So, I saw Avata...er, I mean, The Last Airbender today with Andrew. After having read all of the bad reviews for it, I went to the theater expecting to be let down. To my surprise, I actually enjoyed it. I don't know where all of this negativity towards it is coming from. Sure, it's not phenomenal, but it's by no means horrible. The acting may not have been the best, but the casting was great, as every character felt much like their animated counterpart. Overall, I thought it was a great movie adaption of the first season of the animated series. Granted, I've only seen a few episodes of the show, so I don't know exactly how faithful the movie is to the original series, but it worked for me. And to those people who are complaining about the change in pronunciation of Aang and Sokka's names, perhaps you should learn proper Japanese pronunciation. One thing that always bugged me about the animated series is that it tried too hard to be Japanese but failed, especially with the manga-esque animation. At least the movie got the pronunciation of the names correct. Since the series was obviously inspired by Japanese themes, it makes sense to give the characters' names a proper Japanese pronunciation.
