FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

adonis98-743-186503 Taking place 70 years after the events of "Avatar: The Last Airbender," this story follows the adventures of the Avatar after Aang - a passionate, rebellious, and fearless teenage girl from the Southern Water Tribe named Korra. With three of the four elements under her belt (Earth, Water, and Fire), Korra seeks to master the final element, Air. If you loved the beautiful animation, the mix between action, drama and comedy that Avatar had you're definitely going to enjoy 'The Legend of Korra' a sequel, stand alone story that respects the original. (10/10)

hannahmmm While it's predecessor dealt with personal growth, The Legend Of Korra is about equality, spirituality, freedom, fascism and even PTSD to name the mayor themes. Every season introduces a new villain who represents a new ideology and in the end the answer isn't to completely destroy the foreign idea but to consider it and see through your enemies eyes to recognize the flaws in the society. This actually reminiscent of the Hegelian Dialectic which is a concept in philosophy describing that answers can be found by swinging back and forth between two extremes until you reach a synthesis of the both. That's a extremely mature way of thinking for a show whose target audience are mostly kids or teenagers. The villains aren't inherently evil, they aren't the unredeemable creatures we get to see in so many stories but actual people, actually interesting characters. All of them have visions of a better world but they take their ideologies too far. And in the end each of them can claim a victory despite being defeated. By the time the series concludes the benders and non-benders are equal, the world of the spirits and the human world peacefully coexist and monarchy gets replaced by democracy. This is incredibly refreshing in a time full of stories about the Saurons and Voldemorts and evil Firelords of the world. It may not always be executed in the best way possible (especially in season 2 in my opinion) but you can really feel the thought and philosophical effort that went into this story. Of course the storytelling is flawed which can get quite annoying especially in the first two seasons. There are pointless love triangles and storylines about moviestars that lead to nowhere. But in the latter part of the series the creators really figure out a healthy balance between moving along the overarching plot and nice little subplots. The Legend Of Korra may not have the epic overarching story of its predecessor nor the entire comedic genius of it but in my opinion it is every bit as great. It highlights themes of global significance. It's about testing your believes against opposites and finding common ground. It makes us wonder about the unlikely places great ideas can come from and what happens if we don't open ourselves up to change.

mrfreedom-stallnig -Great but inconsistent artstyle. -Interesting and educational but very poorly handled themes, with false, sometimes even morally wrong resolutions/quintessences. -Major violation of various basic principles of fiction storywriting, and forced plots, resulting in a lot of bland exposition, poor conveying of important character motivation, and biased points of view. (The mystery is dispelled, as simple "magic" granted arbitrarily by gods.) -Unnecessary and subjectively very bad chosen explanations for the world and its laws, sometimes in conflict with the original series (incosnsistent rules to bending and spirit realm, very flawed origin story, technological bs). -dumbed down, two dimensional and stereotypical characters with little to no (or just the pretense of) developement. Especially the unintellectual, tantrum throwing bully protagonist with anger issues, who gets everything handed on a silver platter and never really has to deal with the consequences. (And if it happens, it isn't shown). And the beloved Characters and their legacy from the original series are handled despicably. -Comedy theatrics are obnoxious and often out of place. -The world of charming traditional asian cultures from the original series were discarded for a cold, western steampunk setting, which gives the series a totally different feel, and imo not for the better.All in all, it's avatar, but with less of most what made the original series great, unnecessary additions, and a sour aftertaste.

Jack Dalzell SpoilersWhile not reaching the heights of it's predecessor, TLOK is an amazing series in its own right. It's a successful follow up to what is regarded as one of the greatest TV shows of all time that continues to build and develop this amazing world Bryke has created and give us likable and well developed characters, whether they be good or bad, and create intricate and complex story lines that has the audience questioning and thinking about the issues the show is addressing. Themes such as fascism, equality, PTSD, and much more are prevalent throughout a series supposedly meant for children. It's a darker and more mature show when compared to A:TLA, which is saying a lot considering some of the events that occur in that show, and while darker does not always mean better, TLOK does a fantastic job of addressing and conveying these issues, especially through its villains. Characters like Zaheer and Amon act as far better and more interesting villains than any from the original series (yes, even Azula). However, that being said, it's not a show that has you feeling this way on the first go around. Part of that may be because you're blinded by your love of the original series. Spending three seasons with Aang and then dealing with Korra, who is practically the exact opposite of Aang in almost every single way, it may leave you with a huge dislike for the main character because you grew so attached to Aang and found his character more likable and relatable. As a result, some become ignorant of her immense character growth and the struggles she goes through in her time as the Avatar. Even I wasn't that big on Korra, both as a character and as a show, the first time around (especially when Season 2 hit, which is the weakest season and with how Korra acts in the beginning of it). I thought it was good, but not much else. Rewatching it, I see a lot more of the complexities of Korra's character, and her actions and decisions seem much more justifiable (most of them, her behavior in Season 2 is still a bit irritating, but again, understandable). Korra's journey is different from Aang's, and that's the point that a lot of people miss with this show, but both end up becoming successful and highly accomplished Avatars in their own right.Is the show flawed, yeah, but so was Avatar, despite how good that show was. I'm not saying Korra is better than Avatar, but that doesn't stop me from loving TLOK in its own right. I'd give TLOK an 8.5 out of 10, but since I can't give that rating, I'll round it up to 9/10.
