So I went to see the Last Airbender last night. WORST. MOVIE. EVER. Only second to High School Musical. And yes, I have seen HSM. I want my hour and a half of my life back, Zac Efron!

First, I guess I'll say some good things about the sad attempt to recreate a beloved children's TV show:

- The CG was pretty impressive, I thought. The waterbending caught my eye especially. Pretty.
- The costumes and sets were really well done too. They were believable and ethnic.
- Appa was soooooo cute!!!!
- They managed to capture Aang's turmoil and distress without making it too angsty or annoying.
- The soundtrack was good. It's not my favourite, but it was good none the less.

And now, the things I hated about it compared to the series:
- No Bumi!
- Haru's just a little boy!
- Aang is no fun at all - he's too serious!
- Zhao's sideburns were pathetic!
- Fire benders can't create their own fire?! What the hell?
- Katara was too much of a wuss
- Master Paku was too nice
- Sokka wasn't sarcastic enough
- Speaking of Sokka, what was with that obnoxiously long ponytail?
- They changed the pronunciations for Iroh, Aang, and Sokka
- Iroh wasn't obsessed with tea and food! And he wasn't fat!
- No froth man! (You know, the crazy rabid man on Kyoshi Island)
- NO KYOSHI WARRIORS!! Big plot hole for the future!
- NO CABBAGE MAN!!!

And at last, things I hated about the movie on its own:
- No plot
- Battle scenes dragged on too long
- Overused slow mo effect
- THE WORST DIALOGUE WRITING I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED
- Too fast paced when it needed to be slower and too slow when it needed to be faster.
- It just sucked, all right?!

I gave it a chance and, well, it really disappointed me even when I tried to look at it in a different perspective. If there are going to be sequels, I hope that they'll learn from their blatant mistakes in this first film.

Now, I'm going to watch the entire first season of the Last Airbender TV series so my image of it won't be tainted for good!

I haven't even seen it yet and I was irritated when I heard it pronounced "Ahng".
