As an fYI this is movie only deals with season 1 of Airbender. They are

The Curious George feature with the voices of Will Ferrell and Drew
Barrymore was better than "The Last Airbender".

No 3d in it? Maybe the effects do not translate well to 3d? Some of the same
effects were used in a movie called Storm Warriors.

The 3-D is another thing. I have to say that of all the summer
popcorn movies, the one I most enjoyed was Iron Man 2 - mainly
because it wasn't in 3-D.

No. The thing is whose *leading* the film, who's got the top billing and is the

It's THAT BAD.
But one thing I wanna say straight away: It's not the race of the
actors that ruins this film. It's a horribly written, horribly

In one of his interviews about the movie he talked about mixed racial
casting that he did. He seem proud of the fact that he did that, but I doubt
he actually looked at the "big picture." Nor did he look at race relations
and Hollywood's history of portrayal race on screen.
