  • Failure.

  • I'm not over-exaggerating, this movie really was physically painful for me to watch, it hurt my chest.

  • @Sadslab you're a pussy then, I liked the show and I could sit through this no problem

  • It's funny... The only good scenes in the movie were the ones that were released early.

  • THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST MOVIES I HAVE EVER SEEN!

  • Uhhh !!!!

  • if you hate this movie i have 3 words for you, your a failure.

  • @XtranormalGuy wtf is good about it?

  • @XtranormalGuy no, this movie did suck, it was horrible.

  • I was so looking forward to seeing the Water Spirit rise up...it never did.

  • This vid would've been taken down for copyright claims, but they don't really care when the movie is this bad.

  • HUUUUUUGH!!!

  • That was actually pretty awesome, except for Aang's warrior screams.

  • When will people learn that ramping sucks?

    Seriously, it's just stupid.

  • The score was one of the (very) few good things in this movie.

  • hopefully this is the LAST airbender

  • @WEBKINZ434343 Budget 150 million, World Wide Box office(not including rentals or buying) 320...I'm pratically waiting for Paramount to say "Go"

  • last time i checked his name is AANG not fucking ONG!

  • ....WTF.

  • Why all the horrible unrealistic wires? The kid's supposedly a black belt FFS.

  • @merdufer He's using airbending to lift himself up to impossible heights. How else do you suggest they depict that?

  • I luv Aang, he's cute!!

  • this is 300 with bending

    i think i should watch it, wait i shouldnt aang is ugly in this

  • So this determines that the movie is terrible. Kthnxbaii.

  • everyone who hates the movie: Make it better!

    In my opinion, the movie was great, especially this scene :)

  • @Yegitu000

    give me $150 mil and I´ll give it a shot, while keeping several mil $ for myself. Can´t garantee a better movie though, but I promise it wouldn´t be much worse either

  • what is he doing???Ballet?

  • what song is this on the soundtrack?

  • Is there no big fishy scene? If there isn't I will not waste my time with the DVD.  That was the only thing I was looking forward to...

  • God, I wish this movie wasn't so wank.

    On the bright side, more people are discovering the show, and Legend of Korra is up and coming.

  • am I looking at Leonidas in 300 movie battle scene? lol

  • TOO MUCH SSSSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW­WWWWWWWWWWWWWW-----MMMMMMMMMMM­MMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOO!

    ....damn it took aang 22 seconds to take out 6 guys normally that would be epic but these "enemies" weren't moving...my bad. one guy bent down and the rest went flying.

  • @lillolboy seriously. Why are they making such a big deal about that part at the beginning by adding it into every goddarn trailer in super-slo-mo??? It would be way more epic if he were doing it all in regular speed. Maybe then the audience couldn't tell that easily when he ist being lifted by strings or computer when he's 'jumping' -.-

  • Bad movie, good action scenes. What is this, the 1990's?

  • I saw this on Blogspot's 76movies profile, and I still felt ripped off. When a movie is bad when you watch it online, it's bad anywhere.

    Seriously Shyamalan, its Sock-AH, not Soak-UH. GET IT RIGHT!

  • omg, i went and seen this movie when it first came out and it was so disappointed. granted i went into the movie with low expectations to begin with. first off they cut so much out of the movie that there was almost no character devlopment. secondly they cut and pieced so much stuff together that the movie went at such a break neck pace i swore i got whiplash! the idea for making avatar a movie is a good one this guy just went about it all wrong.

  • i loved the cartoon but hated the movie! m night took every thing out of the cartoon that made it great and came up with a really bad movie! come on at least find some good actors!! he spent so much time on the special affects and not enough time on the acting!!

  • Well that and the movie was an example of an EPIC FAILURE!

  • @deadeyejones17

    Nah it wasn't, movie was awesome. Just a picky and demanding as hell loser that needs to stop bitching :)

  • @its1tym4urmind I'll Stop bitching when i feel like it.

  • @its1tym4urmind Nah just stop bitching and being a faggot :)

  • Da only part i liked was wen Zuko beats up like five guy then barly even use fire bending

  • okay, the visuals are ok but it still looks really bad. Slow-mo is good for close calls but not ENTIRE FIGHTS.

  • Pure Visual FX^^

  • lol side scrolling fight scene!

  • hasn't he mastered waterbending?thn y mus they w8 till he make a tsunami n thn they say he master water?

