  • who is that over guy?

  • they hate it amd they didn't even say how it butchered the lore.

  • @schmoesknow you guys are right, this was the worst movie I've ever seen! However, you guys need to watch the show on netflix even if you don't like cartoons. Ive seen many different cartoons, but Avatar the Last Airbender has to have one of the deepest story lines in the history of American animation and if you don't believe me read the reviews.

  • The Last Airbender:

    One of the best cartoons ever made.

    One of the worst movies ever made.

    :'(

  • What I don't get is why would nickelodeon help destroy their best series reputation?

  • 4:08 ...lol

  • i have to agree because i thought the movie really stunk and it doesnt show things from the series. the cartoon series are better.

  • I've watched so many reviews, and by the looks of it, it's probably a really good thing I didn't go see it...even from the previews I wanted to go into a corner, bawl my eyes out, bang my head into a wall for ten minutes, scream for ten more, and sleep for a month. Ah, well. I'll just stick to the animated series...and to all of you who have only seen the movie: WATCH THE SERIES. It's the best thing that has ever happened to cartoons. Seriously. I actually have every book saved on Netflix.

  • I cried when I saw it. WORST FUCKING MOVIE EVER! Oh well the next series about the next airbender (a female earthbender) is coming out next year. That's what im looking forward too. I really hope they dont make up it as a movie cause lets face it they'll fuck that up too..

  • Omg thank you! M.Night Shymamalan is the worst human being in Entertainment. I want to punch him in both eyes.

  • Oh god this movie was so horrible it wasn't funny!!! what the fuck was with the new characters? why was Zuko Mexican? and wheres his scar?? whats with "hong'? its Aang!!! and he never smiled in the hole movie he just mad dogged everyone!!! and like they said the acting made me want to break something!!!

  • As animated series go, avatar the last airbender and hey arnold! are my favorites by far. I was stoned off my ass while watching and still couldn't finish this flaming piece of shit of a movie. So disappointed, fuck m night shyamalan. Agree with every word you say about this terrible director he should just stop making movies.

  • 240p ...........we meet again

  • this movie sucked so BAD!!!! seriously they brought shame to the real Avatar the Last Airbender. the cartoon is so good don't let yourself be influenced by this horrible movie!

  • I actually liked the Village. The movie was boring, but had a good twist. Signs was eh, so-so, and everything after blows ass! I still haven't forgiven him for "The Happening," Marky Mark deserves better.

  • got this on DvD as a freebie when I rented Rio last week, and wow couldn't get past the first 10min of it, I turned it off and came on youtube to write this! It's a big fart in the face for anyone who has seen the cartoon version of it.

  • @XIIIEvangelion I would hardly call this an artistic adaptation. He failed to capture the essence of this series and demonstrated no pov throughout thecfilm - it's like a made-for-tv series...

  • To be fair, I loved the film ! A lot of people complain about the differences between the show and the movie, but they forget that it's an adaptation, you have to take liberties from the original product, Shyamalan did this to show is own vision of the show, also Tim Burton's Batman was different, X-men was different, Jurrasic Park was different from the original book, The Hunchback Of Notre Dame (Disney version) was really different from the book but they all were great films.

  • M.Night wants to make another one but the movie company is still thinking about it

  • 4:50 I felt the same way

  • Shymalan awful? I would say he's mediocre. The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and yes, Signs are all great. The rest of his movies are crap.

  • Best review ever!! haha,couldn't stop laughing!

  • m.night rated this dislike 21 times

  • I just love how you guys invite random people on your show every few episodes.

  • Im Probably A Lil Late But... FUCK THIS MOVIE AND EVER THING IT STAND FOR AND FUCK SHYMULAN OR WHATEVER THE FUCK HIS FUCKING NAME IS... This Guy Fucked Up A Great Show, All He Had To Do Was Take The Script Straight Out The Show I Still Woulda Watchd It... Also... THIS MUTHAFUCKER CUT OUT HALF THE FUCKIN SHOW WTF... And The Part Of The Movie That I Thought Was Gonna Be the Best Part Which Is When He Turns Into Some Giant Ocean Toad And Kills Everybody... SUCKED ASS ALL HE DID WAS A MAKE A TSUNAM

  • Of course animated series fans would be dissapointed. it's just like reading a book. Of course the movie will dissapoint you, unless of course you're the director. It'll never please your glorious imagination! This film deserves well needed closure. Plus if they can make 10 harry freekin potters. They have to be able to push this at least as a trilogy. As it was intended.

