Plot Synopsis

Upon rescuing him, he reveals himself to be Aang, Avatar and last of the Air Nomads. Swearing to protect the Avatar, Katara and Sokka journey with him to the Northern Water Kingdom in his quest to master "Waterbending" and eventually fulfill ... Written by The Massie Twins

The first PG-rated film (in the USA) M. Night Shyamalan has directed since Wide Awake (1998). See more »Goofs
In the scene with Sokka and Katara, just before Sokka is breaking the ice. You can clearly see a large ice formation just behind and the the left of them. During the ice breaking scene it is still there, yet when the ice is cracking and they back the way they came its gone. Also, in the over head shot the terrain all looks flat. See more »Quotes

Crazy Credits
As the credits start to roll, Aang, Katara and Zuko bend the elements: water fire and air. No earth bending is demonstrated, but an airy figure of Aang stand on top of stone pillars. See more »Soundtracks

After waiting extremely eagerly for this movie, I sat in the theater and was extremely eager for it to END. Ear-oh? Oong? Soak-ah?! Could they have butchered the names anymore than they did? Worse, the entire movie felt like a string of clips put together for an hour and a half and not like a movie at all. All the major parts of the Book of Water were skimmed over, while things like the freeing of the earth nation village (while important) were given screen time that could have been given to major events like the southern air temple.
The actors were dismal, with the exception of Dev Patel as Zuko and to a lesser extent Shaun Toub as Iroh, who wasn't an accurate portrayal of Iroh visually but at least captured the character's wisdom much better than many of the other actors on board for the movie. He however failed to provide many of the aspects of Iroh that made him endearing in the series.
I will give that the northern water kingdom was gorgeous, but that's about all I have to say kindly about this movie.
If you love Avatar: The Last Airbender as the series, I recommend giving this movie a miss. It's heartbreaking how they butchered something that had such fantastic and barely needing change source material.