  • hm... i have to admit some parts of this fight is cool.

    ugh... m night why?...

  • bad cgi doent look anything like the show

  • This is the gayest thing I've ever seen ;-;

  • @CrossMarian23 He's not even a he in that scene. That's his stunt double, Jade Quon.

  • @Cliffjxn, still intrepreting aang, so... there is no direfence, thats Noah's face, may be they put it in her place but, still aang :P

  • @blackjack1416 Maybe so, but, Ringer was still unskilled enough that they needed hire someone else to do his fight scenes. Besides, some people (like me) could tell he wasn't doing it and it drew them out of the moment. A bad thing. 

  • @blackjack1416, may be a bad thing... but... thats great!, they put noah face on Jades... thats pretty good, imagine all the things that they could do with that kind of technology

  • god this movie sucked so bad they took everything out of the cartoon that made it great and came up with this crappy movie!

  • to much dancin

  • What the fuck is this bullshit? He's not Leonidas.

  • OMG awesome music.

  • this movie might have sucked, but at least it looks cool :D

  • This was the only good scene in this otherwise shitty movie.

  • CGI-BENDING!

  • @erzan jajajaja.... TRUE... cool CGI FX...btw

  • is 0:2 is that a bulge???

  • in 0:2 is that a bulge?

  • is that aang bulge in :02 sec. ??????

  • is that aang bulge. in :02 sec?????????

  • @erzan because turning Water into Ice is so possible with practical effects and making water hover also not to mention producing flame from the center of the palm that shoots further then 2 feet

  • Wow, those effects look so unrealistic. It's gotta be CGI, right?

  • @aprun

    Yeah, of course it is. :P

    This movie sucked the big one. What a croc of utter shit.

  • @aquamarine, by Western I mean "not East Asian." However, in a Japanese context when we use the term "Western" that tends to generally connote European/American (thought it *should* include Latin America, Africa...). My point is the cartoon characters don't look very East Asian to me, in other words they look Western. Big blue eyes and all that. But my other point is they don't have to correspond to any race that exists in reality - just like green haired, violet eyed anime characters don't. lol

  • @flyingapplesauce, right right, i get that there's an Inuit theme. The criticism has been that Asian actors were not cast for the main characters in the live action film. I'm just saying that should not have been a requirement because to me those characters in the cartoon look Western anyway.

  • @snnydl85 Western what?

  • dude, he aint fighting....hes dancing...seriously..look, hes doing a ballet move at 0:12....

  • wow this movie was a complete mess, the one thing i was seriously hoping for here was to at least see the cabbage man, i mean with the film trying to be so damn dark and the acting being terrible a simple slapstick moment with a run in between him and the main characters would have at least been enjoyable. i will say this though, as bad as the movie was, the soundtrack was just awesome, thanks to james newton howard for keeping me awake with a good score through this movie.

  • @lightbrightshaymin, so they look Asian to you?

  • @snnydl85 Katara and Sokka are supposed to be something similar to Inuit. Not white. Asian and white are not the only races out there.

  • @lightbrightshaymin, u say they don't look white, but they do have blue eyes in the cartoon, right? Anyway my argument would be that they just don't seem like any race that really exists, so who cares if the actors are white. :-P

  • @snnydl85 WOW your blind watch the cartoon or buy a different tv its pretty clear to me

  • @snnydl85 Ok i'm black and i have grey eyes...and ur point.Katara and Sokka along with the other members of the water tribe were obviously darker than a lot of the other races in Avatar,they were based on Inuit cultures.

    I care if the cast white washed or mis casted becuz it's simply wrong,you probably don't find anything wrong with it becuz you ARE WHITE.if someone did a movie on your life or a tribute about you would you want some other ethnic portraying you?

  • Dis film is sick gonna watch it wen it cmes out in UK!

  • shut up retards the movie was good!

  • @ulissesisyuli lol lay off the crack.

  • "At least the effects were decent."

    Love the random soldier fighting in the BG--no one's getting hurt lol.

  • @Tribute0427 wheres the random soldier? i wana see.

  • @lightbrightshaymin They're everywhere. 8D

  • those are some horrible ass special effects

  • Why the heck was he making those noises?

  • reminds me of 300 (slow mo) also, the movie wasn't that bad--critics are too cruel.

  • @groudon66 your right this movie wasent bad its was terrible.