  • yes M. Night Shamalamadingdong blows. But this was surely his best film. You guys are tools for criticizing kids acting 1 and 2 for seeing it in 3D! Of course the acting would be a lil weak, the actors need to be the cheapest part of a long shot production. And If it's get a good enough turn around, then you pull out all the stops. Milla Jovovich already wants in! I loved this movie! And yes i haven't seen the animated series. and i'm glad for maybe this movie would have upset me too.

  • @LaFmAn9 You can't just excuse the bad acting in this movie. The main actors (Noah Ringer, Nicola Peltz, and Jackson Rathbone) are 14, 16, and 26 years old respectively. Think of the "Harry Potter" movies. The three main actors in "Sorcerer's Stone" were far younger than the ones in "The Last Airbender", yet they did a FAR BETTER job.

  • @LaFmAn9 it's not even just a fan thing, logically you try to make Epics, which is what this is suppose to be, longer then 90 mins.

  • Putting "Marlon Brando" in the same sentence as "Taylor Lautner" is an insult to Marlon Brando.

  • i'm seriously sticking to this. the director ruined.. scratch that FUCKED UP (because that's how bad this piece of hot shit movie was) 3 seasons worth of avatar the last airbender in just a hour and 45 minutes... or however the fuck long it was... i almost cried in disappointment and had to re watch the animated series just to feel better.

  • the cartoon is the best thing ever. The movie is the worst thing ever.

  • Haha funny shit this review alone made me sub. Feel the same way about m night shitty and the movie.

  • the six sense is the only movie i like from him.

  • it takes them forever to bend the elements, too much dancing around

  • you cant even see this movie "for the special effects" that they conveniently hide behind a building or pan behind a wall so their editors can be lazy bastards.

    this is an all around piece of shit

  • The cartoon was actually really great!

    THIS however was the WORST FUCKING MOVIE EVER FUCKING MADE.

  • @RenoGregory Dragon Ball Evolution is FAR WORSE

  • @domo641 it's a close tie, both made me die a little inside lol

  • @101locachica I died a little inside when my Dad told me he thought Dragonball Evolution was "not bad".

  • Movie was outrageous. The cartoon was incredible. You've got magical karate based around the elements. The underdog heroes vs. the harsh militaristic evil Fire Nation. How can that be a bad thing? Shyamalan is how I guess. This is the first movie I've ever watched (including The Phantom Menace) where i could tell something was irreparably wrong after only 2 minutes. This movie makes me question my instincts on whether or not I can tell what's going to be a good or bad movie now.

  • There are going to be more. haha. Watch the cartoon. It makes the live action that much WORSE!

  • I never knew that Indians were East Asian.

  • It truly saddens me that the creators of Avatar had to get so vigorously raped by M. Night's big ego. Like everyone else said go see the cartoon, the best cartoon from USA in recent memory, if you want your expectations of this movie to be fulfilled.

  • They didnt even say Aangs name right. They called him Ong. WHU DA FAQ IZ ONG?! GIVE US AANG BACK!!!

  • This just made laugh like crzy watching this review. Thank God I didn't see it.

  • "Wall Street - Money Never Sleeps (2010)" was the shittiest film i saw in 2010... then Airbender and after that Tron Legacy.

  • What's the sequel gonna be called? "Nah, for real this is the last airbender" or "One more airbender for the road"

  • i had such hopes for the live action because the cartoon is AMAZING!! everything was awesome about it but this.....i swear george lucas or steven speilberg would have done a phenomenal job than shyamalan. this movie was a huge disappointment to all avatar last airbender fans.

  • Avatar is not anime. Its just made to look like that.

  • guys i promise that the animated series is WORLDS better i wanted to cry when i saw this.

