From now on I'm calling it "The Last Failbender."
More bad reviews for M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender. When Roger Ebert gives your movie half of a star while giving Twilight: Eclipse two stars, you know it's going to be ugly.
Pretty much the consensus is that Mr. Shyamalan is a legend only in his own mind. He was practically handed a complete story on a silver platter and still managed to turn it into complete and utter crap. Whatever happened to the man who directed The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable? Personally I wondered what the hell Nickelodeon was thinking when it allowed Shyamalan to wirte the screenplay and direct it. Please don't tell me the contracts were signed after The Happening, I don't think my heart could take it.
Moving away from The Last Failbender, I found two very interesting links today while sifting through comments on the reviews.
First up is an exciting Twitter post:
My heart, I must admit, gave an excited flutter. And I tried to ignore this until I found out about a job posting for a storyboard revisionist to work on an "Untitled Avatar project" for Nickelodeon.
I had heard rumors that the original creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante were looking to do a fourth season of ATLA, and it looks like those rumors might indeed be true. Perhaps they're flipping the metaphorical bird at M. Night Shyamalan, or maybe they just realized they had another story to tell. Let's hope they keep up their excellent work and are able to distance themselves far, far away from The Last Failbender.
