  • ruined my childhood

  • THE MOVIE RUINED MY CHILDHOOD.

    The series was one of the best series' ever however!

  • M. night shamamalama sama kun.....

  • rofl xD im watching the movie now.... zuko is waaay two bipolar its makin me laugh

    who are you, WHAT'S YOUR NAME??? your going on my ship GET ON!!!!

    and aang (or ong o_O) seems a little whiny,

    tho the film isn't completely bad. tho the bad parts are hilarious ive gotta admit

  • @mcridiculose technically everyone's names in the movie is pronounced the way it's actually spelled

  • @SuperHeroTimeGroup yeah, i know, tho it was disrtacting. it was also extremely distracting that only iroh was able to spontaneously create fire.

  • @mcridiculose it just comes to show a high leveled or a master of Firebernder can do it, which i thought was a nice touch

  • @SuperHeroTimeGroup but to do that he demoted (or limited) the rest of the fire nation's benders in skill, which i thought was meaningless. i mean, even if they couldn't make fire from nothing, i would rather iroh being on that same skill level, yet exemplifying himself in other ways, like it was in the series. that's what i admired about the series. what the movie did to it, along with other aspects, just distracted me... =__=

  • the opening sequence in the movie i thought i was thinking, 'they're doing it all wrong!!' then everyone started to shh me and i realized i was yelling it...

  • Comment removed

  • Here is what I said:

    0:01 : He's making spagati!

    0:05 : OMG! He just kicked a rock and broke his leg!

    0:10 : What a fancy kite he is playing with.

    0:16 : AIR BENDING SLI... Oh wait he's just passing gas. Like if you aggree!

  • por que tantos negativos, a abertura ficou legal , só o resto do filme que nao kkkkkk

  • Um, So they used Katara when the cartoon used Paku(Katara still learning while Paku being a master), some dude for earth which I'm thinking was Haru(Never seen the movie) instead of the general, Zuko instead of Azula, who we all know Zuko was not as good as Azula, and so random monk instead of Aang. And they ever ruined the symbols. Another reason I will never watch this movie.

  • @KatieLynnC92 The dude for Earth is either The Boulder or Roku's Earthbending Teacher. And actually, if you look really closely at the show's opening air thing, it's not Aang, it's some guy with a moustache who could be Gyatso.

  • the airbending part was kinda retarded....>xD

    they really did a shitty job with this movie >_<

  • this movie gave me cancer.

  • sorta good, they need to fix the edititng tho.

  • At 0:15 is the guy having a stroke? or bending? we'll never know.............. we'll never know.

  • Was this in the movie?

  • THAT WRITTEN LANGUAGE IS AN INSULT TO CALLIGRAPHY.

  • My siblings and I finished watching the show on Netflix last week. We heard about the movie and thought we'd give it a go.

    The "WHAT THE HECK"s started at this point and didn't stop until 20 minutes later, when we gave up on it.

  • the airbender did a nice job, the firebender was okay and the rest looked pretty average to me. the way the earthbender repositioned himself afterwards made the whole clip look really amateur to me.

  • Gay.. They Didnt Focus On The Story..Nd Seriously Zuko Is Hwat Not Ugly Like The Guy Plays ZukoIn The Movie I Suggest Next Time They Mke A Movie Of A EPIC T.V Show They Get Ppl Who Wacth The Tv Show Nd Luv it 2 Play It Nd A Betta Dreictor...So Wat Im Saying I Waz Very Disspointed In The Movie -_-

  • Dude this movie is going to be awesome!... (watches penis hair) awesome part number 1... and that was it (shoots self in face)

  • Mo me gusta

  • We all hated the movie, so why bother make another?

  • They get tips for trying..but this Movie was such a fucking fail!!!

  • Still hatin' it

  • All the movements sucked except for the air benders, that guy was fucking going all out lol. brst part of the movie..

  • wait what

    are those scribbles in the background

  • @peetaspikefang scribbles

    unnecessarily changed from the opening sequence, which was in an actual language, to pointless crap.

  • if you're a fan of Avatar the last airbender (anime of course) you'll no what saying i'm not a martial artist, but i could tell u this!!

    the martial art master that did the last airbender already explain that taichi style is use for waterbening and that bitch ain't using any taichi...

