  • woah... the mood of it is so... serious... while the cartoons somehow made it all... happy??

  • i liked this

  • i think i liked the cartoon better

  • OMG I cant believe Jackson Rathbone Plays Sokka!

  • where the hell is Zuko's scar?

  • I Love Avatar The Last Airbender it so Wicked

  • At 1:06, I want to know what zuko's looking at

  • @channer1994 Probably Aang as he's flying away

  • Hey don't spam this but if you guys want to see a clip of Appa and Zuko vs. Aang type in the last airbender update 21 and watch that vid. It has a trailer in it with a cool scene where they fly on Appa and theres a second where you can see a duel between Zuko and Aang.

  • how come the cute little blind girl is in this movie

  • @postergal She ISN"T in this movie.

  • @postergal

    she isn't in this movie because this is book 1 of the last airbender. the blind girl never came until book 2.

  • Stop your nonsense yapping!! The movie can't always the same as the cartoons! Accept that.. Find me an actor whos eyes as big as the cartoon aang.. and a human being whos smile reaches over their ears and who's face is stretchable. I think this is gonna be great! If you don't want it, don't watch it.. and I don't think you won't. Complain all you want, nothing's gonna happen.

  • you're right! I't can't be the same as the cartoon so stfu this movie will gonna be great! if i't gonna be better as James camerons avatar idk but we'll see ;)

  • @winxknight

    I agree the movie looks like it's going to be amazing. And from what I can see it looks like Shyamalan is taking great care in paying attention to story detail. My only concern is Shyamalan's movies are so hit and miss.

    If the movie is as good as the trailer makes it out to be I'm positive I (and other avid Avatar: The Last Airbender fans) will be VERY pleased with this live action rendition.

  • Zuko has to be white skinned.

    Katara dark.

    Sokka dark and Aang white.

    Whats up with their clothes?

    Evrything is wrong!

  • @EDinsh123

    their clothes?

    their clothes are nearly identical to the anime.

  • Ouch. Whitewashed.

  • The only things bothering me is Zuko's VERY pale scar, Aang's strange-looking "arrow-tattoes";) and of course a little bit, but only a little, Aang's clothes cause' i just realized how special and unique his clothes in the animted series was for "monks" it looks very "Airy". This looks heavy and dirty. Not to sound stupid!

  • Can't wait! it's gonna be awesome!

  • Whats with katara's hair!? its NOTHING like what it is in the show!! and their coats are blue!! And whears aangs orange thingy over his shirt!? The costumes are all wrong. I'm still gonna go see it though!! i am the BIGGEST avatar fan EVER! <3<3<3

  • @mikkyluv1 The hair is not wrong its very likely. Havn't you notcied that sometimes she has loose long hair and sometimes not???

    And you're more than a creepy fanboy than a big fan. Not to be rude ;)

    You knew that the creators of this film and the two other future ones is the original Avatar writers and creators too right? Lol

  • @mikkyluv1 And see? She got her line things in the forehead too ;)

  • @mikkyluv1 You know what? I just saw some of the episodes again and saw Katara with the completly same hair as in this trailer so i changing my message to SHUT UP! And stop spamming like this!

  • NO OFFENSE, not to sound racist, but does there have to a white person to play every foreign characters.

    Goku

    Prince of Persia

    Spartans in 300

    Perseus

    Aang

    and it goes on and on. For example, if they would a greek person play as a greek in a greek movie I think it would make it more Genuine. The next movie that is going to be remade is Shaka Zulu, and he is going to be played by Daniel Craig.

  • HAHAHAHA XD True true.

  • @dirty706 Not in every you silly!

    Zuko is dark skinned. They used Dev Patel from Slumdog... But i totally mean that they needs a BETTER scar for him man! You can't even see it! Or not barely!

  • Yes, they have to ALL be white, you know why? The Producers say so

  • wouldnt it be lovely to see a casting that looked EXACTLY like the characters And act the part to perfection it would be a perfect world than, but since this is the real world were its hard to find people with real acting skills i will give this movie a chance. as long as it captures the heart and essence of the cartoon than im down..what would piss me off if they did a 180 on the storyline than someone would feel my wrath and who gives a damn about it being more seriouse sheesh!!

  • Where the hell is APA?!!?

    I love him :)))

  • finally i found the full film at

    watchlastmovies*com

  • Oh Jasper-kun~ what do you think youre doing in this movie? :D

  • @Shuichithebroken maybe because he LOOKS like Sokka? just maybe?