  • I can't believe people actually think this movie was good in its own right. There were no redeeming qualities about the movie. The script was badly written with very poor use of exposition. It's like Shyamalan never heard of "show don't tell". The acting was bad, but that might just be because of bad direction. The bending was turned into magic spells which is nothing like the show. And the fight scenes were bad for either lack of bending or too much unnecessary movements for bending.

  • The only thing that i like about the movie were the long takes in the fight scenes. Don't get me wrong i thought the fight scenes were horrible and i also thought it was unnecessary to put slow motion every two fucking seconds. But still, this movie was fucking horrible. Stupid M. Night Shyamalanstupidass.

  • I liked the movie. The only thing I hated about it was the absence of the kioshi warriors. But Shyamalan promises that they would appear in the sequal. AND I BELIEVE HIM!!!!!!

  • @Agumon90210 i hated it it gave a new definition to boring.

  • The critics are just cruel. I read an article in Entertainment Weekly, and it said on who's to blame for the movie. It said the actors, director, and FX are to blame. Also Owen Gleiberman ( the critic who made the article) also BLAMES THE ORIGINAL SERIES FOR EVER BEING CREATED!!!! He said that the show was just "a veritable trash compactor of familiar tropes and effects". If you want to watch it, JUST WATCH IT!!

  • If they make a sequel(which i pray they dont) how will they make azula make lighting and her blue fire? And if they say "When she bends the fire it will go from red to blue" i will leave the fucking theater right there

  • I actually liked the movie a lot and I'm a HUGE fan of the cartoon. I expected there to be differences between the two, and obviously there was. BUT if you take the movie, and seperate it from the cartoon, it was still good in it's own right. One thing I really don't understand is why people are going crazy over the race thing. America isn't only white people, Africa isn't only black people, and China isn't only chinese people.. So why would the Avatar world be any different?

  • @happybirthdayhomie IDIOT ALERT IDIOT ALERT IDOIT ALERT

  • @lightbrightshaymin Fuck off u people obviously care too much about this movie im done defending it.

  • @happybirthdayhomie LOL we care too much? When you are defending it and got so pissed you said fuck off LMAO your stupid kid

  • THEY DONT SHOT THE ICE SPIKE RISE OVER THE LAST ONE!!! Bullshit!

  • one thing about earth and air benders are earth benders have earth right below there feet and airbenders are surounded by air

  • This scene was 10 X better than that earthbender vs fire nation soldiers scene. Why couldn't M shyamalan make the rest of the movie as good as this scene? FAIL

  • Love that clip. Noah Ringer's skill is undisputed. Also, as for the criticism of the characters' races: People seem to have the idea that the actors should be Asian, but the cartoon characters never struck me as corresponding to races which exist in reality. Their brown skin and light blue eyes is not suggestive of Asian to me, or anything else really. (Cartoon Katara looks *quite* Western I think.) As for its origins, the cartoon was an international effort from the start, not purely Asian.

  • @snnydl85 The water tribes were obviously based on Inuits.

    The Fire Nation was obviously meant to be Chinese. the architecture, the culture, the ships, armour, etc. The airbenders were obviously Tibetan. Not sure which Asian culture the earth Kingdom was, but it was obviously asian.

    In the movie, the entire water tribe is Inuit, except the two main characters, who are white. WTF?!

  • @snnydl85 i can see you 1st argument but if by "western" you mean white for katara and her brother you're crazy.

  • Wow, the effects are stupid, the acting is godaweful, and I can't believe these pass for action scenes. I thought I was watching a clip from the video game at first (dead serious)

  • am i the only one who will admit hating the score? what happened, james newton howard?

  • Yeah u people complain about how you think this looks like shit and all but u have not even the slightest clue about how fucking hard that is to put together. until u even try to put something like this together and experience the difficulty, dont even judge this. Its not like someone threw water from a cup and said "Film that"

  • @happybirthdayhomie Dude, Imma tell you right now; shut up. We can't complain about horrible effects, acting, fights, writing, etc until we do it ourselves? No. He chose to be a filmmaker. Its a public career. The public criticizes. People have standards, and he missed the mark completely. He deserves every bit of criticism.