  • @RaynMu You wanted to cry, I was tempted to literally rip my seat off in rage!

  • @RaynMu agreed I cried when i watch the movie. I was so wrong on so many levels. Dont know what that guy was thinking.

  • watching that fucking movie mad me sick to my stomach. Its such a disrespect to the tv show. After the first 10 min i turned it off and put on the cartoon.

  • I HAD TO WATCH THIS!

  • have you guys seen the cartoon series? Cause its awesome. too bad i guess i wont be seeing the movie

  • these guys are funny

  • i saw it.....i'm not a air bender cartoon fan....even though i'm not a fan of the cartoon i still check for the relevant part in the movie..sadly, like the schmoes said. it sux.....almost every one got the main characters name wrong (kinda like how they switched up DR.tenma with nicolas cage in astro boy)..over all it sucked.

  • 5:50- till end WAS HILARIOUS!!!!

  • 6:00 - end of video WAS HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!

  • SHA-LAA, SHA-LAA, SHA-LALALALA, SHA-LAY-BABY-MAN.

  • I'm getting the DVD to see why everyone hate it and then if I hate it I'll make a rant!

  • they tryed to zip a 30+ hr cartoon in to a 2hr>movi

  • A part of knew this was going to suck. I mean, its not that often they take a cartoon/video game/tv show , make a live action movie of it, and its actually good. Look at DB Evolution and Street fighter (both) and many others. The only good ones (or at least tolerable) I can think of are Silent Hill (loved this movie), the first 2 RE movies, Mortal Kombat (guilty pleasure), and Garfield (another guilty pleasure).,

  • i've seen so many reviews of this shit-hole....that i now wanna watch it, and this is coming from a girl who refused to even aknowledge the making of this film since she's heard about it

  • this movie made me want to find m. night and with all the power i have kick him as hard as i could in the balls because that is what he did to ATLA

  • was it that bad.. i mean i haven't watch it, yet... I'm actually curious...I wonder how bad it really is...I've watched the actual series...so i want to compare if they were faithful to the series...

  • @akamanolo doooont watch it i am i fan and i saw it this movie was awful and i went in with low expetations i mean i was face palming myself every five minutes i was the wort movie ive every scene it was worst the the easter island players play seriously do not watch this movie

  • @summylove001 I wonder. and I'm serious about this.. can the fans of Avatar: The Last Air Bender, demand a re-shoot on this film.. i ask this to two co-workers and they say that it was possible... But I'm not really sure. Do you thinks is possible? And if it is possible it would be a good idea to organize like a petition demanding for re-shoot... that would be nice.

  • @akamanolo NOOO for gods sake don't watch it don't even download it illegally off a site or something! Stay the fuck away. I'm serious DEAD serious save your mental health. Watch the whole show again like I do now just stay away from the movie.

    Short version: Everything that was in the show like characters particular scenes etc well in the movie every sinlge thing from that show is an abomination. It'll piss you off like hell trust me.

  • @Urgiapain So I guess "what the fire nation did to the air nation is what M. Night Shyamalan did too the movie"

  • Comment removed

  • @akamanolo Nope at least the fire nation killed them all fast.Shyamalan raped it humiliated it showed that raping and humiliation to the public and then he killed it.It went almost like jumping the shark, coming back shooting it in the balls, raping it, eating it's flesh consuming it's soul, mounting it's head on the wall and then doing the same things to 12 more fucking sharks just to be safe.It even got so many awards for worst director worst plot worst story worst actors and actresses etc...

  • @akamanolo i sware, it was that bad. they had so much cool stuff they could have pulled from the series, but instead they tried to condense the entire season 1 plot into 2 hours and they lost everything remotely cool about the tv show. fans of the show were super disappointed. save yourself, don't watch it. you might cry of boredom.

  • one of the best reviews of the last airbender out there.

  • this makes me cry, ok?? if every ATLA fan came together, im sure we would make a better movie out of it, but still YOU CANNOT MAKE A ANIME INTO A MOVIE! it just doesnt work!! ok? and ATLA is the best show ive every seen! it has drama, romance, humor, action, adventure, and its amazing! i have not seen shamalama shit heads version, but from what ive heard it is the worst thing ull ever see!!! god m. night is not better than OZAI!!!!!!!!! he should fuck off and expect no one to see his next movie!

