Let's be realistic.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

For me it wasn't as bad as reviewed by many. I gave it a 6/10. Acting is decent, visually it isn't a master piece but still beautifull. The story is a bit of a high speed rambling but this is in general with movies based on cartoons. The editing in the beginning of the movie wasn't good. SFX were top! Remember this was the 19th most viewed movie of 2010 in theaters.. but also that could have been perhaps much better.

M. Night Shyamalan is well known for making films of the supernatural style and having unique twists in the plot. Films such as The Sixth Sense, The Village, Unbreakable and Signs where he draws upon the characters to drive his films. The plot of having those humans that can bend or draw upon Air, Water, Earth, Fire elements is unique and fantasy driven. I thought the fact of the Last Airbender had a traditional storyline of folklore and unique sense of good over evil. The CGI effects were very well placed in the film and the acting was NOT terrible. What strikes the audience is it is a completely different film for Shyamalan and many have found this off putting. I felt the mythology of the film found it's place with location, utilization of fighting sequences and storytelling. I liked the movie, it was unique, fun, an adventure/fantasy film for all ages. A solid 6 out of 10

Follows the adventures of Aang, a young successor to a long line of Avatars, who must master all four elements and stop the Fire Nation from enslaving the Water Tribes and the Earth Kingdom. I'm a big fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender and this cinematic movie based on the popular animated movie was alright to be honest. Now the acting was simply average and i was kind of disappointed with Zuko to be honest but as i said it was alright. The special effects were dazzling for sure and as a movie? It was average but kind of an entertaining guilty pleasure. (6/10)

This guy shouldn't direct anymore. Nickelodeon needs to redo the movie adaption and listen to the creators and fans on how it should be made. This was the most disappointing and frustrating movie to want to enjoy, but couldn't.