  • @BalmungSama0 like i said before on a different video i give up u people will never understand so i really dont care anymore. unlike most of you i do not care about perfection just the idea that the movie was made is satisfying enough. besides its a kids movie what the hell do you people expect? everything cant be picture perfect. christopher nolan couldn't have done it any better. but seriously he tried. GET OFF HIS DICK

  • @happybirthdayhomie Why do you assume kids movies are bad? The show was aimed at kids, it it was fantastically written and performed. Disney in the 90s made great movies. Pixar aims itself at kids. Hayao Miyazaki aims at kids. Many great movies. Saying "its a kids movie" is no excuse. Kids aren't idiots.

    This movie should've never seen attempted. You can't keep the story the same as the TV show. Its made for episodes. It just wouldn't work as a movie unless there were some serious rewrites.

  • @happybirthdayhomie It being a kids movie is no excuse for it being stupid. Classic Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, Hayao miyazaki, etc. All aim at kids, all are awesome.

  • zZZzzZZ so boring zZZzzZZ

  • According to Shyamalan, the "mispronunciation" of the names of some of the characters (Aang, Sokka, Avatar, etc) is because he wished to 'honor the source material' and use the Asian pronunciation. A scene involving the Kyoshi Warriors was filmed but removed,due to the director's belief that it was a long story and would only distract from the movie's main story.Another "giant change" Shyamalan made was to limit the Fire Bender's source of fire so they wont be too powerful. Only the highest can.

  • @Agumon90210 But if they need a source of fire, they're useless! The air and water benders would've destroyed them because they can easily put out the source of fire. No nation would ever lose to these guys. Air; its all around you. Water; if you're near a source, there isn't much the fire nation can do (and the water benders live at the poles). Earth; everywhere. fire: you need a candle. HOW DID THEY EVER CONQUER ANYTHING?!

  • @BalmungSama0 By using catapults to toss giant fireballs. As soon as the fireballs made impact to the place they're invading, they use those burning fireballs as their firebending source. That's where they get their fire source.

  • @Agumon90210 Which is still stupid, because those giant rocks are their huge weakspots. Put those out and they're powerless. And it limits how far they can move into their invasion site, since they can't get too far away from the rocks.

    Making it so they need a source of fire was a stupid change. In the show they could make fire themselves, so it made sense that they could conquer all of these places.

  • @BalmungSama0 Well they can still fight by using those swords. I mean Shyamalan just wanted to attract not only original fans of the series but also people who never saw the series before. I guess he just made a terrible mistake.

  • @Agumon90210 Swords v. people who can control the ocean and ice tht is literally everywhere around them. ...Yeah, the fire nation is totally threatening.

    I can see that, but I don't see how making it so they can't produce fire would ttract more non-fans.

  • @BalmungSama0 Probably because waterbenders need water to bend, airbenders need air to bend, and earthbenders need earth to bend. Shyamalan then decided to change the firebenders (needing fire to firebend) so they could be equally powerful as the other benders. Unfortunately, the audience didn't appreciate it. At least the hightest firebenders (like Iroh) can make fire appear out of nowhere.

  • @Agumon90210 Yeah, I understood the logic, but even then; all of those things are material. Fire is energy in a chemical reaction. he over-thought it, but if he over-thought it just a bit more then he wouldn't have a problem with firebenders making fire.

  • @BalmungSama0 Yeah you're right.  It was just a mistake.

  • @Agumon90210

    earth is everywhere

    air is everywhere

    water covers 75% of the planet plus its inside all living things

    fire..... nope

    this was not "levelling the field", it was putting the fire nation at a complete disadvantage. honestly, what if just happened to rain right then? they would be stuck on the north pole, surrounded by water and water benders with no fire.

  • @ajdude91

    Yeah, and the thing that pissed me off was that they could generate fire. They needed a source of fire to bend it. Only time it happened was when Iroh got pissed and when Sozin's Comet arrives.

  • @ajdude91 wow, your pretty stupid for a guy thats talking about weather. Dont you know that it ALMOST NEVER RAINS in the north pole, the only reason it does would be because of global warming, but i doubt that there're dealing with this situation in the avatar world.

  • I agree this clip looks as though it was made 10 years ago.But the part I hate the most is that for firebending,they can't create fire,they can only manipulate it from an already existing source.

  • Technology has came a loooong way for this movie to look like this. They had almost 160 million in budget to work with on this movie. The clip I just saw looked like something I did on adobe photoshop and flash. Based on the cartoon and movies like the matrix, spider-man, harry potter, and so on, this could have been put together A LOT BETTER. I'm probably gonna watch this on bootleg.