  • the movie is SHIT

  • umm completely different to the cartoon series!!

  • such a bad movie. its as if they never consulted the creators of the series

  • @BonoForAmerica Haha. Nice! I agree with u completely!

  • The show was excellent, but the movie was AWFUL!!!.

    The same thing happened with Dragon Ball Evolution.

  • anybody else find the transition between the earth and fire bender incredibly jarring?

  • There were so many complicated, unnecessary movements for the airbending that they had to speed up the sequence - look at how fast he's going, I doubt anyone can go that fast naturally. It had to be altered at the computer.

  • Honestly, I enjoyed the live action movie for entertainment value. This may be, however, because I realized after watching "The Lightning Thief", that if I continue to compare a movie adaptation to it's original, I won't be able to enjoy any of the movies coming out nowadays.

    I found this opening also very refreshing.

  • watch?v=SLUhq_9hdQw for the better version. like this comment so other people can see

  • i think they over did it with the movements when bending...

  • The only really good part of the movie was the opening sequence...

  • @happyLILwierdo Heck, the opening sequence was the second best thing about the movie. The horrid movie ending was the first best thing about this movie, btw.

  • @happyLILwierdo  I could not have said it better my self

  • @happyLILwierdo no the best was the end

  • FAIL

  • one of few things they got right about the movie

  • This was sadly the best part of the movie x.x

  • guys stop arguing i think we can all agree that this movie just sucked and killed the series.

  • @SilentDivergence: one more fact that you might agree to was the choice of actors and characters. i mean in the movie, Soka is just too seriou as compared to the Soka in the anime series who is really hilarious and Aang looks a bit too young...more like a baby =P

  • the only time that there was any bending moves that even looked like the ones in the tv show what the fire and air benders maybe they should spend less time trying to be creative with the script and more the watching the tv show to see what it's support to look like in the first place and what rely set me over the edge was when they said anng's name wrong they suck

  • Yet another example of some idiot director or producer ruining a series while making it a movie. The only other movie this was comparable to on a fail-scale was Eragon.

  • The movie should of ended after the opening scene.

  • @movies798 This movie should have never been made in the first place. lol

  • @TheTrinity848 So true! I just wish they made an animated movie!

  • @movies798 At least we have Legend of Korra to look forward to.

  • @TheTrinity848 Oh hell yeah! But I'm still checking for the release date. It said mid-2012.

  • Someone said this made Dragonball Evolution look like a masterpiece. That's given what I thought was a very terrible adaptation of my favorite anime series too much credit than it deserved. At least this one actually looks a little bit like the source material (note that I said "a little bit". The bending sucked balls.). DBE did NOTHING in making itself look like the source material.

  • @inuyashavsnaruto but Dragonball Evolution, while looking like NOTHING of the source material was mildly entertaining, this movie is:

    For the fans of the show: A living insult to them.

    To people who never saw the show: A boring movie with crappy actors, sappy poor written lines (believe in your beliefs? teachers to teach you something? WTF?) poor special effects, and crappy combat sequences.

    in every sense of the way this movie is an epic fail.

  • @Shakduhn True, I for one wanted to destroy M. Night for how Last Airbender turned out. But I didn't like both films. I thought they were both complete crap, and Paramount and Fox should be ashamed for making them, but Paramount for disregarding M. Night's previous failures and letting him direct such a high profile film.

  • I can't BELIEVE we almost saw this in theaters!!!

  • @princessthyemis I can't believe that I did! You were lucky!!

  • shyamalon can suck my balls

  • Worst...Movie...EVER!

  • It looks like their dancing and random elements are just popping out randomly. XD

  • The bending is horrific.

  • Comment removed

  • ...This movie really did suck.

  • The sad thing is this was the best bending in the movie :(

  • not to mention that the show used actual authentic chinese for their writing, whereas this movie used nothing but meaningless scribbles made by a child.

    one of the worst parts is that Martial Arts expert Sifu Kisu (The show's consultant to ensure the moves were as realistic as posible) OFFERED SHYALAMAN HIS HELP FOR THE MOVIE, and here's the kicker.............

