weird, but fun

All I can say without giving too much away is that Storm Riders is what The Last Airbender could have been... In fact, much of what the characters do is what is seen in the Airbender cartoon series. One character can even manipulate water and use it like a weapon. The movie starts out like many other kung-fu vengeance/justice flicks, but it takes a crazy turn with two characters engaging in a midair sword fight which ultimately involves the villain firing a hail of energy bolts from his weapon. I liked the movie despite the fact that too many plot threads were left hanging in the end. Still, Storm Riders is goofy fun so long as you don't take it too seriously...