  • i didnt c apa in that ball of ice......:(

  • @ sebastonix

    she is Princess Yue

  • who is that blonde chic at 1.21?

  • i think she is the Princess of the Water Village. Something about the moon, i don't remember..

  • princess yue. she turns into moon spirit. get it right. lol :)

  • mmh, the airbending looks like crap^^

    but all the other elements were done quite well id say.

  • no!!!

    the is bullshit yall ever heared of black harry potter?

    didnt think so......

  • looks a bit.... gey? actors imo look like shizz

  • what fags

  • wow...people are more concerned with the comedy and the looks instead of the story and acting. it's gonna look so bad when it's gonna be comedy then Yue died at the end. The mood should be consistent for a 2-hour movie.

  • @InkBender

    To me, a great movie includes all emotions. They are not saying it should be a "comedy" movie--but there SHOULD be humor, just like the cartoon....which was amazing.

  • JAMAL DONT PLAY WITH FIRE!

  • I agree with dyingxdove. It's stupid to say the movie will fail before it's even released. Yeah, casting could be different but I am pleased they didn't got with somefake teenage superstar-actors, they actually resemble their originals. Changes are good, I have seen nothing that would put me off and I'm a fan of the series. As far as angst goes, can you guys honestly say that ending of first season (where Yue sacrificed herself for her tribe) was a comedy?

  • @MoyaChan Thank you. Thank you so much.

    In the cartoon, there were no races. You were only judged on your element, not your colour. People are taking this too far. Thanks for saying it like it is. People shouldn't judge the movie until after they've watched it. Peace, man. :)

  • I'm TIRED of reading negative comments about this movie when no one has seen anything yet.

    This movie is a different take on the story of Avatar, so what?

    They changed things, and it's inevitable to change it.

    I'm not crazy about the casting, but I'm giving it a chance. I actually REALLY like the Katara, she sounded great in the trailer.

    It's not going to be how we all imagined, it's not going to be exactly like the cartoon, it's not going to be all comedy. Let's give it a chance, shall we?

  • I really dont want to see this. I LOVE the series, but, this movie just doesn't do it justice. They could have followed the story more in terms of how everyone looks (notice Katara's hair loop missing? Irohs belly?) I feel as if they could have picked a better cast and took more time on the tinier details. And, what's up with Aang's arrow?

    All in all, they changed too much.

  • And which one is supposed to be Zuko?

  • Why the f*ck does Aang have a cross on his back?!

  • @apep25

    it's his Avatar arrow. It goes all the way down to his back from his head and arms.

  • where's the comedy? Why isn't the Avatar being all happy go lucky at all. This is a kids movie, i've seen the series, the Avatar should be a little sillier and enjoying surfing on penguins. I hope they don't just make it all angsty (which seems to be the "in thing" nowadays). Think of the kids!!! LOL

  • what kids? we were the kids when this show came out like 4 years ago, he isn't just making this movie for just little children people!

  • @blublub17 and now new kids are going to watch it. All i'm saying is where's the light hearted humour i enjoyed so much. It's was Ang's best character trait, that he would be light hearted in the face of near impossible odds so that the other characters wouldn't worry so much. It's just a running trend with family friendly movies that they're becoming emo and dark. And the light ones go too far, where's the happy medium?... Percy Jackson was actualy

  • @T0pcatFilms The thing is, you can't fit all that humor from about 20 (22 minute) episodes into a 3-4 hour movie. So it was sacrificed.

  • @SynneDennis i'm not saying put in every funny moment from the series. I'm sayin the character of Aang is a fairly happy go lucky guy and i'm not seeing any of those character traits in these trailers so far. Hopefully they're just not showing it in the trailers to make him look more badass but movies have managed to be dark and funny (eg. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom) most of them are adventure movies like The Last Airbender so hopefully it'll have the signature funnyness somewhere :)

  • indian people, and white people.. in a oriental based story. wtf is this shit.

  • i see white people :)

  • lol just lol

  • wasnt there a flying cow?

  • @humanoidrob

    bison.

    flying bison.

    and yes it's in the movie.

  • ... Why is Iroh a skinny indian man with a serious face? Way to destroy his character

  • That's Zuko.

  • Sorry, not Zuko, but one of the people that works for him. I forgot his name.

  • because everyone loves the bollywood bummovie :P

  • daniel i agree

  • they are way too young

  • @GtarjohnStudios what are you talking about? they are the exact age the characters in the show. at least there trying to be accurate. emphasis on trying.

