the teaser and because as soon as I saw a picture of how Aang would look, I burst into laughter for about 10 minutes. As of now, I think it's going to be terrible. I don't even plan on watching it, UNLESS someone or something, like a trailer, could convince me that it's worth at least giving a shot."

Saw the trailer, looks decent

Snore.  I'm waiting for the haters to say something new.  In fact, I don't know why the haters continue to look at threads about it, since all they do is ruin the fun for everyone else. "

 Hi there!
I'm a bit of a noob to the Avatar story, having not once seen an actual episode... although my sister educated me briefly. Tonight I come aboard this thread filled with (perhaps) the same sentiments the critics hold for it...... to tell you that I thought it was both excellent and impressive.
 
The other morning I read RottenTomatoes' miserable score of 6% approval, and couldn't help but wonder if critics were biased against M. Night Shyamalan, expecting to find something of a failure that they could easily take apart with a couple of well-placed words, and because it wasn't so very weak at the seams, they had to resort to some rather ridiculous nit-picking. It is my opinion that "fans" of the series have started to jump on the bandwagon, and that is unfortunate.  Again I do so emphasize that I haven't watched the cartoon, so I do acknowledge that I have the benefit of not carrying much at all in the expectation department. I also want to point out that while I'm not a big fan of Shyamalan, I did so very much enjoy Unbreakable, thought the Village was pretty neat, and the Sixth Sense to be quite intriguing.
 
I do agree with most critics, that the majority of the actors were pretty terrible - Aang, Katara, and Sokka chief among these culprits, but I happened to think that Dev Patel's Zuko was the best. What I really appreciated was how each and every character who has a name is NOT treated like a throw-away - they all have a rich background that is not so much advertised, but invested on screen. 
 
At any rate, rambling aside, I'd like to know from you "fans", what it is you seem to hate about the movie..... if you've seen it, that is.
