I had never seen the show before I saw this film and I thought it was enjoyable despite it's incredibly low ratings. However I have since seen the source material and I understand why fans were so disappointed. The film does not live up to the show at all. Most of the acting was sub-par with two major exceptions Dev Patel as Prince Zuko who managed to capture this confused and conflicted character very well and Aasf Mandvi who did a great job portraying Zhao as the main antagonist. While this film was not amazing I do hope it does well enough so that Paramount will at least give the first of two planned squeals a shot as I feel it is a series with great potential.
If your a fan of the show you may want to avoid this film otherwise it is worth a watch but not worth a trip to the theatre. Unless you just feel like you must see it now wait for the a home release.
Overall rating 2.8/5
