Even with lowered expectations, this live-action take on Nickelodeon's great Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoon is impressively shitty: entire scenes seem to be missing; a clumsy voiceover pounds out clumsier exposition; half-assed 3-D makes everything look like a pop-up book. Somehow, M. Night Shyamalan's taken a story about magic kung fu--magic kung fu, for fuck's sake--and made it boring. by Erik Henriksen
