Clearly it should have been a musical.
But seriously, all that effort to move one rock? That's horrible. Is all the bending in the movie like this?

It did take 4 Waterbenders to down a fireless Zhao.
But they did what the Ocean spirit did, so that was pretty epic;.

It took all of them to move that one rock? No wonder the we-can't-create-our-own-Fire Nation took over the world...

Ahahaha, I was hoping these clips would be posted. I just can't get over how puny that rock is for all their song and dance. The zoom-in on Eeroh's eye and Katara pushing that one guard are so ridiculous too, oh my gosh. What on earth were they thinking.

What on earth were they thinking. u guys didn't fully look at that clip did u.....they focused on the 6 earthbenders then 1 EARTHBENDER came and actually bended the rock...it wasn't the group who bended...it was the guy who comes in on the left.... but obviously you wouldn't take the time to analyze..rather...criticize... but anyway....the movie.. (after watching it a few times) wasn't as bad as many are making it out to be...there's still those moments where im like "why did M. Night put that scene in?"..but im starting to like it.. idc what any of you think..bash me if you will...but there are good parts of this movie where it truely captures the essence of Avatar....(aang in AS bending)...it did teach the moral lesson of humility and how even if you can destroy someone/thing, doesn't mean you should. that goes the same with the movie to all the critics who constantly bash it to make a statement.... i love both the show and the movie..(at times)...but just because i think the movie is okay..does that make me less of an avatar fan??... no.

Heh, ok have it your way. The rock was being thrown by the guy who appears up front. Then what the f**k was the dance troupe in the back doing? In fact, your way makes the scene even funnier! Anyway

Sorry Aanglover, but I disagree. If all of the bending clips are accurate, this movie definitely has a theme of the benders doing the whole bending routine *before* the elements begin to fly. That rock is already in motion when the single Earthbender appears on screen, and he's still doing his routine as well. Either the clip cuts out before his own attack appears, or he's just helping to propel the rock along, which... makes the scene even worse imo. ^^;
As for analyzing the movie, oh there's a lot out there and probably more to come, especially with how Shyamalan nerfed Katara, the racial implications of the movie, and general storytelling related woes. I love essays as much as the next person, but not every thread needs to be one.
If you want to like the movie though, that's fine, go for it. It's your money, it's your time. But not everyone has to like it, and clearly there are a lot that don't. It's just one of those 'agree to disagree'/'personal mileage may vary' things.

compared to the cartoon , this movies was horrible .. they left out big parts such as the kyoshi warriors , sokka's humor is left out , Aang was more joy full than serious , i mean yeah he was serious at some points but not a lot m. i do say that oppa and momo were great but still , this movie felt incomplete .. to those who are fans of the series * * * * out of * * * * * * * * * *. action was decent and the bending was okay. my personal opinion is that they should have did part one of the movie based on the episodes 1-10 and made it 3 to 2.5 hours . also instead of 3d , use the money to fill in the gaps they left. all in all , decent movie but NOTHING COMPARED TO THE ACTUAL SHOW !! my advice WATCH THE SHOW NOT THE MOVIE ! or watch the show then the movie , then you'll know what im talking about.
p.s why are there so many Indians in the movie ?? lol

same as what Lady Juse said....i thought it was okay...but it's definitely not the greatest movie of all time....not by far... there were aspects of it that i liked though compared to the show....(giant tidal wave=showing humility, yue's hair turning back to brown, zhao getting killed by waterbenders, air nomad clips & the bowing back) there were some scenes where i'm like but aang in the AS looked freakin' cool. ;D and noah ringer is a very emotional character, you could feel the emotion emitting off the screen and into your heart on the final wave scene. (IMO) im definitely not saying everyone should like it..because i don't try to make others think differently than their own opinion...it's just MY opinion. i know many of you don't like my opinion..but that's just too bad. ;D for the record...if many of you think i'm "betraying" the series by watching and kinda liking the movie...i still loveee the show more...soo..

I seriously found the the most horrendous and funniest thing in the entire movie. How in the world could six earthbenders only be able to throw a tiny pebble across the screen. And the darn thing didn't even go fast, it just slowly crossed the screen. Another one of the the disappointments of the movie. And was that scene supposed to be the one from Imprisoned? Cause Haru sure looked like a girl!