  • This movie is going to be so AWESOME!

  • wow, looks liek it actually won't be a bucket of crap. in fact, it acutally looks great! NOW IM ALL ANXIOUS AND STUFF! :D

  • cartoon: GREAT

    Movie: EPIC FAIL

  • I AGREE!

  • omg check out that freaking water bending dude!!!!

  • man/women did u c it it's too so freakin cool

    wanna be friends ...

  • haha sure!!! im so stoked for this movies, FOR THE WATERTRIBE!!!!! hehe

  • this movie will be great. I'll see

  • looks cool :)

  • cool but katara is so white and ugly ...

  • you racist bastard

  • i knoee!!! dammm shes supposed to look like an eskimo...

  • so are they making 3 movies like the 3 books?

  • @chilleffect well yea they are according to the creators of avatar they first were thinking of making it a long 6 hour movie having all 3 books, but then they thought it would be better to make 3 different movies

  • 6 hours?

  • This one looks waaaaay better than the teaser... I'm actually pretty excited x-)

  • does this mean they're be more???

  • Races are different (Avatar was known as a somewhat multi-racial amerime).

    Looks epic nonetheless.

  • what a crappy low rez version of an awesome movie. Way to downsell yourself.

  • good to know....

  • jai ho

  • looks good.. hope they dont eff it up

  • Dante Basco should have been Zuku.

  • yeah... wtf is that all about zuko is mean to be asian not pakistani...

  • lol, well, believe or not pakistan and india is technically part of Asia, and share a lot of the same culture as their more eastern neighbors. I'm just saying Dante "Rufio" Basco fits the Zuko character more than Dev not because he's east asian but because he portrayed the character for all this time he knows Zuko more than anyone else he is Zuko, and he's also has some skill at fight scenes and youthful looking if I produced the film it would be a natural transition.

  • i toatally agree, he would have fit the role a lot better. hes a good actor, they proabably just didn't want a voice actor from the show coming onto the movie...

  • ok i thinkg this might be cool. the actors they almost look like the cartoon. the more i watch this trailer i think the slumdog kit is fitting for the part. i just hope M. night dosen't fuck it up like all his other movies i'ver watch. oh and i hope the kid play Saka makes a joke or too in the movie.

  • @jenene84 and they better not fook over appa!!

  • @jenene84 Go find the Super Bowl spot!! Appa shows up in great clarity at around 10 seconds and he looks great! And the guy who voices Appa and Momo in the show is voicing him in this!

  • hmmmmmmmm... execpt for the slumdog kid it looks pretty good

  • the kid's too young.

    and also, why are you guys having a full-fled racial discussion in a youtube video's comment section?

  • I've question for those who support this cast and film. When the time comes for the heroes to infiltrate the Fire Nation, how will they be able to pass as one of the citizens, I mean seeing as how the Fire Nation has become a "brown-skinned" nation? Wouldn't a few pale-skinned "wht" kids standout?

  • they could've tanned them up and they should've, because living in an ice cap with the sun reflecting of the ice everywhere would make you dark. my problem is with a dark firenation.. azula wont be able to be as supposedly beautiful as she is evil, and a black mai, ty lee.. they aren't even black.. indians think they're black but they're not. they are technically asian but LOOK (which matters) between arab and asian and black.. i'm of south african descent btw...

  • "Azula...beatuiful as she is evil" Surely you don't mean because she's going to be "dark" she won't be beautiful, right?

    "Indians think they're "blk" You do realize there are "blk" Indians, right? The Dalit are a caste group that suffer the same injustice as African-Americans from their own ppl. In 1972 they started their own Civil Rights Movement called The Dalit Panthers. They are Asian, don't get me wrong, but they're also "blk" ppl.

  • people of royalty wer usually light-skinned esp 4 asians. sum of them paint their skin pure white, instead of caucasian coloured. whens the last time we've seen a highly revered dark-skinned person? not saying its impossible but thats wat people expect, even more so due 2 movies that follow this

    by staying away from asian-looking fire nation characters, what culture will they follow? because it now cant be as asian as in the cartoon since the look of the characters says most about their culture

  • horrible casting. why are the main character, sokka and katara white? seriously? i dont really care about the people with smaller parts. but c'mon, how hard is it to cast 2 brown-colored asians for that?

    white people aren't the only ones that can act.

