The Last Airbender Movie Review
Short Version: The Last Airbender is torture. M. Night takes the excellent animated series – removes the humor and life from it and only adds a few cool CGI effects. Acting? What acting? Dialogue? I’ve read Fan Fiction written by 9-yr old’s stronger than this. WORST movie of 2010, and arguably the WORST movie in the last Decade and I’m easy on movies, unlike games.
Angry Joe Reviews the WORST Film of 2010 and possibly of the Last Decade. How can M.Night have failed so spectacularly and in nearly every way? Find out in this Extra Angry Review!
What you’ll Like:
• The CGI Bender attacks were cool for a little while. That’s it.
What you’ll Hate:
• Everything Else.
• Seriously.
• This thing is a Joke. And not the good kinda joke that you can watch for shits & giggles, like Batman & Robin or Battlefield Earth. This has no merit.
Final Verdict:
1/10

it’s a good thing i never went to the movies to see this and after all these years i still don’t want to see it and i will not even buy this movie from wal-mart’s 5 daller DvD bin
Would it surprise anyone that M. Night Shamalan (I don’t care how to spell his name), he never watched the cartoon. Never did research… no all he did was ask people to tell him about it.
The cartoon is amazing, it really is! The fighting is way more badass, the dialog is intriguing and really done well. The animated movie they did for the finale of the cartoon series was 1000000000000000000 times better than this. The animated movie is awesome! Watch it! The Avatar turns into an ultimate being and just… I won’t spoil it. But its AWESOME!
Lol, this vid is 3 years old #Watching in 2013, anyway The Cartoon is Actually badass, holds its own with better choreography and Bending attacks than simple tossing rocks and water. The makers of the show had nothing to do with this Movie, it was all M. Night I think, but when I went to go see this shit after the ok looking trailer I wanted to literally kill someone in the theater it was so bad. The show is great, way better character development, Choreography, acting and storyline, likeable characters, and less people walking down hallways explaining what you just saw. and Legend of Korra the next series is pretty good as well.
The cartoon actually has the main character pretty weak and useless for the first season and half…plus the fire benders could actually, oh I don’t know, MAKE FIRE!
THE DIRECTOR TURNED THE FIRE NATION IN TO A BUNCH OF INDIANS!!!! INSTEAD OF LIKE THE TV SHOW WHERE THEY ARE ASIAN LOOKING BUT AMERICAN ACCENT. CURSE YOU M NIGHT SHYMALAN!!!!!!!! YOU RUINED MY FAVORITE ANIMATED TV SHOW (OTHER THAN SPONGEBOB)!!!!!
first off they fucked up the fire nation which took of all the conflict fire comes out of there hands
Just want to say, you misspelled sight.
Dude u gotta check out the show its great
I’ve only recently been introduced to Joe’s reviews, even though I’ve been watching That guy with the Glasses for some time (as well as Spoony and Linkara). Once I did though I absolutely loved listening to Joe rant.
Then I saw his review on the god awful Avatar The Last Airbender movie.
It’s been almost three years and I’m sure others have said it before but I can’t help myself.
Joe,
I agree with EVERYTHING you had to say about the movie. Every…Single…Word.
You asked in your video for someone to explains things so here goes nothing:
1. Fire-Benders in the Show do NOT need to draw on nearby flame. They create it, in essence all Fire Benders are Pyro kinetic. The martial arts moves produce and manipulate the flame (fire bending is based on Northern Shaolin).
2. What you saw was one of the “Shorts” for Avatar. Where all the characters were essentially chibified and their behavior exaggerated from the show (though the show has some goofy moments).
3. In the show the comet doesn’t give some small boost it turns even a normal fire bender into a walking forest fire.
4. Aang’s ability to lift the ocean was due to two factors. A.) He entered “The Avatar State” A state where he gains access to the skills and knowledge of all the past Avatars (Avatar is big on reincarnation) this is what the glowing eyes and tattoos are all about. B.) When Aang entered the Avatar state he also fused his will with that of the Ocean Spirit (the black fish) together these two effects boosted his Water Bending (which he only just began learning) to massive heights. Consciously entering the Avatar State is not something Aang knows how to do at this time in the series.
Trust me had you been a fan of the show this movie would have ticked you off even more.
That said I urge you, if you haven’t already, to track down a copy of the series three seasons (you can find them all on Netflix at this moment)
Though the first season and parts of the second can be very goofy they have a certain charm (if you like Martial Arts….which judging from your Sleeping Dogs review you do.) the different bending styles (done right) will be worth watching the show.
Whew…I kinda ran long there so let me close this up.
I’ve enjoyed watching the reviews and will continue to do so from here on out. Thanks for Raking this awful movie across the coals!
This guy knows his Shit
The series was F*CKING EPIC! 3 books to build the characters and the relations between them, a path of redemption that makes you drop a tear on the second to last episode, jokes everywhere, excelent voice acting (with the exception of Toph at some points), interesting story based on multiple cultures, good score and fighting scenes, and a satisfying ending. This movie was simply a cash-in attempt and by watching it, you are not getting the message and the experience the series delivers you, you feel there are so much to explore, so much to learn, and that’s the last movie I’m gonna see from f*cking shamalamanasdasd or whatever is called!
I like animated series movie is a POS PRODUCTION (PIECE OF SHITTT) FUCKKKing SHIIIT MOVIE RUIN MY IMAGE about the fucking airbender cartoon saga.
who’s ideia was it to make this movie? oh ya the dumbass director A.k.A retarded
the fucking cartoon is better that is sad
WTF is right here should be the title
The Last Movie THERE EVER GOING TO MAKE
if i had the movie in my house i would burn it and piss the ashes
I swear the first time I saw the trailer of this movie I thought ok cool movie creators decided to make a real life version of avatar the last airbender but no all I seen was the movie creators wipe their fucking ass on the awsome seires and then butcher the hell out of this beloved show and turn it into something that never should have been made in the first place they only showed book 1 and that was it they were’nt gonna show book 2 and the following that was a complete fail after I watched that peice of shit I was like are you fucking kidding me there were no joked at all in the movie hell I didnt even get to see oppa fly hes a flying bison for gods sake and sokka was my total fave in the movie with his comedy but did I see that in the movie no infact what im really pissed off at in the movie is aang and katara where was the love and relationship between them they didnt even bother to put that all I saw was war, war, war that was a total fucking waste of my parents money a total fucking waste!
