Review
I know that when a film was adapted from a certain source like book or animation, some scenes are edited. In animation, Iroh already know that Aang is the avatar but in the movie he needs to make a test putting the elements in front of him then if those move, he is the avatar. The scene also which is equivalent to the Imprisoned chapter of the animation, Haru was caught because the old man that he saved told the fire nation soldiers that he is an earthbender. In the movie, he was caught because Haru was throwing rocks on the soldiers and they not stated that he uses earth bending.
The acting of the characters is also a great disappointment. You will feel that how they stated their dialogs, there is no feelings. It is like just talking with a friend. In a movie acting should be the priority.
Shyamalan depended on the CGI effects which he think will encourage people to watch. The reason why many people watch it because of the advertisement but when they go out of the theater they will say the movie is a fail.
Rating: 2 good
