Critics Consensus

The Last Airbender squanders its popular source material with incomprehensible plotting, horrible acting, and detached joyless direction.

Bososkey

This is below all else, the worst movie I have ever seen. They butchered avatar so hard it's only recognisable because of the visuals presented in the film, not that those were good. The acting was horrible, The pacing was just.. sad, it made no sense in-universe, the dialogue was terribly written and HOO boy the choreography I could go on for hours on everything wrong with this film. earthbenders being imprisoned.. on earth. "my name is Ong, and I'm the Ovatar." need I say more?

Am i the only one who liked this movie? Ok, Aang said his name wrong ('Ong') and the casting is mid but the movie itself is actually fire. Actually, i wanted for this movie to get a sequel and third but the reviews where poor, so it got canceled.

This movie couldn't even get the pronunciation of the main character's name right. Go rewatch the show instead.

This was by far the worst film I have ever suffered through in my life. I'll never comprehend how it was ever approved. I want the two hours of my life back.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

A quite breathtakingly inept hodge-podge of vapid spirituality, playground chopsocky and visual effects that take 3D to an entirely new level: Zero-D.

The Age (Australia)

This empty, misfired epic from M. Night Shyamalan is boring and strengthens the claim that he is the worst director working in mainstream cinema today.

Deep Focus Review

The Last Airbender plays like it should be the work of a low-grade hack with little-to-no experience behind the camera, but instead, it’s by a director who not so long ago was praised as one of today’s finest new storytellers.

Rated: 1/4

Time was, the endings of M.Night Shyamalan films were always the biggest mystery. Now, the only mystery remaining is how, in a recession, he continues to get studios to fund his films.
