The Last Airbender Review

So here we go, my review of The Last Airbender. Where do I start with this thing? I mean this movie was awful, worst movie of the year and is an early favorite for the worst movie of the decade. M. Knight Shamalayan latest work destroys the last bit of credibility that he had. I review this movie from two perspectives: One being from a movie standpoint as if the avatar series never existed and also as an adaption so you can really understand how bad the film is.

So lets start with it being a movie just on it's own. The only good thing about this is that the film had decent special effects but then there's everything else. The acting is some of the worst I have ever saw. The characters have no emotion and the dialogue is just simple to say the least. It was like they were reading the lines off a TelePrompter: I am the avatar. Noah Ringer is a sure shot to get the Razzie this year. The plot doesn't make sense at all, the transitions are awful. You start out at one place and for some reason end up some were else. In this movie stuff just happens to be happening. There's no real reason behind why any of this is happening at all. The fight scenes are also boring using slow motion throughout ever single fight. I mean what is this 1999. I mean it was cool in the Matrix but even the Wachowski Brothers knew not to do it in every action sequence.

As an adaption this movie still sucks. The first problem is that M. Knight whitewashed all the protagonist main characters. For those who don't know Avatar: The Last Airbender is based off of the Asian culture with all the characters being Asian or Inuit. M. Knight also made all the antagonists minorities which really upset me because he playing at that whites are the saviors and minorities are going to destroy the world. Another problem is that he pronounce all of the characters names wrong. The movie also wasn't long enough to contain all the material of the first season of avatar. Main characters that were important to the storyline were missing also. M. Knight also narrated relationships between characters.
I give this movie a score of 1 out of 10.

For those of you who still want to see it keep this in mind: M. Knight Shamalayan is like a Cassidy Album, he gets you all hyped up cause he's a hustler but when you here it your like what the fuck is this.

R.I.P. Avatar: The Last Airbender in memory of the good times.
