Could've been better

My husband, 12 year old son and I are all avid fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender. So, we all had our reservations on various levels about how good this movie may be. We all wanted the best. My husband and son both thought it "sucked" and I was disappointed as well. We agreed that most of the right people weren't cast (especially Sokka), the purposely misprounced names of the main characters, the story was very choppy, the character development was poor and somewhat misread, the humor was completely cut out, and the real storytelling feel wasn't there even remotely. We weren't expecting a great movie since M. Night Shyamalan was Director and Producer on this one, but was still a letdown. My son said the only character they seemed to have gotten right was the Northern Water Tribe's Princess Yue. Another family we are friends with has a 9 year old daughter and went to see it. They agreed on most everything mentioned above. The only thing that I was impressed with in the movie were a few special effects including the "bending", the fire nation ships, and the look of Appa and Momo. when doing the next 2 movies, they need to have a Director and Producer who can handle the monumental task that is this series. If not, I know a lot of people that will not be returning to see the remaining movies in the series.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

More crude than I expected (which was a lot) but still very funny! Only a couple of parts went to the place of so uncomfortable it wasn't funny, but overall a very good movie. Note, if you're a prude, this movie's not for you.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Expectation wasn't reality

I went to the movie on 5/30 with 2 girlfriends. I am a SATC fan, one is a die-hard fan, and the third has only seen a few episodes and watched the first SATC movie recently. Turns out the friend that wasn't a fan liked it better than myself and the friend that's a die hard fan of SATC. I didn't expect greatness going in based on the reviews even though the preview made it look exciting. I liked parts of the movie, but was less impressed than expected.
The wedding at the beginning, over the top which is fine, but dragged on way too long. The plane scenes were pretty good and there were some funny moments in the dessert. However, the whole storyline with Aiden was boring, Charlotte whined so much it was annoying instead of funny, Samantha was made to seem like a washed up sex addict to the extreme (would have been funnier if they'd toned it down a bit as it made her seem totally desparate), and Miranda was the bright spot with a new lighter attitude. And, as a side note (with no political view attached), they could have done a little less of the pointing out differences of culture as it became overdone quickly.
The fashion was great, but this isn't one I'll bother to rent to watch a second time. If you are a die hard fan, go ahead and see it...just note that as my die hard fan friend did, it just doesn't live up to the series or the first SATC movie.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
