Love to hate Twilight (I seriously get delighted when i meet somebody who's unfamiliar with the phenomenon and I can get all detailed about it's badness. I can rant about its women unfriendliness and hysterics all day.)
To me, the enjoyability of something depends on two things: Expectations and wishful thinking. With Cameron, I was happy about being warned in advance that the story was inferior to the visuals. I enjoyed it very much. For 2012 I read the worst of the worst reviews, got a few beers, and enjoyed it immensely on the big screen.
On the other hand are your wishes for a story or franchise that you love (ie disney, avatar etc.) The stronger your attachment to the original, the higher your standard for the movie adaptation will be. I couldn't care less about Cameron's avatar in advance, so I was able to watch it with a very open mind. However for The Golden Compass I cringed at every detail that was different from the book, because I loved those so much and there was so much potential in my opinion.
For Bryke's Avatar is going to be almost impossible to reach my standard and anticipation, but your attitude to give it a chance is a good one!
Lol I know I have to watch it(Airbender) to see if it will suck or not, or none of my arguments will have back up evidence to why it was bad casting and terrible adaptation.
