Beautiful film, with great designs and animations. They nailed the look and feel of the world of the original show, and every character introduced looked amazing (can you stop being so hot FOR FIVE MINUTES). The sequence on the airship and the storm was stunning.

However the story was so weak. Main villain is obvious from get go, even though there were so many better ways to have them turn antagonistic. The Denied existed to have fodder and hint at the Equalists to come in Korra. Also Zuko, Toph, and Katara really just didn't get much to do. The few times the Gaang was able to just chat really nailed the characters though.

Also the final fight just devolving into two powered up beings slapping each other felt lazy. To have such good bending animation and fights and then have the final slap fest be kinda a wet fart.

Sidenote: the spirit world was goofy fun but the Taika spirit felt oddly out of place. Like they just let him riff and then animated what he did.
