Pass the Popcorn: The Last Airbender

M. Night Shyamalan is an awful director. It thought the main purpose of a director was to get a performance out of an actor that tells the best story. To find the great moments in a script and bring them to life on screen. Shyamalan can't do that.

When he's dealing with inexperienced actors, the performance are always flat and lifeless. He got lucky by having good actors in his first couple of flicks. But since then, he's continued to show us why he can't direct one lame performance after another.

Bottom line: The movie is okay for kids. But if you care about script, storyline, or decent performances, then don't bother.
