Avatar - The Last Airbender: The Complete Book 3 Collection

The final season Of Avatar: The Last Airbender is THE GREATEST THING TO EVER EXIST. It's so awesome that you''re led to believe that something else that's awesome had to die in order for this season to exist.


And after a bit of research I've concluded the now deceased former awesomeness is..Indiana Jones.

Okay so my husband and I got hooked on this show when nickolodeon did an all night run of Book 1 (series 1)one night. Its addictive, funny, sweet and has interesting character journeys. Its quite artistic and as a piece of literature, has poetic leanings. A memorable series with a nicely rounded ending. I give it 5 stars because it does everything it promises for me, so as long as your expectation is right you'll have good fun with this.

I kids (5 and 8) and I love the show. Great animation with wholesome fun and a good message.

I'll stick to reviewing the last season. My entire family has sat enthralled throughout the whole Avatar series. Probably a little intense for many young children, although ironically my daughter has grown up from 4 to 6+ years old watching this entire series. The third season gives fans the payoff, and while there is always substantial comic relief, there's also a lot more character development and a detectable character arc, far more than you would ever expect from a Nickelodeon series. (Hats off to Nickelodeon and their corporate masters, by the way, for getting this show on the air and seeing it through.)

The graphics quality takes a big leap in the third season; colors look more saturated and a lot more 3-D modeling comes into play, with stunning results. Now, this isn't Bergman, but there are many emotional moments throughout the last few episodes of Season 3, but everything takes a back seat to the jaw-dropping enactment of the final battle between the Avatar and the Firelord.

The entire series is something that anim fans can't miss; it's going to stand as a classic of its kind for a long time. The vocal acting, particularly by the fellows playing the Avatar and Zuko, is uniformly excellent. I've studied martial arts for lengthy periods in the past, and the verisimilitude and hard work and research involved in bringing these fight scenes and artful motions to the screen is close to 100% accurate. One scene I particularly liked was the Dancing Dragon form in an episode on Season 3 Disc 3, where both Zuko and Aang both fully master firebending.

I could go on and on. Don't miss it!

I've enjoyed all of the Avatar series with my boys, who are now young teens. Avatar gave them a safe place to explore issues of fear, responsibility, morality, religion and the importance of attitude. That, and it was a lot of fun!

Anyone reading this review (for Book 3) already knows how much delightful the animation and the martial-arts-inspired fiction of "bending" can be. I'll just say that the writers and animators did a marvelous job of bringing this saga to a close, resolving all of the most important themes, elements and conflicts.
