Christopher WaldeckThe Last Airbender

The first words out of my mouth were: Epic Fail! This was only after the first minute when the actress mispronounced the Avatar. After this I just knew it was all down hill from here. The question is where should I begin? The truth is there is nowhere to begin because all hope of this being an epic movie ends the moment it begins. M. Night Shymalan what the hell happened to you? I actually appreciated you and defended as a director because at least you tried to make your movies in your own vision because it was your own work and ideas that you were creating, but there is no way I can defend you for this train wreck of a movie. What were you thinking?
To start off the dialogue was atrocious and corny. It felt as if he was parodying the show and making a parody of an epic movie. It wasn't the Last Airbender, but the rather the Wicker Man(remake) in a fantasy world. The over exposition cheesed up the characters which made the actors have no real feeling when reading their lines because the dialogue sucked all the life out of anything innovative. The plot was squished because you decided to rush the whole first season of the series, and the second half of the series in a very short timespan. Less than two hours was the time which didn't leave room for any character development or give us enough time to become attached to the story or care about what was going on. It was Jonah Hex level on the crappy pacing except on massive steroids.
The casting was awful. The characters were Asian and since you, Shymalan did the casting you whitewashed the cast and cast a completely unknown an uncharismatic Noah Ringer was your lead and wasted the talented Dev Patel in an over the top role. At least Dev had the character right because everyone else you directed in this film had no idea what they were doing. They were just wandering around and reading your crappy dialogue.
M. Night please do not direct a sequel to this film. You wrote, directed, produced, and casted it. You need to take a break and stick to one of these roles instead of micromanaging the whole project. Hire someone else to write the scripts for you and just direct it so at least it's redeemable.
I already know this is gonna be the big winner at the Razzies unless the razzies finally decide to reward the directors of Vampires Suck for their careers of crappy movies, or reward Joel Schumacher for Twelve because those are the only films worse than the Last Airbender.
