Hoping my Chiefs brothers and sisters can help me out. Is this movie adapted from the cartoon series? I don't follow the cartoon, but my sons love it. I was going to take them to see the movie, but it looks very, very different. Are there earth and water benders in the movie?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No. It isn't an adaptation of the cartoon. (I was hoping for that as well when I first heard of the movie.) Basically, it is a $400M James Cameron hallucination as far as I can tell.

Against my better judgment to flame the FUCK out of you, the answer is no.

The movie out now isn't related to the Nickelodean series, that movie will be out early summer 2010. I'm looking forward to that one. M Knight Shyamalan is directing and it should be interesting IMO.

Big difference:

Avatar has James Cameron

Air Bender has M Night Shamalongacrap

I read in some article (don't remember where, but I think it was linked on Drudge) that he came up with the story years ago, and the blue people were something he first thought up when he was a kid.

I saw this movie last night. It's Matrix meets Jurassic Park meets Pocahontas. The CGI is amazing. I'm not big on Sci-Fi but I think it's a must see.

I think every James Cameron movie should end with the death of Leonardo DiCaprio.

Either / or. As long as DiCaprio dies I’m good with it.
