Unfortunate… I may still see the movie (although I have no interest in 3D, period) as I loved the TV show, but I’m a bit reticent now. And I also wonder something else. Has Shyamalan lost his golden touch? I had high hopes for this movie, both for Mr. S and the movie itself. Apparently this one is going to be hope deferred.
Sad, so sad…

As “The Last Airbender” bores and alienates its audiences, consider the opportunities missed here. (1) This material should have become an A-list animated film. (2) It was a blunder jumping aboard the 3D bandwagon with phony 3D retro-fitted to a 2D film. (3) If it had to be live action, better special effects artists should have been found. It’s not as if films like “2012” and “Knowing” didn’t contain “real life” illusions as spectacular as anything called for in “The Last Airbender.”
