DVD Reviews of Avatar The Last Airbender - Book 2 Earth, Vol. 2

DVD Review: Best TV show ever!
Summary: 5 Stars

We love love love Avatar! We've been watching since my youngest was about 3. It's a show I never tire of, even though it's still on every day. Not in order though, so of course I had to buy it when I realized it was on DVD. My kids are now 6, 7 and 16 and still love it even though we've seen the episodes over and over. My husband and I will watch even after the kids go to bed, lol. It's always "just one more episode..." until we force ourselves to turn it off. Everyone I've suggested it to has totally fallen for it - I can't recommend it enough!

DVD Review: Fabulous
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought the other 4 volumes of Book 1 for $3 each at Wal-mart. When I couldn't find vol. 1, I was a little panicked until I remembered that Amazon has everything ;-) So, of course we all know that Avatar is a phenomenal tv series (If you don't know you better ask somebody!) I'm just grateful to have the first volume, which is where it all started, so that my Book 1 is complete. THANK YOU AMAZON.COM :-D

Very good video. Excellent choice not only for children, but for grown ups and couples. Can spend countless hours watching the video with your loved ones.

DVD Review: The boy in the iceberg
Summary: 4 Stars

Most western animation for children is, to put it simply, really wretched. At best, it's tolerable.

But a shining exception would be the tale of the Avatar of all four elements, and to restore the balance in the world. "Avatar The Last Airbender - Book 1 Water, Vol. 1" serves as a solid start to the series -- it smoothly introduces the characters and sets up some nice story arcs, without skimping on development of either.

South Pole Water Tribe siblings Katara and Sokka stumble across a glowing iceberg with a young Airbender boy named Aang (and his flying bison) inside. All Airbenders were killed long ago. You guessed it (and so does Katara): Aang is the Avatar who mysteriously vanished a century ago, even though he has yet to master Earth, Water and Fire. And, uh, he's a total goofball.

Unfortunately, a Fire Nation prince named Zuko has been wandering the world in search of Aang, and agrees to let the Water Tribe alone if Aang surrenders. Of course, Katara and Sokka set out to rescue their friend, and since Katara isn't experienced enough in waterbending to teach Aang, they set out for the North Pole to find a waterbending master.

But along the way they run into new problems -- first Aang returns to his old Temple and finds it in ruins, with all the Airbenders dead. Then the three visit Kyoshi Island, where the female warriors take exception to Sokka's sexism, and Aang starts getting a bit full of himself. Meanwhile, Zuko's quest is put in jeopardy when an arrogant general challenges him to a firebending duel.

The highest compliment I can pay "Avatar: The Last Airbender" is that it's like a thoroughly solid action/fantasy anime. Even though "Book 1, Water: Volume 1" is only the first few episodes of the series, it's pretty obvious that this is not a simple kid's show -- it's got good writing, excellent animation, and a general look rawn from Asian and Inuit cultures.

The first episode is a bit lackluster -- there's a bit too much of Aang goofing around, riding penguins and exploring old battleships, as well as some gross-out humor. But things tart gelling with the explosive fight scenes and grim confrontations of the second episode, especially since we really get to know the Prince Zuko there and get a glimpse of the Fire Nation' power.

And the whole quest-storyline has become nice and tight by the third and fourth episodes, even as our heroes stop for one-off stories. There's plenty of action and explosive fire-battles (particularly Zuko's brilliant battle with the sneering Zhao), but the writers never quite forget to include some comedy (riding the elephant koi) and character development.

And they do a good job with the characters -- Aang soon proves himself a kind and selfless kid, but still a kid. And we get to see some of his inner turmoil when he revisits his old home to find it a snowed-in, abandoned ruin, and his old master Monk Gyatso gone.

Katara and Sokka round out the cast, and are the required bickering siblings -- Katara is short-fused but sensible, and Sokka is rather swelled-headed although it's soon clear that he's courageous and means well. And though he's the antagonist, scarred teenager Zuko is excellent -- his quest obviously has deeper motives behind it, and he clearly isn't a bad person.

"Avatar The Last Airbendeer's" first volume is a fairly smooth introduction to a solid action/fantasy series, and a good setup to an outstanding show. A bit wobbly at first, but it quickly picks up steam.

DVD Review: Interesting
Summary: 4 Stars

Its not as good as volume 4 but it is pretty good. THere is not as much actions packed adventures as the other books. But is still good to watch

Description of Avatar The Last Airbender - Book 2 Earth, Vol. 2

Join Aang, Katara and Sokka on their journey to find Aang an earth bending teacher. Along the way they meet an incredible little blind girl who sees through Earthbending, fight off the treacherous princess Azula, find a hidden library where they discover that a solar eclipse can help them defend the fire nation, and save the world. All this while, the Sandbenders are stealing Appa!

The five chapters in Avatar the Last Airbender: Book 2 Earth, Volume 2 continue the story of young avatar Aang's adventures deep within the Earth Kingdom. As usual, each episode is a seamless blend of grave drama and comic relief, but the stakes seem higher than ever with the addition of a new member to Aang's team. Joining Katara and Sokka is Toph, a blind but powerful earthbending girl trying to obscure her aristocratic origins by defeating large, scary men in the ring. Aang recognizes Toph from his vision of an earthbending teacher, whom he needs to help him master control over the earth element. Toph also adds a kind of sardonic, tart tone to Aang's journey, ultimately leaving her world to join the series' trio of young heroes.

"The Blind Bandit" finds Aang, Katara, and Sokka working hard at convincing Toph to help their mission. "Zuko Alone" carries on the tale of the firebending prince who now travels alone and anonymously, but comes close to befriending a boy in an Earth Kingdom town. (The episode is full of interesting flashbacks from Zuko's youth.) "The Chase" also concerns Zuko's past, but is primarily about Aang, Katara, and Sokka adjusting to Toph's somewhat self-centered presence on the team at the same time Princess Azula is relentlessly hunting them all down in a kind of speeding tank. "Bitter Work" finds Toph having difficulties training Aang, while "The Library" is an exotic episode about a professor who leads the crew to a library containing information useful against the Fire Nation. When they get there, they find the place guarded by the owl-like Wan Shi Tong, who begins sinking the library in defense against the perceived invaders. --Tom Keogh
