Early screenings of Avatar are typically before the fine-tuning and final touches are put on the final product. The early reviews were done months ago, prior to the post-production of the movie.

The more recent reviews have been more favorable. I'm going in to the movie skeptical. I mean, if you expect the worst you can only be pleasantly surprised.

Besides, racebending or not. We need more cartoon-to-movie adaptations overall.

Actually that was a review from someone at racebending that JUST saw it. So that was the final version.

I'd rather have no cartoon-to-movie adaptations than crappy ones that change the story, remove the humor, bastardize the kung fu, and white-wash the main characters. :\

Seriously. x.x I don't see how it could possibly do well if its only 100 minutes and has NO humor. You either have to make a LONGER movie that's serious for adults, or a SHORTER movie that's funny for kids. A 100 minute dead-serious drama targeted at little kids... I dunno how that could possibly do well. XD;;
