I've read the reports and sources. it's pretty much people making excuses for a wacky ass cast that didn't have to happen, which was a surface sign of the movie being crappy as soon as cast news was released. To be honest, I've had some conversations with some former staff of the cartoon, and they were uncomfortable with the casting as well.

if you think of it as a standalone as in not a avatar adaption it might be worth watching for free on the net

however anyone with half a brain and watched theseries will watch the first 15 mins then think how much longer till it is over or just get up and leave

action is good the story is predictable

aparently they will be going a number 2 and 3 for the film

too cover book 2 and 3

but there were 2 things that are biggest pieces of shit i found are

1 uppa the flying bison poorly done hardly seen and never actually in the same shot he isa always doing his own thing

2 the gayiest ending ever in the carrtoon/anime he merges withthe ocean spirit and goes and kicks ass in the movie he does it by him self and makes a giant wave but doesn’r even fucking use it ooo its a wave we sound all be scared

I posted it to the site, noticed you'd beat me to the punch and ripped it down on a count of redundancy! If you or anyone else would like to read a similar post which praises this wonderful show they can do so at my personal blog! To all of the regular MDP goers I'll warn you that my site is ugly, but it's home! http://bit.ly/cx4FsH Chuck, I wrote up my own thoughts on Avatar after racing through the series on netflix.
