Alright. For those of us who actually watched “Avatar: The Last Airbender” on Nickelodeon…I’M SORRY! For those of you who didn’t watch the show…I’M STILL SORRY!
A plot summary for those who don’t know:
Aang is an Airbender. Yes, he bends air. No, he does not fart in spectacular ways, he bends air to do whatever he wants it to do. There are four types of benders, as there are four elements (see how that works?). In sequence, Air, Water, Earth, Fire. Aang is the last Airbender and the Avatar. Forget the James Cameron movie with blue aliens, this is the other one. The Avatar is the only person born who can master all four elements and he, or she, is supposed to keep the world in balance. Aang threw a hissy fit when he was named Avatar and ran away only to get blown off course and trapped in some big ice thingy for a hundred years. During that time the Fire Nation has taken over the world and started destroying and enslaving the other Benders because they can. Katara and Soka, from the Northern Water Tribe, find Aang and bring him to their village and that’s when all the shit starts. The Fire Nation finds out that the Avatar is alive and then he is hunted for the rest of the film. I would continue but I don’t have all day to give you the plot of this epic piece of shit.
My review:
Oh my freaking god. I hated this movie. The special effects were cool for about three minutes. I loved the idea of bending the elements and the different martial arts styles that were embodied by the different people but I just wanted to gouge my eyes out with a movie theater straw. This movie, much like G.I. Joe, raped my eyes. I wanted to ask for my money back and I didn’t even pay to see the film.
Um, using our rating system, I’ll have to say this ranks at around a 2…and that’s me being very generous.
