The Last Airbender


I was never a fan of the cartoons so I had no idea what this movie was all about. Based on the trailer, it was about the four elements and only once person, the Avatar, could master all four. Nope, I'm not talking about the blue monkey people from Pandora.

All of the reviews I saw were negative. Rotten tomatoes gave it a dismal 8%, I think. Anyway, I decided not to watch this on the big screen so I settled for the DVD. Definitely it was not yet a clear copy but it was decent enough.

My thoughts? Hmmm. Typical Bobo movie. Its that type of movie wherein you wouldn't need your brains to understand the movie. It was predictable, direct and downright crappy, in a way. The story was so-so. Nothing new there and predictable. Oh, did I say predictable? LOL

The effects were fine, fancy but the usual. The costumes, hmmm, steady. The set design, OK. Overall, it was a bad film. M. Night Shyamalan sure wasted big bucks. He could have done a better job. They said that this movie was an eye-candy because of the effects, but I beg to disagree.

The only thing that surprised me was Jackson Rathbone aka Sokka aka Jasper Hale from the Twilight Saga. He looked really nice in this movie. Such a big difference from his pale self in Twilight.

Don't bother watching this and spending a good 200 bucks. You might as well eat out or save up for a better movie. Just wait for the DVD. Way cheaper.
