Those of you familiar w/ the adventures of Aang, Sokka, Kitarra, Zuko, & Uncle will no doubt leave the theatre wanting. First, as is par for Hollywood and has already been addressed by media outlets, the only awkwardly Caucasian folk in this far Eastern film were the three main characters. Despite this previous knowledge I decided to give it a go knowing from previous M. Night Shyamalan disappointments this too might be a sore sight for eyes. Well, in that regard, no surprise there!
Action scenes of bending activites were painfully lacking with plodding pyros, listless liquids, whimpy winds, and flimsy firma; quite contrary to the exciting previews which I had hoped would be the salvitic attribute of the film.
The storyline, while holding fairly true the to animated version, moved along quite lackadaisically, not to mention that neither Aang nor Sokka possessed one humorous bone between the two of 'em -an important trait for the both them and what would have been a very redeeming quality for the film.
Thankfully I attended the matinee and opted out of the 3D -blame that one on Clash of the Titans!
If you're a fan of the toon and highly curious like me, go for it. If not wait till it comes to a dollar show near you or get about four or five of your not-so-closest aquaintances to pitch in and see your local bootlegger.