  • Too bad the movie sucked because the cartoon series was LEGEN... wait for it... DARY!

  • The Cartoon was so good!!! I have never been so excited for a movie, and then immediately disappointed by a movie in my entire life. I never walked out of a movie before... there is a first time for everything

  • The Cartoon was so good!!! I have never been so excited for a movie, and then immediately disappointed by a movie in my entire life. I never walked out of a movie before... there is a first time for averything

  • wasn't dev patel in it?

  • i hope you guys watch the series its really good.

  • this is what happens when you pack 20 episodes into a one hour movie

  • @Nixom1334 he could have made it in to book 1: part 1 book1: part 2 etc. they did the same thing with harry potter and the deathly hallows. they could'nt make it in to 1 movie, so they made it in to 2. it would have made more buissness sense and he might have some positive reviews. but instead, lets take out 90% of the storyline, because that makes alot of sense.

  • @girlikescupcakes8773 it was an idiotic move by M. night. he obviously never saw the entire series, taking out the kioshi warriors completely out of the story line. aang was humorless, and unless you've seen the series is almost impossible to know where you're at. not to mention the weak earth bending that takes ten minutes with 5 or 6 guys to lift one rock 3 feet off the ground.

  • @Nixom1334 LOL did you notice the rock was flying at .00001 feet an hour and the firebender was knocked out.

  • @girlikescupcakes8773 haha yeah, realistically he could've just walked two feet to the right and it would've completely missed him.

  • my reaction to the movie KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILL­LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­ MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:(

  • is it ok that i say flying fartbox sometimes now?

  • @underbightdog23 Are you kidding? An honor! Thinking about making t-shirts with it!

  • @schmoesknow ILL TAKE TEN OF THOSE SHIRTS!!

  • This is the BEST review yet. You guys are HILARIOUS!

  • @gmc0351 Thank you! And thanks for the subscription, hope you comment away on our reviews.

  • This was the best review! You guys are hilarious and for once, the guest was actually really funny! I LOVE THIS REVIEW!!!

  • @magicman205 Thank you magicman, hope you guys will keep letting us know what you think, our goal is to start movie conversations on all our reviews.

  • Omg I laughed so hard xD

  • @koopaatroopa Thank you, glad we could assist you in that.

  • I'd much rather spend money on the cartoon than I would on this, the cartoon was 100000000000 times better. If Shamylan hadn't directed it, it would have had the potential to become the next Star Wars or Lord of the Rings

  • @MegaMindFTW It had some really cool ideas, too bad guys like Shamyalan, Bay and Sommers exist.

  • @schmoesknow Well you know the guy who directed the X-men movies almost did it, I think it would have turned out pretty neat if that deal had fallen through

  • LOL the naming at the ending of the movie was HILARIOUS!

  • @Akuma2unlimited Thank you, too bad a good possible franchise had to pay for it.

  • when i went to c it half the people just got up and walked out in the first five minutes alone...by the end of the movie there were only lik 7 people left i wuz so disapointed in this movie...i can make a better movie...a monkey with a computer can make a better movie..my dead grandmother can make a better movie! shamalan needs to die in a hole

  • @pottercullen1 It really is amazing how awful this turd is.

  • lol You are definitely harder on this one.

  • @Wormtail81 See? If we don't like something, no punches held. The second half of 2010 was just a lot better.

  • @schmoesknow Alright. Happy New Year, guys. Looking forward to your review of "The King's Speech."

  • i'll see it just so i can ROFL all the way through

  • @taimirgore I don't think it is one of those types of bad movies, it will piss you off more than anything else.

  • I dunno how Shamylan could go from being great to being so terrible. TAT It's kinda sad.

  • @eartianwerewolf Bought his own hype

  • I hate this movie so much...

  • @Bulletguy97 Welcome to the club Bullet

  • <3 cgi dragon lol. but in all seriousness if the movie was directed CORRECTLY (aka not by m. night, if the story was followed correctly, if they included the kyoshi warriors!, and if it was just directed by someone else) it probably could have been the most epic movie i had ever seen.

