The movie seemed to rush through the story, but that's to be expected since they crammed an entire season into one movie. Aang, Katara, and Sokka barely had any interaction and many parts of the story were very... different from the show. Pretty much EVERYTHING in the movie was pronounced wrong. Aang was pronounced Ong, Sokka was Sooka or something retarded like that, Iroh was Eeroh, and even Yin and Yang was pronounced incorrectly. Wtf. The bending was rather slow. They would take like two minutes doing their martial arts moves before something actually happened. The only person who actually was smart enough to use that to their advantage was Sokka [him? Smart? What has this world come to?], who crotch-kicked a Fire bender when they were still doing their fancy bending motions. Another great example of their slowness is when like ten earthbenders were stomping and shaking the ground, and a rock about the size of your hand flew at the Fire soldier. WTF is with that build-up for nothing!?

Surprisingly, many character's personalities were almost perfect. Aang was close, but a little too serious and dull, Sokka would have been perfect if the writers didn't suck, Katara was just perfect; just as dull as she is in the show, Iroh wasn't quite as cryptic as he should have been, but was still alright, what'sherfaceprincesslady was pretty much in character, Zuko was actually kinda badass in this movie, which I loved, and the Fire Lord and...commander what'shisface sucked big time. At the very end, the crazy bitch looked and sounded quite in character, but we won't know for sure until the next movie.

Overall, it's worth seeing if you like the show [even if it is horribly inaccurate], but if you don't watch the show, it's only worth watching for the special effects.
