How many more chances is Hollywood going to keep giving Shyamalan? Seriously, enough is enough. Whatever he once had (and it wasn't much to begin with imo), it's gone.

Why have I been waiting for him to make a decent movie? He hasn't made one that I truly enjoyed since Signs and had been on a steady decline. The Village was decent. Lady in the Water was crap. I was still under his spell to the point I thought The Happening was worthwhile until my brother saw and pointed out my delusion.
I'm done.

Slight laugh out of the facebook responses so far:
"I hated it with the passion of a thousand suns."
"Attention FaceBook....The Last AirBender......a waste!"
"If you watched the show your gonna get mad at this movie. The director must die."
"Psa... Do not go see the last airbender! Oh and fuck you too m night!"
I dunno how M Night fucked it up THAT bad.

Damn, now I want to see this... And the only movie Ive liked from MNS is Unbreakable. Im still mad at the time I lost watching the Happening. I was home sick and watched it on HBO and Im pretty sure it made my flu worse.

The movie was worth making just for the laughs I am getting reading the critic comments on RT....blistering is too mild a word for some of them.

Ebert on Twitter:
ebertchicago - "The Last Airbender" is an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented. http://j.mp/9xFzbu

I'm just shocked by this film, the reviews are horrifying.
Capone from Aintitcoolnews, who has decent taste, says this about the film, even if you take aside the shitty 3D & just focus on the film itself. . .
"That said, nothing on heaven or earth could have saved THE LAST AIRBENDER from spiraling out of control and making it certainly the worst film I've seen all year so far, and an early candidate for the worst film of the decade."
The really sad part is, the defenders of this hack director will still go on to say how the audience misinterpreted his brilliant vision of the film.

There is no way this is worse than The Happening, i'd watch the trailer for this for an hour before sitting through that movie again

He hasn't come up with the "right" story yet; if this happens it'll be far in the future. Here's the latest:
"I just have to think of the right story. If I think of the right story and by that I mean something that resonates with me right now, you know, at my age and where I am and what movie I've come off of if I can do that, then I'll get really excited and I'll write a draft and I'll go beg Disney for us to be able to make it."

I saw the midnight showing last night in 3D
THIS WAS THE WORST MOVIE I'VE SEEN IN A VERY LONG TIME. PERIOD.
Sorry about the caps, but I had to emphasize that. The 3D was pure garbage too.

I've seen some episodes but it hasn't interested me much. The backstory and the world is interesting, the execution on the episodes I saw was average. Dialogue was average kids fare too. I did have interest in the film though.

Re: The Last Airbender (Shyamalan, 2010) The other Avatar movie
Let me just say i NEVER POST IN THESE BOARDS..and prob never will again...but TLA live-action was God-awful. This coming from the guy who half-way enjoyed Mortal Kombat 2, Spawn, and Dragon Ball live-action. The acting in it is so bad, there were actually moments where i cringed and sunk down in my seat embarassed to be in the theater with everyone else (a whopping 10 people total). Let me also say the animated series is nothing short of incredible. I got the 1st season during a price mistake in BBy's ad and PM'd to Circuit City to get it for $3.50. I put off watching it for about a year 1/2, then got bored and it was the only thing i was interested in watching. I finished the whole first season in one sitting. Paid full price for the next 2 seasons with no regret. Have watched it 3 times through and still think it's one of the top 10 greatest animated shows ever made. So even as a fan the movie was awful. I have lost all confidence in M. night and seriously hope they fire him from directing forever (and hopefully find a new director for Avatar). I hope even M. Night's kids hate him for the terrible job he did directing TLA.
