I personally thought this was a well done movie, it is the best M. Night has accomplished since "The Sixth Sense"! The Last Airbender has a unique story line similar to the cartoon series, of course though, not exact, and this is where you must keep an open mind. The cartoon series will always be better, there's no doubt about that. But M. Night has made this wonderful fictional story into a film that just sucks you in immediately. The effects were amazing. He has used the best CGI effects I think I've ever seen. The acting is a little "meh" on some parts, but they can easily be fixable and improved if we get the next two movies following this one. There were a few cheesy parts, but to me, they had an adorable side to them. The story line was a bit rushed, but if you are paying attention, it won't seem as bad and even people who have not seen the cartoon series will find it decent to follow. M. Night clearly had a lot of fun with this film, and he put as much effort into it as possible. Whether you like the movie or not, you at least gotta give the guy credit. He put his heart and soul into this movie, and that is easily noticeable throughout the entire film.
