Reviews Film / The Last Airbender

I forgive you, and applogize Michael Bay. I was wrong.

When MB Transformers came out I really hated it. I hated him. I thought he truly bastardized the series. Racist character archetypes, mediocre dialogue, to many humans, not enough actual transformers, those were just some of my complaints. Transformers 2 was even worse on almost every other front as well. More racist, worse dialogue, really juvenile humour. The only thing was the balance of transformer Vs. human characters was much more appropriate. Regardless of that, it still cemented my hated of this man.

Boy did the Last Air Bender show me how simpleminded I was being. How ignorant I was about how much worse everything could be.

The last Air bender is by far the second worst film I've ever seen. Here is a point form list of a few things I've seen that is horribly wrong with it:

• Basically no bending in the entire fucking film.
• Terrible, terrible acting. Not surprising since the kid hired for the lead role in the movie has quite literally never acted before. Seriously. No b-list movies. No theater. No commercials. No training. Nothing.
• The camera work was amateurish.
• The action scenes you could literally fall asleep watching.
• So much fucking exposition. Hey asshole, centuries ago someone invented a little thing called a "flashback". Ever consider trying it?
• Horrible, horrible dialogue. We know you went to the library and learned about a fish. We heard you the first six times. We get it. STFU already.

I could go on, but I don't have the heart to. Suffice to say, this is movie is the second worst I've seen in my entire life. The first is Enemy Mine. It's a close race though.
