The Review

Hmm is it just me or the more movies M. Night Shyamalan makes, the terrible it becomes. And the fella took an excellent storytelling, made it into his own, and the end result is a crappy adaptation.

What irks me was how weird the names was spoken. You could at least get that one right. It is as if everything was rushed, and before you know it, the whole Avatar saga was compact, and squeeze into 103 minutes of it.

Well you’ve to thank Shyamalan for ruining a perfectly classic cartoon series with his interpretation of the movie.

I’m angry and totally disappointed with this film, as it could potentially be an epic saga such as The Lord of the Rings. Such a waste.

The Good

• Unique plot

The Bad

• A miscast
• Patchy scenes
• I was told there’s no difference between the 2D and 3d version
