Utter Disappointment

I love M. Night Shyamalan, and I love the TV series "Avatar: The Last Airbender", so naturally I was really excited for this movie. But when I finally was able to see it, my heart was just torn. The names were all pronounced wrong, the acting seemed way too animated, and so much was flipped around. In the first "book", 'Sokka', 'Aang', and 'Katara' don't fly to the Earth Kingdom; they head straight for the Northern Water Tribe. Then at the end with the big fight between the Fire Nation and the Northern Water Tribe, 'Aang' is supposed to use his Avatar powers to turn into this giant Water Creature and crash some of the Fire Nation Ships, and then have them retreat. But no, the climax was when 'General Zhao' (not Commander) was killed by four Water Tribe people. Yes, most of the special effects were good...but all I could think of when I was watching this was "this is wrong", "that is wrong", "that is not how you say his name". It really felt like M. Night Shyamalan didn't even watch the TV series. After being a long time "Avatar: The Last Airbender" Fan, and then watching this movie, I declare "The Last Airbender" the #1 Worst Movie of 2010.
