This will probably go down as one of the most disappointing moments of my life. My favorite TV show of all time, ruined by M Night Shyamalan. I really thought that this movie has a good chance of being good, since most of the material is written already. I thought the "racebending" issue was bad enough but that turned out to be just the tip of the turd-iceberg.
Boy was I wrong, from what I hear from fans the movie butchered everything about the show. From the names being mispronounced (Oong instead of Aang) to huge glaring changes/mistakes to characters' personalities (Toph possibly being deaf? Iroh being a coffee drinking villian?). As of now The Last Airbender scores a measly 6% on Rotten Tomatoes: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/last_airbender/
Here are fan reactions to the show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNl3j3Snkbs
Can anyone who has seen the show offer their opinion? If you actually went to go see it and didn't like it: my deepest sympathies. I cannot bring myself to watch my favorite show get butchered. If I had spent $12 on a ticket I don't want to end up walking out of it and ask for a refund.
