Im so excited cant wait for July Avatar is my 3rd fav anime next to Bleach and Inuyasha im goin to watch the live action movie in Imax 3D :mrgreen:.
 
Yeah it's not really an anime even though I call it one myself sometimes. >.>

also THURSDAY PEOPLE, ANYBODY EXCITED :woo:
 
Meh I call it an anime, anime is only a term used in Japan much like we use the word cartoon but doesnt really matter what country it is from it is up there with top animes from Japan. Avatar is win!
 
eeek!! One more day! Fiore, I hope he gets buff too!

Also, anime just means "animation" in Japanese. So, no matter what anyone says--A:TLA is an anime just not Japanese anime.
 
It's been a while since I've been back here . . . wow I have to say that with the additional trailers I've seen, I'm very impressed. The cast is starting to grow on me little by little, either way accuracies or not, I'm still very much compelled to see this film. They kept Sokka enthusiastic and that scene when the Fire Nation's ships steadily entered into the domain of Yue's kingdom . . . that was amazing. Very intense.

Also, for all intents and purposes, although stylistically the design of the characters is somewhat similar to anime, it's still considered a Western cartoon . . . at least in my opinion. But eh, to each their own.

I'm so excited! XD
 
IT'S OUT TOMORROW FOLKS.

I'm going with my anime gal pal and we're gonna rock it up in our empty little theater while everyone else is at Twilight.. :monster:
 
Just saw the movie with my family of 7 and here's the verdict.

I'll start out with the good.

The actors:
Jackson(Sokka), in my opinion was a great choice for him. He was funny in the movie and his attitude was very Sokka.

Nicola(Katara) was really really good. Her acting was perfect. She even sounded and looked like Katara.

Seychelle(Princess Yue) was surprisingly a great actress for this role. I really liked her.

Aasif(Admiral Zhao) was THE most PERFECT actor to play this role. He was the ultimate villian that any good movie needs.

Dev(Zuko) was epic as a Zuko. I don't think there could have been anyone more perfect to play our troubled ex-prince. His stunts and attitude made me feel like I was watching the cartoon Zuko.

Shaun Toub(Uncle Iroh) was, I think, one of the best actors in the film. He was so dead on to who Iroh really was in the show. I mean, how he acted made you completely miss the fact that he's not a cute chubby grandpa.

Noah Ringer(Aang) was a really really great action star in this film. He never ceased to look bad ass. He sounded like Aang a lot of the time.

The Plot:
It was a really great way to introduce the storyline to newcomers of the series. It wasn't confusing. It explained the parts needed and just went really well. The storyline itself is a rich, epic long run--which is hard to come by nowadays. It kept the important parts of the show and blended them to where they made as much sense as possible.

The best part of the story was the parts at the Northern Water Tribe-- it was so packed full. But the most outstanding and "WOW" part of the movie was at the ending after the A-team(nickname for Aang and co.) beat the fire nation at the water tribe. I won't say it but if you're a fan you'll definitely be wanting more!

The Music:
James Newton Howard did a fantastic job on this soundtrack. It was powerful and epic and held such a strong emotion to it all.

Sets & CGI:
I thought the sets were amazing! Absolutely stunning. They looked so lively and real. And about the CGI, my dad said we should watch it in 3D but I insisted on 2D... All I can say is, watch this movie in 3D. The CGI was beyond brilliant. It looked so real and there were tons of scenes where 3D glasses would have really made you say "wow!" as oncoming water, earth, fire, and air came at you.

Action & Fights
The action was epic. Just very fast, swift moments of tons of attacks from every element. It really got you pumped to see Aang kicking THAT much ass.

Director:
Night. did a great job on directing this movie. His views and ways of directing was a perfect fit for the storyline. His added scenes that he came up with were amazing.

And now for the bad:
Actors:
Jackson(Sokka) was a bit too serious at times. Although he still kept his funny bone intact, there wasn't THAT many jokes or sarcasm.

Nicola(Katara) she was a bit too emotional at times. It seemed like she was always crying.

Noah(Aang) he was a bit stiff in the beginning and he wasn't as happy as our lively hero was in the show. We didn't get to see him truely be Aang until about 35 minutes into the movie.

The Plot:
It was really rushed in the first half of the movie. It felt like they were jumping from city to city just to hurry it all up. We didn't get to see Aang, Sokka, or Katara become friends they just automatically liked eachother and were close. There were no cute moments like penguin sledding or shots of Aang staring at Katara with wide eyes of love. We just saw them meet and carry on with the story. Also, there wasn't enough dialog.

Action & Fights:
Frankly, there wasn't enough action scenes. Don't get me wrong, when there was it was amazing but there just wasn't enough. It was really one of the biggest downers of the movie.


The Verdict:
I highly suggest seeing this movie for a fun action movie. It was a very brilliant storyline, great characters and good actors. The sets and CGI were perfect and the action scenes were epic. But because of the rushness of the beginning, stiff actors at times, and few fight scenes I'm gonna have to rate this movie a 7.5/10

Rating: 7.5/10
 
SO you already seen the movie? Ive yet to see it, it takes a while longer here to come out in the cinema's..I see you enjoyed it fairly? :D

I cant wait to DL it, but that will take ages for a good copy so I might wanna go to the cinema for once, still got 2 free cinema tickets for any movie :D

I really wanna see the movie.
 
Yup and it was enjoyable. The action scenes were amazing. I say, go in there with an open mind and you'll end up supporting it. ;)
 
AYe I will :D, im anxious really, I dont care about the casting , just a bit dissapointed, but that doesnt change the fact I wanna see it ! unlike DBZ revolution, half hour was more then enough with that one lolz
 
Yeah, a lot of my friends on facebook said that the movie was a big downer, but Bubblegum's (comprehensive) analysis makes it appear to still be a movie worth watching. I'll probably wait for the DVD version, even though I was really into the cartoon series. My dad used to buy it on DVD for my nephew and I randomly got into it. :P

Yea, surprisingly the movie doesn't feel short despite it's time length.

Thank you! I want to inform everyone honestly. I think you should see it in theaters, it is fun to watch--different kinda but still fun. Also, so there's a chance of a second one.
 
It was awesome! :ohshit: I loved the fight scenes and stuff, I hated seeing the Twilighters go to the theatre across from us to watch that instead though I felt like saying "You will watch The Last Airbender, You will watch The Last Airbender, You will watch The Last Airbender" Hypnotism style :wacky:

Tha Acting: I think Noah needs some brushing up on learning Aangs characters a bit but he didn't ruin it at least, but shit man I am a Zuko fan now :perv:

Dev did amazing! I loved his growl/scream, and his stances were uber smexy.

Katara did amazing too!

The Story: Was still great! I loved the Water Tribe part, with princess Yue and all that action :ohshit:
 
I agree Fiore!

Also, Kain I hope you enjoy it...
 
ERRRRRRRRGH

It hasn't started here. Stupid Karate Kid is finishing in Theaters, so Airbender isn't getting into my cinema until Saturday for a Matinee. ;.; I went to the gym today, got kicked out half way cause it was closing early, didn't have time for a shower, went to the theater to find out the time it was starting... it doesn't start until saturday :rage: had to go to McD's to use the phone and call my girlfriend about it not playing today.

Uber disappoint all around.
