Seriously people!! With any adaptation from one thing to another, there is always change. ALWAYS!!! I have seen every episode of the cartoon Avatar The Last Airbender and was absolutly pumped to see the movie and all the comedy in it. I had heard that it wasn't that good and that a lot of things were changed ect ect.
I went to see it anyways.
I LOVED it!!
The changes that were made were not that significant and the story kept to the main points that needed to be broached. Sure, it would have been nice to keep all the comedy in the movie, but lets get real. In a movie where you're the last of your kind, you're fighting a war that's been going on for 100 years, you have to learn three new elements in one year (three in the movie) when all your past lives had their whole lives, and you just woke up from a century long nap....there has got to be some seriousness to it. The comedy would have made the movie seem awkward and unreal.
The fact that Sokka seemed more mature than Katara didn't bug me too much. He's the older brother and he should be the one that's looking out for his little sister. In the cartoon, Katara being the mature one seemed all fine and dandy if you looked past the fact that she was a mere child when she supposedly took up the role of the mother of the family. I like the fact that that was fixed in the movie. Her being the one looked after seemed more of the way it should have been.
Lastly, and the thing that got me, was how well the score and the movie flowed together. Usually movies don't give me goosebumps or get to me in any way. With the way the score and scenes came together sent bumps up and down my arms through-out the whole thing.
If there was one thing in the movie that people should take a closer look at, I think it would be the score. Listen to it and watch the movie together, not seperately.
Well, that's just what I think.
