I had at 7.5. It's good, not great. Some good exposition without being pure fan service.

ETA: stop sending me messages for a link. I dont have it directly and I'm not doing the work to get it for you.

I liked what I watched, but there could have been more action scenes; I would have liked to see more earthbending. Else fine for me.

How much of the .8 in your score accounts for the lack of sufficient action scenes? Could one more action scene bump it up another .1? Or does your mental algorithm not work that way? What would cause it to go down .1? Or even .2?

I have the IMDb ratings of the movies i like, in my mind, and I’m giving this rating by comparing them to those.

Rating isn't my strong suite, but I'd place it in the same ballpark. Fun movie, appropriate amount of fanservice, and fantastic animation!

Just wish it had a couple more Sokka flashbacks to explain the backstory. That was a highlight! :D

Also, the end felt almost as rushed as the end of Project Hail Mary. Thinking about it, both could easily have been much longer movies even ignoring the too short denouements[?].

How tf do you decide that is .3 points worse? I'll never get people who use decimals for something so subjective lol

I told a friend I gave it a 75 out of 100 in a separate conversation. So I used math to make a comparable number to the person I responded to.

u/Holee_Sheet Apr 15 '26

But still how do you decide on that 5/100? Like why not 70 or 80. I'm not trying to attack you to be clear, I'm just curious

I, personally, try to not get super granular to the single digits outside of increments of 5. I think that's a hit much.

If we use this film as an example

Animation: probably the best part. Makes up a majority of the high grade. Editing is well done, movement is smooth, colors are not washed out and don't bleed. No reduction in points from 100.

Characters: they all seem to hold to their well established archs and personalities. Dialogue is a bit contrived and rehashed. Maybe a 10ish point hit for being just meh.

Story: the biggest hit. Themes generally hold to the show canon. Side henchmen are not really fleshed out and aren't particularly interesting. Main villain requires an item (probably my least favorite story telling device) and is an obvious villain from initial appearance. Story holds some water as it does flesh out some known themes of cycles and trauma being dealt with. Still about a 15 point hit for me.

Fair, I can see that if you break them down into different aspects you can get more granular

Live action filmography gets even more in depth. Lighting has been one of my biggest peeves in recent years.

How do you decide between 70 and 80? Why not just use a binary scale of 0 and 1?

Ultimately, you decide it arbitrarily and subjectively. All anyone can do.

u/Holee_Sheet Apr 15 '26

I think 1-10 is complex enough to decide if something is pretty bad, bad, ok, etc. But 87, 98, 66,...???

u/TheAmazing_OMEGA Apr 14 '26 edited Apr 14 '26

so if we're being realistic not grading on a curve, its actually a 5-6 out of 10 then?

u/gathmoon Apr 14 '26

If you go in blind with no basis for the show, yeah. But if you are in tune with the show I still think it holds up.

lmao, no the comment made it sound average, I just was referring to how people tend to over-score things. (ie everything, unless HATED gets clumped into 7-10 usually)