  • @cgcgstew2010 I agree, it had a shot to be fantastic.

  • I think M. Night Shyamalamdingdong made 1 good movie, 1 great movie, and 1 really great movie(Signs, Sixth Sense, and Unbreakable-yes in that order... I fucking loved Unbreakable). Since then it's been down hill.

    GREAT REVIEW!!! CGI Dragon LMAO!

  • @CAK11891 I loved Unbreakable as well.

  • wow almost 20,000! Impressive.

  • @aragon131 We hit it :)

  • The movie sucked on a below subterranean level. Just save your money and watch the cartoon (which is literally a million times better) on Netflix.

  • @adamlegend12345 Agree with that.

  • "Flying Fart Box." Wow.

  • @manningroad Too nice?

  • What 3D ? I am still struggeling what scenes were in 3D. It was just a waste of time the movie sucked and we had to wear stupid glasses in case a 3D would show up.

  • @vitalalive69 I mean talk about milking you dry of money. What a piece of trash this movie was.

  • names...

    aang = uung

    katara = katara (normal)

    sokka = So-kah

    avatar = uvatuhh

  • Did anyone else noticed that they used the music from the Avatar trailer? All great songs, by the way.

  • @schmoesknow What do you think about hearing there's gonna be a sequel?

  • @coltsfanca Pissed off because it means we will have to see it.

  • The Last Airbender was the epic #FAIL of the century

  • @maipai101 Up there for sure. That and David Hasselhoff's reality show

  • worst movie ever! well its pretty close they could have made a great movie but that is what you get for m night doing the movie! i wont see the next one if there is one!

  • @iampotts02 Hopefully everyone else follows that sentiment.

  • im totally watching this online just for the cheer bad dialogue

    i already saw the anime (preaty good not great but funny and good) so i know what to expect

  • @esfelectra Did you wind up seeing it?

  • This movie had so much potential. It could have been the greatest flick in a long time. If only BryKe had directed it, it would have been so totally epic. But, NOOO...they just had to bring in Shamalamayomama. What were they thinking? Did someone slip Cactus Juice into their tea???

  • @Pevensify At the time they probably thought his name brought people in, looks like it worked unfortunately. The stupid thing made money.

  • @Pevensify I agree. Avatar was a fantastic cartoon, so when I heard about the movie, my reaction was "HELL YES!!! This will be THE movie to see" then I heard it was being directed by M. Night Shyamalan and my reaction changed to "Oh... fuck."

    I think Shyamalan was just the cheapest director they could find, as most of the budget was for special effects, and that's how we got this piece of shit pretending to be Avatar: The Last Air Bender.

  • @Grojak Sadly... I had not previously seen any of Night's movies, so I was not prepared for the horrificness when I went to see the movie. It was terrible, because my brothers and I pretty much devoted a month of our lives to watching the series, then a week later we saw the movie. It was... SO DISAPPOINTING! I'll NEVER forgive Shyamalan. EVER. *sigh*... Such an abomination. Us devoted Avatards deserve SO much better.

  • @Pevensify I know. I had a double hit cos I'm also a Dragonball fan and out came that shit movie calling it's self 'Dragonball: Evolution'... seriously, why are they doing this to anime series? (And in Avatar's case, western animation styled and told like anime).

  • @Grojak I know... *sigh*. It's quite sad to see great animes go this way. I REALLY hope no one ever even considers making a Naruto movie. It... ugh. I don't even want to think about it. It would ruin my life. T_T

  • @Pevensify I like Naruto too and would hate to see that. I also love One Piece, but the one blessing of it not being as popular in the western world (thanks to 4Kids) is that it won't get a God awful live action movie made. I just wish that if they make an anime movie in future they use big name actors, a large budget and hire a director and writer's that know what their doing. So in other words, NOT M.NIGHT SHYSMALAN!!! (God I hate that dude).

  • @Grojak I've never seen One Piece, but I've been told recently that it's good, and that I would like it since I like Naruto and Bleach. I intend to watch it soon.

