Movbie Review - The Last Airbender


Yesterday i caught up on the M. Night Shyamalan's new production The Last Airbender. The movie stars Dev Patel as the fire lord's son.


The Plot:
The movie's story is based on the 1st part of the 'Avatar - The Last Airbender' series. The world's divided into four kingdoms - Fire,Earth,Air and Water kingdoms. The Avatar is the master of the four arts,and happens to communicate with the spritual world to maintain balance. But suddenly, the avatar disappears, and the fire kingdom uses this opportunity to expand its kingdom in all wrong ways.

After a century, avatar appears. But its quite late now. Everyone from his airbending monk tribe has been killed by the fire kingdom. He is rescued by two water kingdom kids Kitara and her brother. He eventually finds out that he's the last of his tribe. But he gets caught by the Fire King's expelled son, but somehow manages to escape with the help of Kitara and her brother. This follows a series of fights with the fire kingdom based warriors. He later goes to the northern water kingdom where he faces the biggest battle till now. In the end, he finally gets rid of the fire kingdom, but in the process, the princess of the water kingdom dies.

Final Take:
The movie s good. Yes, there are some misdirections. The pre-attack body movements are just too long,loads of time wasted in it. The acting's also too weak by some actors. Yes, the direction has been tried to the best level, but though there's still some thngs missing. Probably the final editing hasn't been done well. Yes, its okay,but you wont miss out on anything if you dont watch it,dont be in grief if you missed it.

Considering everything,i'd give it 3 out of 5.

What about you, do you find the movie same??
