The Last Airbender sucks? Really? Thought it was a pretty entertaining film though silly but it's a fantasy, after all... written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, adaptation of the Nickelodeon animated series. I guess with the raspberries, there won't be any sequel to this.
"Media pundits have suggested that M Night Shyamalan changed the race of key characters in The Last Airbender and/or gave Asian roles to Caucasian actors..."
"Dev Patel is the actual hero of the series, and he's Indian, OK?"
IMHO, the movie is good for its difference in being so culturally diverse and challenging accepted norms. And M. Night Shyamalan is a good writer and director who has the courage to challenge perceptions.
