This has to be one of the most terrible movies I have ever seen. This is a complete insult to the tv series. The acting and everything was pure hot garbage.

Terrible dialogue. Atrocious choreography. So So SO difficult to watch from start to finish. The anime the movie is based on is my favorite cartoon to date, and I had extremely high hopes for a live-action Avatar movie. M. Night Shamalan should be ashamed of what he did to this incredible story. My guess is he took on too much and didn't listen to any constructive criticism along the way, and this poo is the result. Just awful. I'd have laughed through the whole thing Mystery Science Theater style if it didn't make me so sad. Terrible. *cringe*

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.

Watch the tv series, it is great… they destroyed the movie… so, so, bad.

Tv show way #%#@$% better! Don't understand how a good anime could become a terrible flop. No, I do
Directed by Shamalan, also known for signs and the happening balh!
Terrible child actors, some good moments but for the most part just blah!
Too short didn't have time to develop any story unlike tv series. (Not like anyone's complaining to see it hurry up and end.)
In the show they had quick motions to produce large-scale bending; here they dance around and do "air-karate" to make a simple flame or rock float, little action moments just poor and simple dialogue (with so much narration as if its a documentary)

Don't waste money on the film, even if you're interested in seeing how bad it is. That was what I did and it was a waste of my time.
Instead I would recommend checking out the anime series if you haven't already it's so much better.

Literally worst movie I've ever seen. And I've seen The Human Centipede.

Horrible movie. Terrible direction. Names not spoken correctly. What a let down. I wanted to like this movie so much. I was an avid fan of the animated show and knew that if this were ever turned into a live action film that it had the potential to be amazing. The story line was off the characters were one dimensional, the actors themselves were a little 'white-washed'. Just most aspects about this movie were not right. I do not recommend this to any avid The Last Airbender fan as it was a complete and total let-down and will most likely leave your furious at the incompetence that went into making this film.

Love the cartoons! They were funny and well written with great character development. This movie was terrible! No character development. No plot building. Bad acting. My 4 and 6 year old really enjoy the cartoons but actually ask if I would turn this off. I was relieved.