  • LOL it's true

  • Comment removed

  • the movie doesnt look bad, the story most likely will be like those chinesse movies thats all fighting and stuff but a lil romance.

  • Yeah, just like those Chinese films...well minus the actual Chinese actors that is, or any other East Asian/ Native American actors.

  • @Shng275, The series never specifies what ethnicity the characters are. They have certain traits that are usually associated with certain ethnicities but they don't specifically say what race they are. And honestly how many actors in hollywood are of the darker skin variety that are popular? Not many. Ever think it was giving a chance of another race to shine? There are more Asian races in hollywood than "brown-skinned." Stop being such a japanophile.

  • Certain traits? Please explain because surely you're not referring to skin color, hair color, or eye shape/color.

    "Popular dark-skin actors" First off, be more specific. "Dark-skin" can refer to "Blk", Hispanic, Amerindian, MiddleEastern.

    "Giving another "race" a chance to shine" Again, who are you referring to? Asian actors, "wht" actors, or actors of Middle Eastern descent?

    "Stop being a japanophile" Out of all my posts, where does it imply that I'm being a, as you've put it, japanophile?

  • Forgot to mention.

    "Never specifies ethnicity" Maybe the creators thought the American ppl were smart enough to realize the characters were East Asian, what with the character names, cultures, surroundings, architect, traditions, and martial arts.

  • Before any talks of the movie, I saw the interviews of the creators. They never specified the race of their characters.

    But they were very clear that the big influences of Avatar are Asian, Inuits, and Hinduism.

    The title "Avatar" should already tell you that the philosophy is based on Hinduism.

    "Avatara:" A deity coming back to earth in the form of an animal or human.

    It was obvious that the hero was going to be white. Its still a hollywood produced film. Thats just how its going to be

  • "obvious hero was going to be "wht" I'm sorry but in what way was it obvious the hero was going to be "wht"!? You'd think that a Minority would've wanted to give other fellow Minorities a chance to be seen as a hero, instead of lily-wht unknowns.

    "influences are Asian,..." That being said, you still feel there's nothing wrong with the casting?

    "that's how its going to be" You're right. So don't you think it's time for a change!? H-Wood will keep doing this crap until someone speaks up.

  • I'm sorry but M. Night Shyamalan had a chance to show that Asian-Americans can be the hero and save the day, but instead he chose to go the "Middle-Eastern terrorist" route.

    I'm not blaming everything on M. Night. After all, it's the "head honchos" of H-Wood that make the decisions.

  • And here's the other thing, why don't asian americans get organized and produce quality films in the United states?

    Spike Lee does it; he goes out, gets the money and cast his black actors in pretty good roles. I would figure that asian americans can do the same if they wanted to.

    Don't expect white people to give it to you. They never give it to anybody. Its like the scene with Jack Nicholson in The Departed. "They wont hand it to you....you have to take it!!"

  • There is a simple approach to everything; if you disagree with the movie, guess what, don't watch it.

    Shaymalan doesn't need to apologize to anybody. If he did something wrong and upset you, the best way to hurt him is to not watch his movie.

    In that way you will be letting hollywood know that you do not agree with him or the casting of caucasians in asian roles.

    Convincing people on youtube is kind of a waste.

    People will like what they want.

    You're kind of a trol.

  • the casting sucks. it's barely true to the series. It's probably going to be a huge disappointment but i still have some false hope that it might be an ok movie.

    IMO: A:TLA Books 1 and 2 were absolutely fanominal. Book 3 was the BIGGEST disappointment (in entertainment) that i've ever had.

  • book 3 wasnt that bad compared 2 other 2, it just felt rushed. it was too ordered and had a 'lets wrap it up' feeling. i actually admired that zukos mom wasn't found, n whatnot between toph n her parents

    book 3 is my favourite - although its storytelling structure is linear in the 1st half, it fills in and makes more story loopholes. 2nd half is chaotic, unpredictable, but all ends balanced in the gang winning/losing

    i guess book 1 had to be unlike this because of its introductory nature

  • Comment removed

  • i mean book 2 is my favourite** :), also because it had its fair share of motifs, foreshadowing, twists, mystery, suspense, and those 'if that little thing didnt happen, things wouldntve turned out the way they did' moments.., as well as action and non action eps. my favourite battle (zuko vs jet) is in this book, and the scene which captured my emotions (anger) most was at the end of ep 11.. sorry for kind of reviewing the show on ur comment

  • The casting grosses me out!

  • looks cool..

