Devil’s DVD Disappointment: The Last Airbender

In order to write a fully realized review of M. Night Shyamalan’s latest  film, I would have to think very carefully about it.  I honestly do not wish to think about it at all, (uh oh…am I wearing my opinion on my sleeve again?) but I shall try my best.  Let me put on my half cocked, bush league critic’s hat for just a moment.  Ignoring all of the hypercritical, fanboyish nuances that go along with being a devotee of the television series, I’d like to talk simply about where the film went wrong.

The Last Airbender Trailer

I know nothing of the franchise.  I’ve never watched the cartoon.  I own none of the toys.  Somehow, though, I am excited for this film.  I think it really boils down to one thing.  Shyamalan is a great director, who has relied on his own material for far too long.  Finally, he is working with an already existing concept, and writers who aren’t concerned with “how am I going to surprise my audience next?”   With his directorial vision and the right script (yes he has a writing credit on the film, but it isn’t his script) this film could be remarkable.  Check out the teaser trailer and judge for yourself:
