Well, it's official....
The fail that is the live action adaptation of Avatar the Last Airbender is an abysmal failure.

I'm not one to always put stock into critics. i will typically go see a movie i want to see based on my own judgements, but there are a few critics I do typically find myself in line with. There are also a few i truly respect.
A soul-crushing disaster.
Even during the climax, the film still is struggling to introduce the world
The 3-D is pretty bad. Almost as bad as the writing and the acting. Almost.
It is so bad .. Uwe Boll (could) make a better movie.
Slavishly amateurish with no heart.
How can this action-packed adventure be so deadly dull?
This is bad filmmaking and bad storytelling. It also sounds what should be the death knell to M. Night Shyamalan's career.
The Last Airbender lays there, stillborn, potential squandered
Nothing short of an incomprehensible fiasco.
A new low point in Shyamalan's crumbling career
The good news: the 3D isn't horrible. The bad news? Just about everything else is.
If any movie ever warranted a class-action lawsuit against the filmmakers, it’s The Last Airbender.
The movie has been criticized for racially inappropriate casting, but that’s the least of its problems
Roger Ebert's tag for the review I think is the most telling.
The Last Airbender is an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented.
