Terrible do not see this movie, I have no experience with the series but it would only serve to infuriate me further. ITS GARBAGE. It demands me not to think.


EDIT: To put my disgust in better words, my girlfriend forced me to go see Twilight Eclipse the day before, and I'd would have rather watched Twilight again than this movie.

Okay Dragonball Z was actually terrible in a funny way, so I don't regret going to see that (especially since 5 friends and I were the only ones in that tiny movie theater and we were laughing obnoxiously and laying in the aisles and whatnot). The Last Airbender, though.....

I don't get how this ruins the whole series for you guys. Just act like you didn't see the damn movie, and even if you did its probably nothing even similar to the series, like most movies about popular tv series that are made to movies.

It's not that it ruined the series for us, it's that we love this series so very much, and the epicness that should have been the first movie....well let me put it like this:

Imagine you're reading Harry Potter, and the Seventh Book rolls around, the anticipation in the air is palpable as you slowly leaf through the opening pages and get read to feast on the "IT" of what you've been waiting for for nearly a decade; the culmination, the climax, the coup de grace. However, instead of words, there's just a massive shit. Hot, slightly moist, and steaming, sitting smack dab in the middle of where the first chapter should be. That's how we feel.


Okay, when you put it that way I can see why you feel that way :p

LOL @ critic response.

The current national priorities should be as follows: reduce carbon emissions and stop funding the films of M. Night Shyamalan.


It's rare to see a film so choppily edited, poorly scripted and spastically directed that you can barely understand what you're watching.


Please, Hollywood, if there's to be another Airbender movie, hand the job to some efficient hack, and not to a once mesmerizing artist who's lost his way.

Aw, sucks to hear that you didn't like this movie. I actually considered going to see it, which in itself is quite astonishing, since I swore to never see another M. Night movie again after watching The Village at the theater. Which is funny because it was the first, and most likely now last, movie of his I ever saw.

Oh well, at least now I'll save $13.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is probably my favorite TV show of all time. Too bad they never made a movie out of it.

Until I heard of this movie I had not even heard of the story whatsoever. I haven't seen it so I can't say either way. But with Shyamalan as director I'm sure there is a massive blunder and plenty of plot holes all over the place.

After the first preview, I thought the movie was targeted to 9-12 year olds.

I guess it might be one of those movies that's so bad it's good. The kind you watch with your friends at drunken parties.

just to give a better picture of how bad that is.

There have been 77 reviews. 6% means that only five reviewers have a positive review of the movie. Only five out of 77.

The series is one of my all time favourite shows and this is extremely disappointing. I'm really sick of these cashed up corporate assholes who aren't fans in any way ruining the shit out of my favourite intellectual properties to make a quick buck. First it was michael bay with transformers, now this bullshit with avatar. What next? By the looks of it: starcraft, warcraft and diablo will be the next ones to go at the hands of Activision's execs.

"The Last Airbender" review by Ebert: "Let's hope it is". lol

He particularly didn't like the character changes from the original series. Will skip this movie. Would rather watch Inception.

I have no interest in seeing this movie at all, but it's not surprising it got panned. Shyamalan was terrible other than the sixth sense, and that was only probably because Bruce Fucking Willis was in it.

I have no idea how faithful the movie is to the series or if child actors were even necessary, but they certainly didn't help the cause. However I usually take that with a grain of salt as most children actors are terrible. What I couldn't ignore was M. Night's storytelling failure.

+ Show Spoiler +
Again, without knowing anything about the series, several of the scenes seemed unimportant to the main story of the Airbender. The ice princess romance seemed forced and she was such a new character that the audience had no time to emotionally invest in her. When she died I didn't care one way or the other.


I used to like M. Night, but he seems to be digging a deeper and deeper hole.

I haven't watched many M. Night movies, but I thought Unbreakable was pretty good with its great cast of Jackson and Willis. The Village was an interesting watch as well, but they probably shouldn't have advertised it as a horror movie and attracted the swarms of teens that were expecting a modern day gore fest.

Btw, can you explain what you actually thought about the movie "sucked?" Honestly, I'm not going to watch it either way (never even heard of it before the movie came out), but it just feels like you're telling us to dismiss it as a shitty movie.
