Decent start to potential franchise

M. Night Shyamalan serves up a decent film in Airbender, the story of a boy beginning to embrace his destiny. Sure, there are some flaws, but they don't hurt the overall story. There's a lot of stuff crammed in, but I'm not going to hold that against the film, there was a lot of backstory, characters, and history to cover and other than doing it over 2 films, I'm not sure it could have been done better. Yes, some of the child actors are clearly inexperienced, but no more so, than say, the Harry Potter trio were in their first film. Overally, Airbender serves to introduce us to a story and set the stage for the future. If it continues, I'll definitely watch.
