There’s a Reason Why The Last Airbender Only Has An 8% Rating at Rotten Tomatoes

Märia: I want to go see a movie tonight.
Steven: Which one?
Märia: The Last Airbender *reading Fandango information* Hey Jackson Rathbone is in it. Did you know that?
Steven: Who’s Jackson Rathbone?
Märia: You know Jasper.
Steven: What do I care about Jasper?
Maria: Don’t even give me that Mister I Saw the Midnight Showing of Eclipse.
Steven: Hey I went to go see Alice. Jasper is just competition.

So Seporah and I went to go see The Last Airbender tonight. I actually really wanted to go see it having nothing whatsoever to do with Jackson Rathbone. It just looked like fun. I’d seen commercials for the show Avatar and though I never actually watched it (since I don’t really have the time to just sit and watch a whole cartoon television series) it did look interesting and I figured I could sit through a 2 hour summary movie instead.

The storyline was interesting, the choreography was beautiful, the music was epic, the costumers were amazingly talented, the CG was really cool but the whole thing just plain sucked. There was no soul to the movie, no depth to any of the characters, plus I’m pretty sure the dialogue was written by a 3rd grader. It was like someone was making this wonderful sweet bread and forgot to add yeast, so instead of tasting delicious it was hard as a rock and was good for nothing but a doorstop.

Anyways I haven’t seen a movie this bad since, well I don’t think I’ve ever sat through a movie this bad before. I’m pretty shocked that the same director of Unbreakable put this out as well. So here’s your warning: RUN, Do not waste your money on this movie, it is not worth it.
