Synopsis: The film is set in a fantasy world where the four elements of earth, air, water, and fire can be controlled through martial arts called bending, and the ruthless flame-manipulating Fire Nation is waging war to control the other nations of the world. At the same time a young boy named Aang, the last surviving wind manipulator or Airbender and is also the Avatar, the physical incarnation of the world itself who possesses the ability to manipulate all four elements, is on a quest to stop the Firebenders and save the world, with his friends Katara, a water-manipulating Waterbender from the South Pole, and her brother Sokka. But the skilled and vicious Prince Zuko, the banished Prince of the Fire Nation, is on the trail of the Avatar, seeking to regain his lost honor by capturing him.

us true fans think that this is wrong.they messed up the whole plot and the movie sucks.the people
they choose to play: katara,soka,zuko,& aang dont even look alike.they also dont even have toff, auppa, or momo. did you following & upset fans like me,that there is another avatar movie, in 3-D,
and those cast members certinly dont look alike.that movie is for adults only, some people in the movie are half naked.that movie is so far off, they have robots!!! every true fan knows that in the eposods, all of the avatar stuff happend at the same time as the dionasours.and this movie isnt even on earth.and no mixed species, like the platupus-bear.the other movie dosnt either,SO THEY SUCK.DONT SEE “AVATAR” OR “THE LAST AIR BENDER” YES, THEY ARE 2 DIFFERENT TITLES. NEITHER ONE HAS THE SAME CREATOR FROM THE EPOSODS.THEY SUCK,DONT SEE EITHER ONE OF THOSE MOVIES
why dont they just make another season then just a gay movie like anyone will go to the movie really were they thinking at all because why would u want to go to movie cause it wold just ruin your thought of the entire show god they should just make a fourth book!!!
umm..wow. first..learn to spell. second: the movie (it is just one movie for now) is based on the first book of the series: water. toph isnt in the first season. any “true fan” would know that. third: its a movie. therefore its going to be different from the show a bit, just like movies are usually different than books. and as for the half-naked people, well they have those in the cartoon too…
and how do you know if the movie sucks? its not out for another year…
i think that everyone needs to calm down and give it a chance. if you dont like it once its out…thats fine. you dont have to watch it.
“Avatar” is a James Cameron Film that has nothing to do with “avatar the last airbender” the cartoon show.
Kade is correct. The two movies are completely different and not related. James Cameron’s is based on another plant and race of beings. Check out the details on imdb.com to see for yourself. Also note that because of this confusion, M. Night’s movie now has a working title as just “The Last Airbender”.
LOLOLOLOLOL.
IT HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE DINOSAURS?
SOKA? AUPPA? TOFF?
I’m pretty sure that first post was intended to be hilarious.
HAIDAN are you serious? Are you under the impression that Avatar and The last Airbender are both movies about the same show?? Robots and Dinosaurs??? seriously??? hahaha and where was it ever stated taht “AUPA” and Momo wont be in the movie? wow your dumb get your facts straight before you go crusading against TWO DIFFERENT movies for a reason as stupid as “we all know it happened the same time as the dinosaurs”
What the hell is wrong with you? Are you this retarded? You’re obviously not a “true fan” because you got these two movies mixed up because you’re gay as hell. You can’t even spell the names right. And for the most important part, “the movie sucks” you hadn’t even seen it yet so stop talken lame ass shit. And if you were a “true fan” you shouldn’t care that the movie had even fucking mario in it, just as long as it was based of the precious show.
Haidan. you dumb. stop talking.
=]
I saw who is playing these guys. I can already tell this movie will suck. I love this show so much and they’re just gonna screw it up!!! The selected cast look nothing like the characters!! The guy playing Aang looks nothing like Aang. Why? Why do they have to do this?? Why can’t they just do an animated movie?? They’re going to ruin the series :(
wow. fist of all haidan is VERY stupid, second of all i think the kid who is playing Aang does kind of look like him. HELLO AANG IS A FRICKEN CARTOON CHARACTER. of coarse he wont look really like him. and the cast are bunch of very good and perfessional actors. even though zucko has a tan.
First of… It has been confirmed that Momo And Appa are going to be i nthe movie.. They will be computerized..
And Toph is not in it becuase its going to be a triligy,,, The first movie is book one… second movie is goign to be Book two… third movie is going to be book three.
And for all of you pople saying oh the Director is racist!. There is no Asians!… welll Remember the show is only Asain influenced… Like most of the characters dont look Asain…. Aang in the show.. indeed looks white.. And Katara and Sokka look like Hispanics.
