"This is all enormously disappointing, of course, since the best we could hope for from a live-action "Avatar" adaptation is the mind-blowing equivalent of our first encounters with wire-fu, rather than this cartoony nonsense."

Variety
Variety"Half a star for James Newton Howard’s imperious score and another for Andrew Lesnie’s lensing. But even that’s marred by muddy 3D in a film lacking any sort of dimension."
—
Total Film
Total Film"The problem -- the catastrophe -- of The Last Airbender is not in the conception but the execution. The long-winded explanations and clumsy performances are made worse by graceless effects and a last-minute 3-D conversion that wrecks whatever visual grace or beauty might have been there."

The New York Times
The New York Times"The Last Airbender is an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented."

Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"Airbender, whether intentionally or not, is pegged almost exclusively to a small-fry state of mind."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"Even during the climax, the film still is struggling to introduce the world of the film and its strange rules."
—
Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"Far from the catastrophe the US bewailed, but still disappointingly clunky. Notch it between Eragon (below) and Dragonslayer (above) on a sliding scale of fantasy filmmaking."

Empire Magazine
Empire Magazine"CHARLIE GATES is unimpressed by a career nosedive from director M Night Shyamalan."
