I honestly say it wasn't that bad because from the moment I heard about it, I knew it was going to be terrible. And it was, hence why I say it's "not that bad", it didn't disappoint my expectations for it.
I remember the first thing people got upset over was when the liberal PC police created rivers of tears about how Aang was being played by a White kid who can't act instead of an Asian kid who can't act. If they knew how the actors were selected, they'd know the director, who I'll keep nameless, wasn't looking for someone with experience or any care to actually teach the actors to act. Instead decided to see what Greenland looked like (where the water tribe was filmed).
It's hard to take this film seriously, and what's supposed to be serious only makes it end up being funny. Such as the "pebble dance" or the very hilarious war cry shouted out by the water general (is it supposed to be Paku? I don't remember them saying his name). And let's not forget the penis hair. And that LETHAL rock that "really hurt" that poor fire soldier! One last hilarity, watch anyone reading this, watch the deleted scene where they're in this village and they just break out into dancing, oh my god, that was hilarious. For more hilarity just mentally image the actual characters in that scene. I was laughing for about 20 minutes.
So yeah, the movie sucks. The pacing was too quick, too much exposition throughout the whole movie, no Omashu, Zhao wasn't portrayed appropriately (arguably none of them were but I felt Zhao had it worst). The only good actor in this movie was Iroh. A thin, non tea loving, impersonating Iroh.
I'm surprised it's been 3 years since this film was released. Time flies, huh?
Not that bad.
