Written by M. Night Shyamalan
Directed by M. Night Shyamalan
Plot:
In a mythical world where humans have the ability to “bend” certain elements, the evil Firebenders are out to dominate the world and destroy the god Avatar for good. It is up to a young boy who is the last of the Airbenders to fulfill his destiny as the Avatar and stop them.
Thoughts:
Wow. Seriously? It’s come to this?
How can someone direct a child so wonderfully in a film like The Sixth Sense and then do so terribly in an epic action like Airbender?
What happened? How did it happen? Why did it happen? ANSWERS!
Learned:
You can have great production visuals or great acting, but apparently it is extremely difficult to have both. And sometimes, the acting is non-existent when there are too many visuals.
This green-screen acting thing needs to go.
See, Rent, Own, Kill:
Rent (strictly for the spectacle) and then Kill.

Eric, did you ever see the original series on Nickelodeon? It's a MUST watch. Excellent writing, wonderful characters, compelling and interesting plot(s). My husband and I are in love with the show-- we watched all of it in an obsessive streak of about two weeks.
We haven't seen the film directed Shama-suck, and we don't plan to. It would RUIN, what was arguably one of the best shows on television in quite some time.
Please watch the cartoon series as it is awesome.
Please don't watch the movie ever (why would you do that).
You will be happy to know that I am going to watch the series (thank you Netflix!)
I LOOOOVE Shyamalan. I'm just really disappointed in him right now. I will keep the faith though. I plan to watch anything he makes, no matter how crappy.