  • i dont get why people make such a huge deal with the color on someone's skin. damn its just a movie, and i know its going to be a good one too. why dont we all just calm down and enjoy this wonderfully made trailer :D

  • Yes, in one sense it is just a movie, but at the same time they're perpetuating the idea that the "brown-skinned" man terrorizes the serene/civil life-style of the "wht" man. Ask yourself. If you know ANYTHING about the series, you'd know that the grand majority of the Fire Nation are pale/light skinned, right? Then why make them brown-skinned and of Middle Eastern descent?

    Also, this film is portraying the old notion that the hero has to be "wht" while the villian must be "drk"-skinned.

  • You do know that this movie is written and directed by an M night Shaymalan, right? In case you haven't seen him, he is one dark indian. I think M. night is pretty clever. He's just been dropping the ball lately. I dont think that he would go out to antagonize his own people. These are not arabs, they are Hindus. To most they wont see the difference. And Shaymalan needs a hit; his career depends on it. His last movies have not performed well. I believe he will try his best in this movie.

  • "antagonize his own ppl" No, I don't think he would, but for that all mighty dollar who knows.

  • looks way to serious the cartoon had lots of action and humor, and with M. night you know there going to be some gay ass twist. You know what would be a awesome twist M. night? if u made a good movie

  • LMFAO

  • haha

  • this lokos fail tbh

  • EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hell yeah

  • WHERE IS OPPA!!!!

  • He was too busy making Where the Wild Things Are

  • this movie looks epic!

  • WHAT A TWIST!!

  • @RaySchoot

    Agreed Shaun Toub as Yinsen in Iron man reminded me of Iroh, the calmness and voice are similair, who cares if he isnt fat, theyve changed the movie to be based on the series not a exact copy.

  • i notice there are no ASIAN on the movie? :(  and no blacks and no mexican...

    i guess those races were wiped out in Avitar movie world ,,,

  • there are asians... zuko is played by an west asian, aang is played by an east asian, and a few others.

  • WRONG!!!

    Zuko is being played by an actor of SOUTH Asian descent. The kid playing Aang is NOT of East Asian descent. He's a "wht" kid they found in Texas. EVERYONE in this film has been miscast. Sokka & Katara are BROWN-SKINNED Inuits not "pale-skinned" wht kids.

  • It would have been better if they got the kids colours right.

  • aang is a skinny white kid in the show and katara and sokka just got a tan. the only character that doesnt mach the show is zuko cause he was pale and the got an indian guy as him.

  • why fuss? in film anyone can play anyone. Picard is french while his actor is british.

  • Really!? Then you would've been completely fine with say British actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, whom is of Nigerian descent, playing Aragorn in the LOTR trilogy, or actor James Hong playing Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films. I've a better one for you, if they announced a new Superman film with two-time Academy Award Nominated actor Djimon Hounsou as Clark Kent, would you accept him as Superman, or a "blk" Superman!? No, my man. In film it does matter greatly.

  • What makes you think he's "wht"!? There are NO "wht" characters featured in this series. Only characters of East Asian and Inuit descent, oh and 1 character of South Asian descent (Guru). Katara & Sokka are NOT tanned. For one, the climate they live in prevents it: cloudy skies, freezing temperatures. They are brown-skinned like their real life Inuit counterparts. Again, there are NO "wht" characters featured in this series.

  • This movie's better than Twilight.

  • it's not even out yet.

  • Does that matter?

  • the only thing i don like is that uncle iroh is nowhere near like the cartoon

  • Jackson Rathbone = Sokka! xD

  • this lookes to be a very good movie!

  • The graphics look great. But the actors just killed it.

  • Too freaking serious... the cartoon series was great because it was humorous.

  • i was going to say that exact thing

  • i hate the fact that the characters in the cartoon are asian, but the ones here are white -.-

  • this is only the first part. This is book one of three books. there will be three movies.

  • I liked the series enough to want to see this. I'm actually excited :D

  • M. Night Shama-lama-ding-dong better have not forgotten about Appa and Momo!!!

  • He didn't in the super bowl spot you see appa in the background.

  • Oh yeah I did see him. Top left a bit towards the beginning!! =)

  • THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!

  • weres the the big ass animal thing ???

  • this movie is probably going to have too many plots squeezed into a 2 hr film.

  • looks good....i know he's meant to be young, but that kid's still got baby fat :L

  • my hair is standing up

  • Love te cartoon, this trailer makes it look way better
