I never intended to see this film. A lot of folks aren't for the simple fact of the race issues behind its casting, but it seems that there is another good reason to avoid the film: it's bad. With a Rottentomatoes rating of 9%, it can't be good.

"Shyamalan has boiled every epic heroic story of the past 20 years down to its most basic, primal soup-y essence, so he can spray it all over the audience, in a kind of Hero's-Journey bukkake. You will be finding chunks of Joseph Campbell's calcified spooge behind your ears for three days after watching this film, no matter how many times you bathe." -- io9

"The Last Airbender" is an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented. The laws of chance suggest that something should have gone right. Not here. It puts a nail in the coffin of low-rent 3D, but it will need a lot more coffins than that." -- Roger Ebert
