What on earth are you talking about? The different styles are clear as day. Of course when you get an avatar you're going to get a lot of CGI, what did you expect? Kyoshi winging around ribbons on a stick?
I'm not talking about not doing the element effects with CGI. I'm talking about shooting some martial arts so that you can actually see what's going on. You know, like the original show did.
Or maybe something like they did in the Matrix movies. Competent shots of martial arts, enhanced with CGI elemental effects. The fight scenes in the live action version are boring.
Boring? Really? Because you can actually see the different styles of martial arts being done. I guess you're just used to all the pizzazz and twirly shit.
I'm sure the actors put a lot of effort in the martial arts scenes. It's a shame I can't see shit with all the cuts they do.
Compare these scenes with the Matrix movies' martial arts scenes. Or Jackie Chan movies, or Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Or ATLA/TLOK.
You never see the motions play out and cut away too quickly, the fight scenes just get tedious to watch.
Umm... Have you seen the martial arts styles the original show used?