But to tell you why they have these they dont have all asain character becuase NOT EVERYONE IN THE WORLD IS ASAIN. Its going to be like our divers world.. YOu get it?
Most people in the FIRE NATION are goign to be INDIAN
WATER TRIBE people are mostly going to be WHITE
EARTH KINGDOM peeps are going to be ASAIN (maybe that will shut up the stupid fans ranting about no one being asian >.>)
AIR NOMADS( Idk yet.. )
And for people saying this movie is going to SUCK becuase they dont like the Character choosing.. well You guys arnt True Avatar fans what so ever. I true one would know that the Movie is oging to be EPIC despite the Character choosing…
the only thing that i really disliek abbout the movie is they are going to “Ground” childish Humor… Such as farting and what not. The director says he doesn’t want that. So this means that Sokka’s personality might be different=[[[[!
LMFAO! That idiot first guy has GOT to be kidding, otherwise he’d just be a creepy guy that likes to destroy fan love just for kicks…
ME, on the other hand, THINKS THAT ZUKO IS A FRIGGIN’ BEAST!!!! (on the animated show)
And I really, REALLY, hope that Dev Patel can pull off the sheer awesomeness that a certain banned Prince exudes. If not, I still think that this will be an amazing movie that I WILL SEE AT MIDNIGHT!!!! OMGOMGOMGOGMOGMOGMGOMGOMGOGMOGMGOMG!!!
And hey, does anybody know anything about Uncle Iro? Who’s playing him?
GOD I CANT WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE! 285 DAYS AND COUNTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
screw y’all who ALREADY hate this movie……
you can say you hate it in 285 days u noobs….
this movie is going to be awful in so many ways its gonna be exactly the same asthe Dragon Ball Evolution movie exactly the same character and plot all fuck up. The character are all wrong zuko is that one guy from slum dog millionaire like wow they couldnt find any more of a pussy looking guy to play as the bad ass zuko. i say that Aang looks alright but for the rest they all suck. For people who watch the show and like this movie are crazy this movie is messed up by only the cast and thats not a good start. the show was in asian background hence everyone has to be asian or at least look like the fucking character. i love this show from the being to the end but i hate to see another bad movie base off a cartoon show. this movie will only good by the action and graphic but as an avatar movie it will be horrible.

First of all, I am a busy adult woman (24 yrs old) who accidentally caught an episode of the Avatar The Last Airbender and got hooked ever since. I saw the entire 3 series in a week’s time. What makes it one of the very best anime series, if not the top best, is the beginning, middle and ending are interesting, driven and uncomplicatted, and satisfying. There may have been a few off things that 12 year olds don’t necessarily need to worry about, but it kept it interesting and funny and just addictive! So Iearn that a movie will be coming out next year. Looked in on the characters, but the plot hasn’t really been released but I assume it will stay similar. The research I got had me deciding the cast alone makes the movie suck and complicated. I can see this movie will be one of the wannabe hit anime series turned movie that may catch the attention of those younger than ten, but it’s audience much older than that have already decided the movie is a disappointment. M.Night Shy guy usually has eye catching controversial movies and I’ve never said they were stupid or lacked soul, but this one will be the first to be judge just as that by me. Sorry to sound so critical when the movie and trailers and more of it hasn’t even come out, but Nickelodeon needs to start up Season 4 where Zoku looks for his mom and Toph goes home and Sokka and Katara settle back home and Aang tries to restore his temples. Maybe Katara and Toph can come along, but whatever makes Season 4 come back.
It’s still horrible. I still think they could of done better at casting! Honestly why does zuko look so ugly? I’m huge fan of the series and Zuko is my favorite character. When I found out the cast. It was just dissapointing. The effects look okay…as what you can see in the preview. (Dosn’t mean it’s going to be good graphics.) It’s just only going to attrach the younger crowd. Sorry for those die hard fans V.V
By what ive seen its gonna be horrible. Its just sad how people can mess up so much in something so good and simple. In my opinion they shouldve just made a film with computerized characters (the same as in the anime) or a fourth season.
First of all i’d like to say:
I agree with the people saying to wait for the movie to come out first and THEN criticize it.
However, unlike films which derive their character imagery from books, this film has an actual visual depiction of how its characters should look and has completely disregarded that.
