The Last Airbender

I went to see it last night, and well I really am kinda half and half on it.
While the butchering of the names was completely stupid, I think I had more issues with how specific characters were portrayed. Sokka was not hammy or funny. He was as bland as a Twilight "vampire" *cough*. Aang was not happy-go-lucky at all and pouted way too much for my taste. Katara was too soft and lacked any real stubbornness. Iroh wasn't Santa Claus enough... he was neither fat or jolly. Ozai wasn't nearly as menacing as he should have been.
I'd read all the complaints about the racial issues long before but I was willing to give the movie a chance anyway, seeing as the director claimed to be a fan of the show, and that is why he was making the film.
The one thing I think ruined the movie the most was the one thing I was worried about the most as well: the total lack of humor. There was slight humor right at the beginning but then nothing for the rest of the movie. While Avatar: The Last Airbender did have a lot of serious times in it, I really think that it was the humor that carried the show. This movie was too serious business.
However the costuming, fight scenes and the effects were very fun to watch, and seems to be the only value I got out of the film.
