Anyhoo, one of the reviews says mostly positive things, with the only negative thing being about Jackson Rathbone:

Because it’s so rough, I don’t think it’s too fair of me to comment on my overall opinion of particular problems I had with the movie as most of them will undoubtedly be fixed by the time it’s released. . . Aang is played by Noah Ringer who absolutely looks great in this role. For a kid carrying the film as the titular character, he does a great job for the most part. I’m convinced that with a few roughly edited and performed scenes fixed by the time it’s released, he’ll prove he’s worth his salt. . . Shaun Toub plays Uncle Iroh...by far he is the BEST thing about the movie. Great character, great performance. . . And Dev Patel was also good as the cast out son of the fire lord. . .I had a really hard time watching Jackson Rathbone, who plays Sokka. Talk about overacting. Not a fan of him in this film. . .The action scenes work pretty well, but only one really stood out for me at this time, which takes place in an ancient airbender temple and had some nice set pieces. . .Overall, I think they have a fun-to-watch summer movie here. I’d put it more on the Narnia level rather than the Lord of the Rings level, but still it has a nice feel to it and unlike most of the other test screenings I’ve been to, I’m actually really looking forward to watching this one again
And here's bits of the negative review:

Whoever cast this film should be taken to task, because, if this was the best group of actors you could assemble, I'd hate to see the ones you rejected. This was some of the most wooden acting I've ever seen. The lead child actor was the main culprit and he seemed amateurish compared to some of the others, his two friends weren't much better. Out of the adult actors, the guy who portrayed Commander Zhao should never be allowed to act again. His line reading was atrocious. . .There were also some weird scenes here and there interjected throughout the movie. An oddly miss-placed scene featuring a foot massage as well as some corny attempts setting up romances. . .One scene that I laughed at (but was intended to be serious) is when a certain baddy punches a fish to death. . .I doubt this series will get past this first one.

So what do you think? Has this changed your opinion about the movie at all?