    SHYALAMAN REFUSED HIS HELP!!! aparently he believed that his horrid seizure-like "martial moves" were better than the real deal.

  • @Shakduhn ARE YOU SERIOUS?! THAT'S AWFUL!!

  • @princessthyemis >.< I know rite? its like Shyalaman wanted to say in a cinema screen in front of all the fans of the shows worldwide "KISS MY INDIAN ASS"

    to double the amount of fail, Nickelodeon gave him full creative control over what he could do with the movie, whereas they saddled the makers of the TV show with a bunch of censors and limitations.

    If it was any director I'd say fine, but we're talking about the "genius" who made Lady in the water, and The Happening.

  • @Shakduhn Yeah, you're right. If any other director did it, maybe it WOULD have turned out fine. THEY, at least, would've seen the show first!!

  • Avatar cartoon = Used real-life martial art styles for each bending form. Tai-chi for waterbending, Hung Gar for Earthbending, Northern Shaolin for Firebending, Ba Gua for Airbending, and Chu Gar Southern Praying Mantis style for Toph's unique form of bending.

    the series also used Sifu Kisu of the Harmonious Fist Chinese Athletic Association as a martial arts consultant to make sure it was as authentic as posible.

    Movie used = Convulsion style, stroke style, and cardiac arrest style.

  • @Shakduhn fsm, that comment is so much win.

  • Comment removed

  • @Shakduhn Don't forget the movie's bad-break-dancing style.

  • @Shakduhn i literally LOLed

  • @ShakduhnThis movie hurt me so bad I started crying.I kept saying no that's not their name!why is Sokka so serious!why are they bending like that!Why is it so bad!Did they not watch1episode or at least the intro of the show! thats not how the jailed earthbenders were!How could they be trapped surrounded by earth!How could the Firebenders beat anybody if they had to use an outside source for fire!The worst movie ever!If it wasnt for the title it would have nothing to do with the show!

  • Air bending doesnt need so much movement! its just like a flick of the wist

  • zzz even the character in the background are wrong

  • I laughed my ass off when I saw the airbending.

  • @demonnogo ROFL, RIGHT?

    *Seizure*

  • lolol the airbending looks like the guy has epolepsy (or however you spell it) xD

  • Lol. The writing behind them when they do their "bending" (pour excuse for bending) doesn't even match the writting that's in the show...? XD For real. Just noticed that.

  • Show was good. Movie was shit. Screw M. Night and God forbid him making another movie. Ever.

  • I always loved the show Avatar. I love the effects in this movie, but that's the only thing I like! The names are pronounced SO wrong. They totally ruined the characters' personalities. Aang is supposed to be playful but he's too serious. Plus, no Bumi, Jet, Haru, all our favorite characters are gone!

  • I watched the first 10 minutes before i know the movie was bombed, they did not resemble Aang at all they actually made him look very serious, and also the bending was shit, it looks like they're having a seizure

  • it seems so real!

  • Personally, I think the movie was a failure. I don't think they got any of the characters right, except perhaps Iroh.

  • Best part of the movie, but only problem is 0:08, where the Earth bender just stands there and it suddenly switches over to the airbender.

  • Also on a lesser note the facial depictions of aang and zuko were less desirable such as zuko was at frist semi-bald and had a big viewable scar whereas the film's zuko could have at least had a big burned scar on his face. There was also fact that m. night was too stingy to add in a biodiversity of the avatar hybrid animals like at the begining when sokka was talking about tracking tiger seals, it would have been helpful if there were a huge heard of them and then when the fire nation

  • Well SilentDivergence I'll tell you why this movie sucked those who watched it. First off the storyline was way too rushed (for those who either watched the cartoon series or not) and the characters way of expressing themselves was bland as if they all ate a huge load of immuno depressants. Whenever they would do their bending actions there was an uneccesary pause for that element to bend whereas in the series once someone lift their feet or hands that element immediately lifts in the air.

  • @BrontoSmilodon1 Your points are well taken. While I have never advocated that this was by any means a great movie, I also haven't gone to the extreme of criticizing it as being the worst. Opinion on what is good an bad is all subjective. You are correct that this in no way captures the essence of the Avatar series and comparing the two very much proves your points. I tend to try separating film adaptations from their TV counterparts when I watch because otherwise they tend to never measure up.

