I read alot of reviews about this movie weeks before I watched it.The reviews said it was really bad and completely deviated from the Avatar anime series. I was prepared to be disappointed. These reviewers are on crack. This movie did not deviate that much from Book 1 of the Avatar anime series. The first Harry Potter movie deviated more from the book. Or even Eragon. The movie was not that bad. I mean really if you read the reviews, you're thinking Attack of the Killer Tomatoes bad. Yes, the acting was not that great. The special effects weren't either. It was more of a ho-hum than bad.
What I did like was the spiritual sense of the bending powers. It was kinda like the martial arts style Wushu.
The kids in this film did good job representing that, which is the core to the Avatar series. I like to see anime or comics translated into film for these very reasons. The characters in this film look exactly like their anime counterparts which I thought was cool as well.
I hope they make book 2 into a movie. I will watch that one as well and not read the reviews on it :)
