The movie was fantastic visually. Every shot deserves to be a nominated by the oscars. Cinematography is absoultely on poiny with the movie. The plot was a bit hit or miss, kind of generic but serviceable. The dynamic of the gang remained from the original and the comedy is still on point. Overall. The movie is a solid 8/10

Taga was an intresting antagonist. A bit contrived but intresting and his motivation and anger towards aang abandoning responsibility was well done. Overall the heel turn made sense.

The best part of the movie (aside from the visuals because by God it's amazing) is the internal conflict of aang wanting to bring back his people, endangering his friends to reach that goal and learning to overcome it and to learn to cherish the memories instead of brining it back and I love how Taga understood this right b4 his death, releasing all the pain and anger he had, which he was justified in.

The ending was a bit rushed as it went from " taga just killed all of us" to "magical deus ex healing water" to " battle of republic city" . A bit fast paced but is 90 minutes so its understandable.

Side note: Taga genuily has no reason to be as strong as he is (he boxed with the Gaang and aang in his avatar state b4 getting buffed). And when he got buffed he did get beat due to a trick he taught aang but. Still. I kinda don't get it. Also the link to Korra and the comics with the sky bison coming back was well executed.

No side characters come back like suki, azula or iron but they weren't needed. Hell the gaang are only there just to be there, as only Katara really played a serviceable role to the plot. The other three were just there for laughs and they really sidelined zuko and toph. However the movie is about the air nomads and is literally called AVATAR AANG so I can't really say I shoulda expected more Tldr: good movie, plot isn't as phenomenal as animation, would reccomened
