Roger Ebert's review of "The Last Airbender" 

Wow. What a review right there. I guess I only thought the movie was ok because I don't look at the tiny things like how animation looks and stuff.

^^ It's not just animation. It has also to do with the acting, script, and plot, oh, and dialogue. The movie was pretty horrible in regards to all of those.

Yeah... I agree. M Night didn't do a good job at adapting this at all. But I don't blame the actors. They did as good of a job as they could have done. But by the end of the movie you aren't attached to any of the characters, like if one died all of a sudden you would say, who was that again?

The main problem with the movie unlike the series is that the writer took time to develope each character you can see the growth, of friendship, of learning, of who each character is eventually to become. I was wondering how he was going to fit about 8 hours of story line in 2 hours, impossible. If I were the original writers i would be pissed this was supposed to be akin to star wars or the matrix. Disappointing. And you want to know the worst part, M Knight really had the script already written for him. The opening wasnt that bad until GRAN GRAN started speaking - will not see part two although I doubt paramount will front the money for this flop.

I think he should have made the movie at LEAST 3 hours. its a 9 hour season, 3 hours isn't unreasonable.