Here is how I think the characters should have been cast (incl race) :
Water benders are TANNED for a reason, they spend their lives on the snow where it is very easy to burn under the reflection on the snows surface
Therefore I think that DEV PATEL should have been cast as SOKKA due to his darker skintone and dopey looking ears- perfect for the comedic character that is sokka
I also think the girl who is playing Katara looks like a six year old
This | is called an opinion. DEAL WITH IT
|
\/
! : The girl who plays Katara looks like a 6 year old
2: Who the hell will take Dev Patel seriously as the character ‘Zuko’ with those huge dopey ears?? He SHOULD have been cast as the fun loving comedian ‘Sokka’
3: Aang looks great
4: The man who has been cast as ‘Uncle/General Ihro’ looks like a pedophile
5: The water tribe are TANNED and should be cast as so, BECAUSE THEY LIVE ON ICE WHICH REFLECTS THE SUN – HOW MANY PEOPLE GO ON A SKIING HOLIDAY AND DONT COME BACK WITH GOGGLE TAN LINES ON THEIR FACES? NONE THATS HOW MANY
7: I think that the fire nation should be Asian- honestly can you imagine an INDIAN sister to Zuko playing the part of cruel powerful Azula.
8: The guy who plays Sokka looks like he sucks on lemons all day and is wayy too serious
9: Being from New Zealand I am absolutely SICK of seeing Cliff Curtis’ face on .. ANYscreen and just about died upon discovering this D Grade actor is playing the part of Firelord Ozai??!!
the movie is bullshit that all that need to be said
This movie is as shit asbucket of shit. I mean, have you seen the characters. the only thing they got right acout aang was the ears. The company is so stupid that they put up pictures of Aang,Sakka,Katara and Zuko and then put their lame ass movie actors next to them for comparison. They got almost nothing right,the only thing they got right about ANYONE was Aang’ ears. Sakka and Katara look nothing alike.
Word to the wise, if you don’t want to ruin the series, DON’T WATCH THE FILM!
Avatar is just another hollywood failure sci-fi.
Once again they use overly loud soundtrack scores to make up for the lack of real dramatic content.Not one thing is truly original in this movie.You could take the soundtrack from “the day the earth stood still 2008” and swap them with avitar and you wouldn’t know the difference.I used to be an avid sci-fi movie goer but not any more because moviemakers use special affects as a subsitute for dialog and plot.
This is just HORRIBLE! THE CAST!
Sure the guy playing Sokka is niccccce
but they have it allll reversed.
Zuko is sth like Chinese or Japan and white or yellow but they made him indian
ON THE OTHER HAND, Katara and Sokka are WHITE unlike the cartoon
not trying to be racist here BUT UH!
I bet FANS could make a better cast list AND look more alike!
UH! THis is soooooooooooooooooooo wrong. And poor Appa and Momo. ):
They save the characters a LOT in the series and are SO important!
disappointed
wow i think it just could be ok even tho the cast is bad it still looks pretty good from the previews
You know what this movie is gonna be most definitely EPIC!!! I’m so excited for this movie to come out. Yea, yea, yea all you keep whining about the actors being stupid and sucking and what not but you know what if your a true avatar fan…….then you won’t give a crap about the actors you’ll learn to deal with it. I can’t wait to see how it comes out watching the trailers get me too excited, the trailers look amazing. I mean yea sure M. Night aint the best director around and whatever but I mean you gots to give the guy a chance this could be his come back. I hope it is. 80 more days baby!!!!!
And if this movie is a total fail, I will totally cry. Going to opening night.
in my OPINION:
– they should have just kept going on with the show with more seasons (it was a big hit idk why they stopped or made it so short. despite the 3 books. they could have made it 2 seasons per book atleast)
– the movie coming out can only be judged by the previews
– the casting isnt all that great
– Dev Patel shouldnt play Zuko for sure lmao. i wouldnt be able to take it seriously (his brother from slumdog would atleast be a better zuko than him. i dont see one ounce of evil in his face x] )
– i hope it is a trilogy (even if it sucks, because atleast theres new avatar material.. just give us fans something right?)
– and lastly all we can do is wait and see
– i, like all other avatar fans, will be upset if the movie doesnt do that great
– but the graphics are gunna be good atleast
– and from the looks of the previews, the movie is pretty similar to the show. so all we can do now is have hope that the movie does well
personally idc about the cast! how they ACT as their character is what counts! I did not watch all of the shows but i watched many! Once the movie came out i was excited and right now im dying for it to come out! Besides stop critizing it when you didn’t even see it yet! Once you see it then rant all you want about it! btw I really wanna see Momo and Appa!!!! Though I think i might be a little freaked out about how Momo will be computerized. Just imagine it!! He would be ADORABLE! But FREAKY at the same time! anyway thts just what i wanted to say………….
