Just seen The Last Airbender Premiere a while ago courtesy of a friend, so free tix!!!
Anyway, here's my review for the movie:
[hide]Just saw the premiere of it in Robinson's Galleria care of a friend of mine who works for Enchanted Kingdom who sponsored it. So the only reason I watched it even with the bad reputation and all was that it was free.
Well, to put it... It was just 'ok'. And this is coming from a guy who has seen the series during its airing, downloading it the moment it gets released, even enduring the delayed ending episode due to the writer's strike back then. I'm also a fan of M Night works like The Sixth Sense, Signs, The Village, and Lady In The Water... But I seriously think he should just stick to his kinds of movies and stay out from a classic such as Avatar: The Last Airbender (Legend Of Aang).
As usual, same as all of M Night's movies, the scenes were slow which was appropriate for the movies he usually makes... The pacing was ok, but there were scenes where you'd see people just standing there doing nothing, like when a fight is going on, you can see in the background a lot of Fire Nation soldiers just standing there watching. The acting was bad too, the emotions didn't feel real nor were they appropriate... I guess this was because the actors were relatively new. Same as what was said before, the casting was weird. We have people from India wearing samurai armor of what is supposed to be a Japanese/Mongolian (and only hints of Indian) Fire Nation, Caucasians replacing Inuit/Eskimos of the Water Tribe, and mixed races for the supposed Tibetan Air Nomads... Though they got the Earth Kingdom right with Chinese/Korean people. So I guess they did this to be easily acceptable globally since the series was somewhat Asian-centric and to better differentiate each race. But I still think they should have sticked with what was supposed to be the representation of each race... The movie removed all of the bonding scenes which I guess is understandable with the length of time allotted for a movie, but a lot of those bonding scenes were essential to establish the closeness in Aang's group. Almost no funny moments either, it was like they were all desperate to do something even though they were all so slow. The pronunciation of the names were silly too..
Now onto some spoilers...
As I said, almost no funny moments, there was 1 or 3, but we didn't get the smart@ss Sokka that we wanted, the mother-like nagging Katara, the playful and silly Aang, the stubborn Appa, the mischievous Momo, and the lovable tubby uncle Iroh (he was thin in the movie and was already a bad@ss even though he was supposed to be bad@ss in Book III when he was jailed)... :-/ As I said, they were all acting as if they're always desperate to do something but they're all acting too slow. The effects were ok, but the fighting was just too isolated. It didn't feel like it was a showdown or it was all-out battle at all. The choreography was ok, but all of their movements were too slow even if you'd only expect that from the graceful Waterbenders. One more thing I noticed was that the Firebenders in the movie needed an external fire source for them to bend, unlike in the series where they can already produce fire from thin air... To avoid being IMBA maybe?
The finale battle which was based on the last episode of Book I didn't feel like a war at all, M Night needs to improve his war directing skills since it was certainly lacking. The events were changed too... In the series, when the Spirit of the Moon dies by Zhao burning it after pretending he releases it back in the pond, which triggered Aang's Avatar State in which he was given the power of the Spirit of the Ocean, becoming a behemoth which swept the Fire Nation ships and ultimately sweeping Admiral Zhao, but in the movie, Zhao stabs the Spirit of the Moon and Aang didn't even become the behemoth... What they did was to lay the foundations into Aang's turning (first time) into the Avatar State, which didn't look as menacing as in the series too. I appreciated that they did this to avoid spamming the Avatar State in the middle of the movie, but it was really lacking for me. Plus Yue and Sokka's bond wasn't well established at all for me, and the bad acting didn't help either.
All in all, I'd rather look at the movie as a recap of Book I. It was 'ok', but it could have been great if handled by a different director, roles given to the right people, and fight scenes a little more fast-paced.
Anyway, hope you guys enjoy the film more than I did. I honestly didn't hate it, but the flaws were too obvious for me to ignore it. [/hide]
Goodluck to those who still wants to watch it, especially for the fans of the series like me.