  • @SilentDivergence that's true but the movie could have at least have had better lines

  • @BrontoSmilodon1 That I can agree with you one.

  • @SilentDivergence point well taking!

  • @BrontoSmilodon1 and there was a lack of comedy

  • @BrontoSmilodon1 The movie could have been as bad as it was now and it they just put in these four things it would have been so much better:

    1. Zuko's scar

    2. Correct Names

    3. Funny Sokka

    4. They need Aang to be happy and show some feeling toward Katara that is like his entire character.

  • @Silverstar1311 The scar is there, but it's too friggen' subtle D: And small, and unclear :'(

  • @Luka1180 Oh i can't see very well so i had to take off my glasses to put on the 3D glasses so i couldn't see it very well. AT ALL.

  • This movie was inaccurate and dull. I should have watch Twilight Eclipse, and thats saying something since I prefer Harry Potter. Im glad shamalamadingdong could not have use the word "Avatar" on its title. Nickelodeon's Avatar: The Last Airbender was absolutely glorious, M. Nights Shamalan's The Last Airbender was a laugh and at least i watch the movie for free so money did not matter.

  • @ShinyMew151 well the reason why m night shitadong didn't use the word avatar in the movie's title because James cameron decided to use that word for his movie, but at at least that movie was good.

  • is just me or he transformed those BEAUTIFULL chinese ideograms from the cartoon in childish SCRIBBLES D:??????

  • why was the air bender having a seizure?

  • I wish they will continue to make a second one but M. Night must leave to be the director, producer and Screenplay writer...

    What I wanted to see at live-action are Toph, Mai, Ty Lee, Azula, Combustion Man, etc...

  • if your going to post this as the fucking title then use the real title... are you too stupid to relize that this isnt it...

  • @death356 Considering that this is the title that the film was released under (check IMDB next time), what poorly thought out point you were attempting to make is null. I would suggest next time doing your homework before you decide to throw around insults. Since you seem to feel you have all the answers, why don't you enlighten us to what "you think" the title of this film is.

  • I would love to audition as Azula, Tylee or Mai for the next one!

  • I guess asking for the actual Symbols would be too much

  • 0:15 hahahahahahahaha the airbender's dance-thing is funny

  • WTF? This is not even close to the opening sequence in the show. This is retarded.

  • THE MOVIE SUCKED ASS !!!!

  • SHITEST MOVIE EVA

  • @Falevere I agree LOL

  • @AvatarTLAFacebook what i hate about it most is that aang or as i like to call him bald Fag jumps around for like 10 seconds to make a puff of air

  • @Falevere Ctfuu ikr

  • @Falevere LOL..yeah it takes a backflip to airbend...One of the most beloved series of all time butchered in the hands of M.Night. Any fan who thought this shit was a smash hit isnt a true fan...How the hell was earthbenders rebellions locked in a ALL earth prison instead of a metal rig and one pot of fire in the middle of the prison keeping them from running away WTF.

  • @AvatarTLAFacebook exactly and an other thing is those who didnt know of the series may think its a great movie then if they go watch the cartoon they may not like it and its sad cause they miss out on one of the greatest shows ever made

  • @Falevere And that's why I joined the group on facebook named : M.Night should be hanged for treason against the last airbender fan base lol..exactly right...god that damn pebble bance..Oong..Eroh, Soka.Avutar, A=Eg-Ni-Kito WTF all wrong and shit cast, these people cant even act.

  • @AvatarTLAFacebook i dont know if its true but i heard that the only reason that bald fag got the part was because of his martial arts skills. What they couldnt find an actor and a Martial Arts person and he wasnt even fnny and what happend to the gigantic awsome koi fish monster it was just a wave and he didnt even kill anyone

  • @Falevere Aang can't kill anyone remember ( Last episode with the fire lord!! The monks teachings don't allow it, I even though that was I bit off in the series, like the orignal authors somehow overlooked it. I did miss the giant water thing Aangs transforms into but I felt the wave was more real to Aangs personality.

