Cool movie...it's not the Karate Kid...

by peterson.troyd

Definitely good kung fu performed in this movie. Interesting methodology described from the story. There most definitely needs to be a sequel (or two) to make sense of the movie for the average...

The Last Airbender Movie Review

by Asianfreak

12 out of 100 I've loved the series but the movie is at total waste of time. It's is hella boring. Even though it is action-packed but it's so dull you'll fall asleep in the first 5 minutes....

Completely harmless and inoffensive, and at the very least, Shyamalan appears to be having a little fun here. Read full review

Philadelphia Inquirer
| Carrie Rickey

Unfortunately, this all proceeds at a supersonic tempo, with Shyamalan's directorial finger stuck on the fast-forward button. Significant plot points whiz by in this movie equivalent of speed-dating. Read full review

The story is a much more serious problem, a run-on, overstuffed narrative that feels like a very long prologue for a climax that never comes. Read full review
