Due to some friends of mine I became an enormous fan of the cartoon "Avatar: The Last Airbender". I bought the DVDs of all three seasons and watched it from start to finish. I was impressed, not only by the animation, but additionally by the complicated story line and the sturdy messages it was teaching kids concerning honor, responsibility, friendship, trust, religion, and love. This show is by so much one in all the most effective cartoons I have ever seen and is even one in every of the best shows that I have ever watched. I thought that this show would be perfect for a visit to the big screen, as long as the filmmaker treated the material with respect and captured as abundant of the shows perfection as possible.
Before going to see the film that was just released of "The Last Airbender", I had browse a few reviews that tore it to items and proclaimed it because the worst movie of the year, decade, and quite possibly the worst film ever made. This really worried me as a result of I like the cartoon so abundant that I hoped that the film would live up to the show, even simply a little bit. I was conjointly worried as a result of M. Night Shyamalan, the writer, director and producer of this film, is currently during a slump. His past four movies have not been successful and have all been a mess. Thus, I went in well ready to be disappointed.
Fortunately I wasn't as disappointed as I thought I'd be. They did persist with the story line of the cartoon pretty well. I mean they had to fit a twenty episode season of about 10 hours into a one hour forty-five minute movie. The difficulty I have with this movie is that there was no heart in it just like the TV show. There was no spirit of adventure, no laughs, no forward momentum. One in every of the simplest elements of the show is that the most characters were youngsters that have been put into adult things and they need to unravel them along, and being youngsters, they were sometimes enjoying their adventures and bonding with one another. This did not transfer to the film. I didn't feel any chemistry between the characters and a number of the acting was simply plain bad. There was completely no humor during this film, which is surprising because of how much there is in the TV version. I conjointly really didn't get the feeling of any danger from the fireplace nation. The entire premise of this story is that the fire nation is attempting to require over their world. Positive, they showed them as the antagonist of the film and they attacked the northern water tribe, however not once did they need me fearing them or what they could do.
There was additionally a problem with how some of the character's names were pronounced. I understand this sounds trivial, however if the general public has heard these names pronounced one means for years, why would they presumably wish to vary the method they are pronounced? Will that build any sense? His name is Aang, which ought to rhyme with hang. Am I wrong here???
I really hope that the other two films during this trilogy are made. This story is amazingly told in the unimaginable cartoon that was aired and it deserves to induce an equally amazing movie trilogy as well. Hopefully the studio will let the following film be written and directed by folks that actually respect the material and who wants to supply the general public with fantastic journey. Here's hoping that this can not be the last adventure of Aang and his friends.