  • @Crystal2001 yes but he like alwasy killed people unintentionally while in the avatar state cause he couldnt control it really at that time its only after he meets the guru that he can cantrol it

  • the movie sucked. they only did some parts of the story, they pronounced half of the names wrong, soka is WAY too serous, and they didn't even have the best charter (toph)

  • @VFD1613 Because Toph didn't come until book 2 you idiot.

    

  • @thedarkprince101 i know that! but they could of had book 1 AND 2 (and 3)

  • @VFD1613 On one movie?!?!? No way! one movie per book is ok and they still cut a lot of parts. I MISSED KING BUMY!!!!

  • @VFD1613 k i hate this movie so much but obviously u dont know the show toph wasnt introduced untl the 2nd book this monstosity was only an extremely shity version of book 1 and they left out in my opinion a very important character and that is the inventer from the northern air temple who made the submarines in book 3

  • @Falevere ok, i keep having to tell people that i know toph did not come until book 2, but they could of done book 1AND 2 & 3. they should just do the hole movie over again, with a different directer and with the names right

  • @VFD1613 that would just be even more stupid though cause they left out so much so that they cold fit it in the amount of time and if they did all 3 books then there would be like nothing in it

  • is it me or are the actors portraying as the water airbender seem to be unsure of it's moves. Compared to the other benders especially the airbender, she looks like a novice

  • i didnt like the film, why they couldnt use the same intro as the series, i dont know, and why change how the fire benders fight, and the martial arts into element bending didn't work as well as it does in the series 

  • Has anyone else noticed the symbols are completely different than the show intro? I don't think they even mean anything...

  • I cried because this was so horrible. The movie butchered the anime and if i could have a talk with the director he would get a big ear full of how he should never try to make a movie from an anime again. The only movie more horrible then this was dragon ball evolution........ >.<

  • I hate the little jump-hop the earthbender does, it makes him look five. And Aang is having a spazz attack

  • The most accurate part of the movie right here.

  • this was the only good scene in the hole movie thumbs up if you agree

  • Comment removed

  • it bothers me that the chinese characters in the back look like random squiggles.

  • You call that bending?

  • was anng having a spazz attack on his part?

  • in the movie i can't believe how bad the acting was more than anything! i laughed so hard when katara ran up to zuko and hit him dead gently and then he just pushed her away and fell so fake, the whole film is such a let down, it would of been good if it was made by warner bros or something

  • the bending in the movie was sooooo slowwwwww!

  • Are those real words? Or did M. Night Whatever make the most spectacular mess-up?!

  • @princessthyemis that wasn't even the worst mess up....it got so much worse

  • @leperachaun Yeah, I know, I watched the unbearable movie *shudder*...So, you're saying that they ARE squiggles and not real words?!

  • Terrible, just terrible.

  • The Earth to Fire transition was lols.

  • m. night made a movie RUN!!!!

  • random seizure time!!!!!!!!!!

  • fuck this movie, i'll take the new series over this ass anyday.

  • That sucked ass. The pacing was way too slow and it didn't have the flow of the series.

  • Movie was god awful...

  • M. Night should never made this movie.

  • not good  :[

  • The sad thing is that scene was best part of the entire movie.

  • @willydru lol your right there the ,movie was pure shit m. Knight should have quit while he was ahead!

  • @willydru Yeah, and even this scene wasn't done right. Says alot about the movie, really.

  • The movie might have been good for people who haven't seen the tv series but in the tv series everything the fight sequences, the bending, just everything about it was done very well. In the movie they changed to much of it, I know when you make an adaptation of something there are things you change to make it your own but there are some things you don't change. Like the bending, it took to long in the movie and it just didn't flow the way it did in the series.

  • Okay, why couldn't ALL the movie's bending be this good?!? This proves they could do it right! But I guess they just figured "eh, just mimicing the title sequence should be enough, let's half-ass the rest."

  • the avatar movie sucks its crappy midnightshama what ever did a terrible job on the movie. its really bad. its an insult to avatar. dont watch it Also none of the main charaters are asian, expect for zuko, but hes indian

  • the avatar movie sucks its crappy midnightshama what ever did a terrible job on the movie. its really bad. its an insult to avatar. dont watch it

  • the actor of iroh!! he was really good

  • @imaniprincess Did he make any Tea Jokes?

  • @Nixom1334 noo he was more serious than silly
