Hey kids. Relatively new here so I figured I would chime in on this flick. I've never seen the animated series, but I had the urge to pay 8 of my hard earned dollars to see if Night could pull out another "masterpiece". While Unbreakable and The Sixth Sense were the only two movies of his that actually impressed me as a whole, I figured that his recent run of crap just couldn't continue (Happening, Lady in the Water, Village). While his efforts were ambitious, I took absolutely nothing positive away from my experience. The performances from the kids were dreadful, the set pieces looked cheesy, the special effects were nothing special, and I swear the 3D element added absolutely nothing to the experiences. While I could see where fans would want to see the story completed on the big screen, I see the only possible way of doing so would be to get the franchise out of Night's hands. He has clearly lost "something" and I hope he finds it again because he USED to be able to wow audiences....sadly that was 10 years ago.

Anyways...rambling on....Jeritron, the marketing budget alone for this movie is $130 million. So put The Last Airbender $160 million short of breaking even. Not a good sign for a sequel.
