The Last Airbender Review
Other than The Last Airbender, it’s hard to think of another movie that conveys so much urgency in every line of dialogue and yet goes absolutely nowhere. M. Night Shyamalan, fighting to reclaim his commercial viability, wrote, produced and directed this live-action adaptation of the hit Nickelodeon animated series, and while he successfully condensed an entire season into one feature-length film, he did so by packing it with only exposition, leaving no room for characters, story, or anything else. A soul-crushing disaster made worse by unnecessary, counterproductive 3-D, The Last Airbender fails to immediately qualify as the worst film of the summer only by virtue of the year’s abundance of other candidates…read more [Cinematical]
The good news for those eagerly anticipating this live-action, big budget adaptation of the Nickelodeon anime series is that the 3D isn’t horrible. The bad news? Just about everything else is. Fans of the series may appreciate The Last Airbender’s faithful adaptation of the series’ first season (at least in terms of plot; less with its white-washed casting), but laborious storytelling and clumsy performances drag it down. Waaaay down. Helmer M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Signs) ably manipulates the technical elements to create a fantasy world with scope and cool effects, but he seems to have spent too much time crafting CGI balls of water and not enough writing a passable script. Worse, he fails to keep his cast from drowning in a sea of cheesy, ham-fisted dialogue, instead leaving his actors to suffer valiantly on-screen and us to watch helpless as they bravely tai chi their way to the end. The Last Airbender may not be the worst film of the summer (that honor remains with Jonah Hex), but it’s certainly the biggest disappointment…read more [Movies.com]
