Avatar... The Last Airbender. Movie review.

Its the weekend guys and I thought to cash in on a rain check I had earlier promised a friend here on hive. When this person gave his review, I thought he was underrating the movie. Though he made some valid points, he was still skeptical about the movie and this led to me promising him to watch the same movie series to understand his review better.

The Netflix movie series with its appealing two minutes trailer got me enticed regardless of te review by Hive account@davidbright two weeks earlier. I was glad to see that the picture quality was enhanced and the creators of this action series tried their best to stick to the story line without making much changes to the original creation.

I can't tell you all how inlove i was with the Avatar original cartoon series. The lazy and carefree attitude of Aang especially when it came to his duties was something to laugh about. To top it off, he had an accomplice or should I call Sokka, his partner in laziness.

Oh how about the courageous Katara, the one girl ready and willing to believe in the avatar even when the avatar did not believe in himself. She was the pillar of their relationship holding them together with words of encouragement and wisdom that neither knew of.

For my review of the Netflix series, I feel the creators tried to water down the true character of Sokka, the lazy, sexist and carefree teenage boy from the Southerrn water tribe. Sokka waa the life of the trio group, always taking things for granted and falling in love with every pretty female he meets in any new town they visited.

For Aang, I feel they did a good job in trying to capture his laikadiasical attitude to being the Avatar at first but over time and a few episodes, Aang is oirtrayed as willing and ready to take up the responsibility of being the Avatar after much realization that the world and his friends need him to be more than an airbender.

I have only watched the first season of the action series and I'm earnestly anticipating the next seasons to see what the creators come up with and if there will be better improvements.

I would like for the comic and humourous parts of the original movie to be maintained cos that's how I remember thr original Avatar series.

All in all, I think the creators did great. The kid actors also did well even though I was expecting much more but kudos to Katara, who showed great improvement as the movie progressed.

My ratings for this movie is 7/10.

I leave below the trailer of the movie for your enjoyment.

Thank you all for reading and viewing.
