Cast: Noah Ringer, Dev Patel
Director: M Night Shyamalan
M Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender is a shockingly bad movie, and easily the worst he's made so far, which is a scary thought for anyone who saw Lady in The Water.
A dreadful live-action adaptation of a popular animated TV series, The Last Airbender revolves around a 12-year-old savior kid named Aang (played by Noah Ringer) who's thawed out after spending nearly a hundred years buried under a glacier. Turns out he's the last in a line of airbenders, a race of people that can use air as a weapon, a race that has been wiped out by the firebenders.
Aang, incidentally, is also an avatar, meaning a 'chosen one' who is blessed with the power of bringing balance to the world. So now Aang must vanquish the firebenders who've turned their attention to the waterbenders; but first Aang himself must learn how to also bend water, earth and fire.
Confused? Well, wait till you watch the film! Bad acting, laughable dialogues, tacky special effects, and a plot that's convoluted to say the least.
The cast of this film includes Slumdog Millionaire's Dev Patel who keeps his nostrils flared and his eyebrows arched throughout most of his scenes as chief bad-guy Prince Zuko, who must hunt down Aang to win his firebender father's respect.
It's hard to say anything complimentary about this film because it's deathly boring, and because the 3D doesn't make it even marginally better. To be fair, the best way to watch this film is to watch it with your eyes shut.
I'm going with half out of five, yes just half out of five for M Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender. From The Sixth Sense to Nonsense, he's come a long way!
