Actually, there was a reason for them to pronounce it differently. The director wanted to broaden the cultural differences between the different types of bending and their countries. That way instead of everything being in an American accent and looking to be focused around one country, the accents were different and it was broadened to surround the whole world. The names were pronounced differently for each different country, i.e. aang with a short A or Sokka being pronounced Sooka. Other differences were made as well, such as the writing style of each country.

But I do partially agree with my fellow Avatar fans, the movie was not as good as it could have been. M. Knight could have done a lot better.