  • You won't find any of this greatness in Twilight.

  • @kasaibouF29 God Bless you

  • @kasaibouF29 True... but whe wont get the weird story tellig like this neither

  • @kasaibouF29 Twilight is only a little bit worse than this shitty movie. WATCH THE CARTOON  PEOPLE!

  • look at all this rage. even real life seems fake to you guys, huh?

  • People i think you'll are being a little too harsh i think thus clip was great

  • Looks good to me

  • sorry... this looked like a video game. O_O this scene right here.

    i haven't seen the movie but now i'm scared to. ><

  • Weirdly enough, this is one of the few good parts of the movie. If Shyamalan got anything right, he knew how to stage an action sequence.

  • Too many haters.. all people do is complain. This was a beautiful clip.

  • @ajbsb69 FAIL

  • Yup. Pure shit. Just like I thought it'd be.

    Boycott this movie - don't let them fuck up something great any more than he already has!

  • The critics were right. The effects are lame.

  • his wire-fu is fail

  • I feel like I'm watching a stick figure that's trying to do stuff. His motions are so... stiff. Was there something up his ass?

  • wow that looks horrible, i can't believe they turned a perfectly good anime into this. friend saw this and recommended not to see it in 3d, 2d, 1d, or 0d.

  • Wow. It looks like he's just jumping around and then randomly the ice explodes. WTF.

  • One of the best fight scenes/bending in the movie. This is pretty much the prime of bending right here.

  • The little kid's screaming is REALLY getting annoying...

  • THE MOVIE ROCKED! I LOVED IT.

    There Are Better Scenes in the movie. I mean I liked this one and all... but man there was some stellar scenes that blew this and the katara zuko fight out the water. 

  • @Zinthaniel THANKK YOU. i havent seen it yet but u have brought me hope lol

  • @Zinthaniel this movie was a fail bender

  • Your Air-bending is weak Noah. More practice!

  • Comment removed

  • just want to say for everyone that live in Canada excluding me live in USA, but happy canada day tommorow

  • This is terrible. In the show, bending involves a physicality to direct the energy -- if you wanted an element to do something, you had to move yourself in a similar way. The element becomes an extension of the bender. But in this clip, Aang is just flailing around, and the water is just happening to do whatever it needs to. There's no sense of connection between action and result. And don't even get me started on the abysmal wire work that I guess is supposed to be his "airbending."

  • @DorkmanScott You got that right, in comparison the actual show was better when Aang shoots blast of air with no slow mo cameras to give an instinctual detales. this looks like "Aang" is doing bale dancing and come on Zuko part sucks the character that"s playing him hopefully wont ruin this movie.

  • @DorkmanScott I totally agree.

  • @throughmyeyesonly shut up

  • im actually looking forward to the film. it looks pretty good. i dont expect it to be totally freaking awesome but i do think it will be fairly entertaining.

  • @FF7gurl The film got very bad reviews just to give you a heads up. But see it for yourself. I just dont think there will be another one.

  • @4topz Yea, been reading a lot of bad reviews and also from fans who got an early preview. Also said the 3D was not worth it; they were post processed I guess. I hope it's one of those movies where the critics were wrong and it turns out to be a good movie. *Crosses fingers"

  • I wonder how stupid Noah felt when he was in the recording room making those fake sounds.

  • i dont care how bad the critics say this movie is im still going to see this movie

  • im sorry, i REALLY wanted to ignore it but 0:07 0:20 and was not very good . Everything else was good, im with it but the transitions from the ground to the air was not fluent enough. Im not gonna let this make me think the whole movie is whack, im just gonna see it in the movies and make believe those minor things didnt even happen

  • HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHSHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA­HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

  • That doesn't look like anything. It looks like they just edited the effects in after having the actor wave his arms around, being swung around by wires.

  • Why is every other movement shown in slow-motion? Yeah, good idea. =/

  • I don't know how old you are. In my case, when I saw the cartoon I was just a kid. Now I am quite a man. So I will love this movie if it is not as childish as the cartoon is.

  • @jmadboy1 With this I mean I will like if there's more dramatic part and there are not many childish jokes, but a balance. Many kids that enjoyed the cartoon are adults now and they deserve to be taken into account.

  • @jmadboy1

    But that was only five years ago... >_>

  • @TheVVanderingStar I meant teens, who are quite adults now. By the way, the movie is not cool, is it?
