The Last Airbender…

…sucks. Sorry, as much as I wanted to like it I couldn’t. It’s not the actors. They do the best they can with the material they’ve been given. It’s not the story. The original material, Avatar: the Last Airbender, rocks. The problem is that M. Night Shyamalan, the writer and director can’t adapt that original material into a watchable movie. When you have to have narration to transition from scene to scene something’s wrong. It’s a visual medium. Show me, don’t tell me. There was also energy and humor in the original that ain’t in this version. It’s boring. I’d really like to see a live action version of Avatar, just not this one.
