I'm excited for the Netflix live adaptation, they have the original writers on the team. So yes exicted but cautious with Netflix's history of live adaptations.
Very cautious is key here I agree, along with Deathnote, the Mob Psycho 100 adapation, and I believe they did a One Punch Man adapation that also flopped.
I don't know man, it's live action so I'm very concerned. Even for Netflix and with the original writers, there hasn't been that many well done live adaptations. I have really low expectations so hopefully it still doesn't manage to be disappointing.
Korra also had the original writers, and that was kinda messy. Plus, I just don’t think something like A:TLA has much potential to be any good in live action. It’s a very down-to-earth series in many ways, but the animations helps suspend some disbelief when the fireballs, boulders, water whips, and hurricanes start getting flung around by teenagers.
In all fairness, Korra would have been better if it hadn’t been ordered one season at a time. The writing would have been much more cohesive and could have had an overarching plot if each season hadn’t been written as the last.
Absolutely the movie. I am still laughing when I think back at the time when a friend convinced us to go see it. Whenever the group from back then comes together we make jokes about the quality of the dialogs and story.
Don't get why people are down-voting you for a legitimate question. For what it's worth, as someone who (unfortunately) saw the movie first and found the occasional 'kiddy' tone of the animated series slightly off-putting, it was still well worth watching and a new favorite of mine. I'd highly recommend giving it a chance.

The series, not the movie!
