For me, I think the one thing that will carry this film on is Dev Patel as Zuko because I couldn't have imagined a better choice for a live-action Zuko. I don't know what it is, but I feel that the decision to use Patel just makes sense.
It also makes perfect sense that he's playing Matthew Patel.

Eh, whatever. It's a test screening, and the guys complained about fish punching. I doubt they were fans in the first place, and I wouldn't take their comments TOO seriously.
I can not express how stoked I am. You could easily recognize so many parts from season 1 in there. Appa looks so cool. I'm geeking out over this trailer.

Each trailer for this movie just makes it look better and better - I'm truly hoping that this will be a great movie. And you're right, Ro, all those moments you can so clearly recognize. For me though, the standout was when Aang was talking to the dragon - would that be Koh, I wonder?
Ugh, are they shooting EVERYTHING in 3D now? Anyway, the movie looks like it's going to be pretty cool. Did I spy a Princess Yue?
Wait wait, it's in 3D now? Odd...
Further research has shown that the 3D will be done by Stereo D, which worked on the 3D for Avatar. I have higher hopes for it now, but I'm still a bit skeptical. The movie itself looks fantastic, though. At the very least, they have the special effects down pat.
The bending looks pretty, the acting looks...Pretty okay. It does look like they're following things closely, which is good and bad. At this point, I will have to go see it, but I don't have super high hopes, but it will definitely be better than Dragon Ball Evolution.
Does Paramount's approach to casting The Last Airbender bug you? Do you sympathize with the calls for a boycott? Will you participate?
Me, I don't really care. Certainly Paramount's approach was cynical, short-sighted and tacky. That's clear, and the point has been made. On the other hand, I think protesting the race of characters in a fantasy world reveals a single-minded focus on skin color that isn't productive. More than anything, though, I try not to let politics or personal issues having little to do with the quality of what's on the screen affect my choice of what movies to see. I don't boycott Roman Polanski's movies for his crimes, or John Travolta's, or Tom Cruise's for their participation in a cult whose practices I find morally objectionable. So too with The Last Airbender. I just hope it's good.

Well I do boycott their films, I do not want a single penny of mine to go Scientology.
That's one reason not to see Battlefield Earth. But another reason is that it is the worst movie put on celluloid and any person who sees it is a bad person. I wish I were exaggerating on that statement, but I'm really not.

Oh my crap is this awesome! It's the box set I've always wanted. Plus the price slash is amazing, further proof of why everything is to be bought on Amazon at any given time.

What makes it a collector's edition, though? There were already box sets of each season out before, why is this one any different?
"packed with special features, an exclusive behind-the scenes documentary and a beautifully illustrated paperback book that provides a unique, insider’s view of the amazing designs, storyboards, paintings and animation."
Unquote Not to mention the fact I'm really digging the box art design.

I totally missed that. Well, I know what I'm buying when it comes out.

And yes, you saw Princess Yue. I'm pretty sure the first movie will pretty much be all of season 1.
Oh mans, that was some awesome looking bending action in the movie. Could be. I was thinking it was Avatar Roku's dragon, Fang.

P.S. The trailer looks awesome!!
