BASED ON ANIMATIONS

"Book 1: WATER". Not bad but the 3D wasn't that great, only when the elemental bending happened especially water the 3D looked good but that was about it for the 3D side of things. Adaptations are usually disappointing especially when they have been altered heavily or re-written completely different from the source, however this was still pretty close to the original animated story line which I quite liked since I've seen all three books of "Avatar: The last Air-bender."

Trying to fit the entire season one of the series into a two-hour flick is tricky business but I think at least the core of it was presented although I noticed the central portion of the film seemed rushed, but perhaps that is due to the fact that I know what really happened from the animated series.

I know that the the original animated series got better as each book was released so I am looking forward to the second book "Book 2: EARTH" because my favorite bender will be joining "Aang' and the gang! Kids will dig this but if you expect too much you'll likely be disappointed, however for me it wasn't.

I loved the way this movie looks and I was amazed with the fighting sequences. I never saw the anime that this was adapted from but I might check it out now because it was difficult to understand and weirdly strange, perhaps the anime may help me understand it a little better.

My interest was slow but gradual, slow though... very slow. I was about to sleep but then it starts taking off, however I was still lost and didn't quite get what was happening, but it looked amazing and this could do well in 3D.

I think checking out the anime first before viewing this may enhance your experience because it is quite a hard one to follow, but the fights are cool though.

It's really good if you're a 'Street Fighter' fan of the game! A pretty awesome surprise as I surfed the net and found this film because I, who is a 'Street Fighter' fan had forgotten about this, so with no hesitation I put my Broad-band to use and got my fix on an adaptation of one of my favorite games.

I can't really remember the last episode since it's been, I don't know, 10 years or so. Anyway this was a treat for me to see the new characters this time round displaying their familiar and unique signature moves. It's not the best story in town and to be honest it's not as good as other 'Japanimations', 'Manga' and 'Anime' that is available online but I guess this is more for the fans rather than the unfamiliar.

I love the games and I've played nearly all of them up to 'Street Fighter IV' including the spin-offs and imitations, and still playing them. I had forgotten that those who were first to get this game got this as a free bonus DVD and I am sure as hell happy to have stumbled on it online and see it! Not for everybody I guess, but then again... nothing is. Enjoy it or loathe it, FIGHT!

You have to be prepared to watch these older adaptations of 'Narnia' because it is not fantastic in the looks department, I'm only watching these cause I'm on a new mission. My new mission is to take 'The Chronicles of Narnia' voyage to watch 'em all! And that means even the ones you wouldn't.

I actually gave this 2.5 stars but just added another half a star for childhood memories. I remember the BBC TV version of 'Narnia' years ago when I was a child and remembered how it took me on a fantastic voyage! I'm actually not sure if it's this one but it say's TV show so it must be since there are no other TV shows about 'Narnia', is there?

Anyway, My 'Narnia' mission is in motion now beginning with this one and my adventure continues as I seek 'Prince Caspian' on his 'Voyage of the Dawn Treader'. So far so good and I'm off... Not a bad start! Otherwise a good choice for children... well, children who don't know or haven't seen the up-to-date cooler version.

THE ACTION IS CRAZY! I must admit though I had seen this once before and initially would of gave it a lessor score because I was so confused and lost. The second watch however was so much better because now I just had to fill in the gaps which sealed a less-frustrating experience in my sitting.

I decided to be 10 years old and not go to serial-land for this trip so I could see this the way I wished when I was a kid. I remember conversing with family and friends about Transformers and how it would be cool to see it in live action. Well this. Was. Crazy.

I was absolutely entertained, well maybe not the first time round but adjusting my mentality the second time round definitely transformed my opinion. An A-grade action phenomonon.
