I saw it a while back on DVD. I thought it was just OK, not really bad but also not super special either. The acting wasn't bad, the directing could definitely have been better and the special effects were so-so. All in all, it seemed like a movie that could have been much more than it was. FYI, I've never seen the cartoons and know nothing about them, so I don't know how it compares, though I've read that it's not a good adaptation of the cartoons.

yeah .... I was not surprised.
I watch the cartoon when it was first shown and enjoyed it, it works on many levels.
they changed a few fundamental things in the film.
"like the Firebenders .... in the film they need a source .. burning wood or whatever..
but in the cartoon they don´t . they generate the energy within using chi and using their arms or legs can project the energy in a direction which becomes fire or lighting energy. "
I also found the movement to control the bending in the film slow and not quite quick enough... is a small thing but it look like the directer could not handle the visual and live action elements to make it smoother.
but that is my take on it.
