The Last Airbender

The Ember Island Players has actually become about 500 times funnier in hindsight.

Wow, it's almost like they foresaw it. Sokka actually saying "but the effects were decent" at the end was perfect in every way. I loved it.

Oh, wow. That's some great foreshadowing right there.

Well, this sparked some controversy. http://www.racialicious.com/2009/01/21/avatar-the-last-airbender-culture-comparison/

You're about a year and a half late. Oh, and it doesn't take a genius to figure out that airbenders were tibetans, the earth and fire nations were north and south/east chinamen, and waterbenders were inuits. That video was pretty unnecessary in the article.

I've heard some reviews from people who never watched the show before, and they said it was pretty good. Is the movie only bad because of the inconsistencies?

I've heard the same thing. Oh, other people are saying they heard the same thing as well.

Some people are still saying its bad even without watching the TV show though.

Even if you haven't watched the show, you're still in for a bad handling of the overall plot, which doesn't matter whether you've watched the show or not. A lot of backstory is told completely by exposition or a conversation between characters, which takes away quite a bit from the overall impact. The dialogue is pretty poorly written, too, and the deliveries from the sub-par acting really doesn't help.

Basically, it just failed to entertain on pretty much every level that makes a movie entertaining. Don't be surprised if you find yourself starting to think about other things half an hour in. I actually began wondering how to advance the plot of a comic I'm working on around that mark because the film failed to engage me.
