I'm a fan of the Avatar cartoon.&nbsp; Some friends recommended it to me and I devoured it last year.&nbsp; Solid story with some good martial arts foundations.

i watched it a few times with my nephews and they love it.&nbsp; I enjoy but do not watch it faitfully.&nbsp; i would go and see the film.&nbsp; the storylines are strong and so is the action.&nbsp;

My chick and I just took her little brother to it. Me and her love the show, but the film was kind of a mess to be honest. He tried to fit the entire first season into this movie and the whole thing felt rushed as a result. It looked beautiful and the effects were awesome, but it was just entertaining at best. And the 3D added nothing.

Thanks for the bump, I liked my joke.

Well, considering I wasn't expecting 6 movies I'm not disenfranchised that things will be cut and rushed.

Saw it and can't wait for part 2.

Seriously? I heard it was all kinds of terrible.

My friend saw it before me and told me it sucked and it was slow. I went in expecting it to be a bad movie but it surprised me. Since it's the first of a series/trilogy it was decent. Similar to Twilight, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars: A New Hope. Which by themselves serve as the introduction of the characters and storyline. The 2nd Airbender movie (if it comes out) looks to pack a lot more action as the "revolution" against the Fire-benders starts heating up.

Harry Knowels has a good one too. I was kidding myself to be excited for this one.

Watched the first Korra, Misti. Ang and Katara totally got it on and made babies! And Korra has a freaking dire wolf!
I have to admit the writing was pretty terrible, but otherwise I loved it.

[Misteriosa]

it's not a dire wolf; it's a polar bear dog. :tongue:
