You can fuck up your career with your own stupid ideas all you like, Mr. M Night Shyamalan, but for the love of God please don't ever destroy somebody else’s story.
The Last Airbender had so much potential to be a great trilogy of family films but Shyamalan has royally fucked this up on a quite grand scale (although this should come as little surprise to anyone who has been following his career of late). There was not a single competent element here and I fear a lot of people unfamiliar with the original series will probably blame the source material as much as the woefully poor execution.
Firstly, it looks unbelievably cheap almost bordering…

• “oh boyy you know it’s good if nickelodeon made a live action movie with its logo”
• “i can i hear we don’t those words in that lame ass font”
• “sokka gives me greasy white boi vibes and its not good”
• “aapa looks like if you pasted a tele tubbie onto a soggy piece of white bread”
• “why are there so many white people”
• “if you’re gonna whitewash the entire cast at least have the decency to cast danny devito as uncle iroh. bish instead we get some customer at a department store who only uses debit cards”

Listen, I get it. This is probably (most definitely) atrocious as adaptation. Even as someone who hasn't seen the original show, its plotting is frequently rushed and the representation issues of the main players is tough to stomach. There's no getting around its stilted mannerisms or over-reliance of digitality, but it's also a Shyamalan movie, so exactly none of that matters to me. What is so satisfying is, instead, The Last Airbender's preoccupation with nature, in addition to the graceful form of its inspirations, including Tsui Hark and Zhang Yimou, that rise above its clunky details. Shyamalan's surroundings in literal elements provides a basis in carefully-designed frames, action/dance sequences, and delicate blocking. Many of the sets are rooted in…
About halfway through the movie, my friend commented “I feel like things are just happening on a screen in front of me” and that was probably the best diagnosis of the disaster.
People often mock the acting and voiceover and cringeworthy action in this movie - and yes, it’s horrific. Not only that, but it’s straight-up uncomfortable. I feel so bad for Noah Ringer, but man...watching this dude on a big screen is like watching the awkward kid in your middle school class give a presentation on his favorite Pokémon. It makes you want to bite your lip and curl into a ball. Also: why are all the action scenes so entirely devoid of tension? In the show, bending is like…
2010 Ranked 👎🏼
I just finished the greatest animated show of all time for the first time! After I finished the show, I thought to myself, "how bad could the movie actually be?". I regret saying those words and turning on the movie. I couldn't even finish the movie. It fails on every level, and it is perhaps THE worst movie I've ever seen. Steer clear of this one guys; it's just so SO bad. They get EVERYTHING WRONG.
Whoa, I think I’ve been hitting the cactus juice again...
One of the greatest cinematic achievements ever conceived, The Last Airbender is an outstanding adaptation of the original show thanks to M. Night Shyamalan’s brilliant direction. Along with stunning performances, a deep and powerful emotional story, spectacular action scenes and some of the most breathtaking visuals I’ve ever seen put to film. This movie does such perfect justice to its source material while still managing to break new ground in so many ways that it's all just astounding to behold. A masterpiece in every sense of the word. How can anyone not praise this sensational work of art?

Look, set aside how little justice it does to the TV show (why does Sokka never make a joke?!) because even if all those surface-level details matched perfectly with the original, this film is utterly broken. Something must have gone disastrously wrong early on in the development of this film, and it wormed and rotted its way right down every tier of production.
mum: oh this movie is good. i think you’ll like it since it’s something you would watch.
me: uh... ok?
*after 103 minutes*
me: no
Yes that definitely looks like someone named Sokka. Oh sorry, sOHkka.
This is the most baffling movie ever made
