Noah ringer 20201/6/2024 There are myriad aspects of Shyamalan’s interpretation that flat out don’t work, including some aspects of the film over which he had no real control. Suffice to say, the work of art does not translate well. To watch the entirety of Avatar, and then move directly on to Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender is like touring the Louvre and then going to a souvenir shop outside where street urchins are painting their best attempts at replicating the works of Monet and Vermeer. What I found was a film that was every bit as bad on a technical level as I remembered, but also so much worse as an adaptation than I ever realized. Night Shyamalan film, ahead of only (of course) The Happening. It sits second to last in our ranking of every M. And the timing proved to be fortuitous, as we just marked the 10th anniversary of that legendarily bad film’s release. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender adaptation from 2010. Which of course, to someone who is fascinated by bad movies, can mean only one thing: It was clearly time for me to revisit M. As has been experienced by so many other shows that are beneficiaries of the so-called “Netflix bump,” though, appreciation for Avatar has subsequently exploded, and the show has consistently been in Netflix’s top 10, with an entire new audience falling in love with it along the way. It’s a cult series that had been on my “I really should watch this” list for years, but its limited availability always kept me from actively seeking the series out. In the last few months, like so many other Netflix viewers, I dove head first into Avatar: The Last Airbender.
