The Last Airbender is a film by M. Night Shyamalan based off the Nickelodeon series of the same name. I had watched the series before and the film slightly does the series justice. Shyamalan does the entire first season of the series and he omits some things in the script that down the road might bite him in the ass. For instance there is no mention of King Bumi of Omashu, The Warriors of Kyoshi, or Joeng Joeng (Aang's first firebending teacher) who all have importnat parts near the end of the series. My one other complaint about the film is that the dialogue and script seem very poorly written. There is way too much exposition in the show and we should have had more showing then telling. I give the film 3.5/5 stars.