    Anyway, I'm with you. Thankfully, the One Piece fans will likely be spared of Hollywood's crap.

    I... respect Shyamalan trying to get unknown actors to be well known, and to not be racist, and blah. But I think it's more important to be accurate to the atmosphere of an Asian movie.

    Furthermore, you're right, he has no skill at all.

  • @Pevensify One Piece is very good. You should either watch the subtitled Japanese version or watch the Funimation dub. Whatever you do don't watch the 4Kids dub! They ruined it!!!

    Yeah, that is the ONE good thing that came from 4Kids awful dub! XD

    I agree. You have to think about the quality of your work and think about how true to the original your material is. He seems to have forgotten that.

    Yeah, he used to it's sad.

    Well all we can do is hope that at least ONE good anime LAM comes out.

  • @Grojak I imagine anything coming from 4kids is crap, lol. I'll definitely watch out for it!

    Hopefully, one of these days we'll get at least one good LAM.

  • @Pevensify lol, very true. Tbh Pokemon was OK, but then that show was actually intended for kids (and they still lost the right's to it :P)

    Yeah, we can hope! After all we eventually got a good movie based on a video game! :D

  • @Grojak Wait wait wait wait wait, 4kids made a One Piece dub!?

    I can only imagine how bad they must have screwed it up.

    Probably like the difference between the funimation dub of dbz, and nicktoons network's kai.

  • @IrmassiDarkstar No, no, no. It was much MUCH worse. Seriously, it ended up being a pirate anime with no guns, no death and no blood. Oh and Sanji was smoking a lollipop, wtf?

    It was so bad you can't imagine! That's why I find the Funimation dub so epic!!!

    If you wanna see how god awful the 4kids dub was you can look for it on here, but I warn you, it's painfully bad (they even changed the opening from We Are to a Rap called Gotta Go, WTF!!!).

  • Comment removed

  • @Pevensify No but I hear nothing but great things.

  • @schmoesknow And they're all true...you should watch the show.

  • @schmoesknow Yea that show is frikkin awesome!

  • @schmoesknow it was a good show and there making a sequel to the show about a new Avatar

  • What is the song at 3:07? I KNOW I've heard it before! Is it a TSFH song?

  • this movie makes chubaka look bald

  • AMEN U GUYS R SOO RITE!!!!!

  • @cree1243 Thank you

  • The Shamalamadingdong himself is coming to NY Comic Con this weekend and I'm ready to rip him a new one for this abomination, as well as others!!!

  • @OYE87 Did you?

  • @schmoesknow Actually, I let it go this time because he talked about "Unbreakable" reaching its 10th anniversary. Shyamalan, consider yourself lucky

  • @schmoesknow Actually, I let it go this time because he talked about "Unbreakable" reaching its 10th anniversary and let's be honest, THAT was a pretty good movie. Shyamalan, consider yourself lucky

  • @OYE87

    yeah did you?

  • lmao i guess i got all excited cuz i was watching the shows online and like as soon as i finished the last episode of the animated one i was like this rocked!!! then i seen the commerciall i was like Fuck Yess!! Win Wiinnn Wiiiin!!! the i seen the movie and i was like ..... -______- Fuckenn #FAIL !!

    True Story... -__-

  • lmao i guess i got all excited cuz i was watching the shows online and like as soon as i finished the last episode of the animated one i was like this rocked!!! then i seen the commerciall i was like Fuck Yess!! Win Wiinnn Wiiiin!!! the i seen the movie and i was like ..... -______- Fuckenn #FAIL !!

  • M. Night Shit-a-thon

  • you know what i blame the fuckin idiot that had the idea to give this movie to M. Night Shyamalan.. i liked Signs but from his last movie i wouldnt give him $150mill

  • i love the avatar cartoon, i hope ppl don't start hating it bc of this movie. frickin m night. i can't believe he did this to us. *SCREAMS FOR 90 HOURS STRAIGHT*

  • I'm a big fan of M. Night's first 3 movies, and I even enjoyed The Village. But I can't defend this dud. This terrible movie's existence is disrespectful to the fans of the great show, and good movie viewers in general. Lady in the Water, The Happening, The Last
