Forcing My Fiancée to Watch THE LAST AIRBENDER (2010) 😂 | Reaction & Review 

M. Night tried to defend the characters' names pronunciations as trying to be more "culturally accurate." To which Dante Basco, Zuko's voice actor from the original series, responded with "Then why are the characters white?!"

Avatar is easily one of the best works of fiction humanity has ever created.. and this movie is by far the worst piece of media I've ever seen in my whole life. It takes special skill to mess up this badly, I don't think many directors could've done a worse job, lol.

Appa looks like a goddamn monster. They did our big cute fluffy boy wrong. 😬😔

Did you lose a bet or something? On reason I can think of to put yourself through this movie.. :D I do generally like what they did with the tattoos though. M. Night Shyamalan is from India, probably explains the Fire Nation in this film. Can probably blame Nicole Peltz for the water tribe being white people, since her billionaire father made sure his little girl was cast as Katara.

I wonder if it's a fan made movie? 😊 Thanks for your patience ladies. 😚

It's only a right of passage that every reaction channel checking out the Avatar series checks out this horror show of movie

meesh, you will go down in history as the only human to see this film twice

For my head cannon, we had to go through this movie to get Seychelle Gabriel as the voice of Asami.

You guys have made my morning😂 couldn't stop laughin with you. The guy who played Zuko even apologized publicly for the movie😂😭 cause he is truly a good actor this movie confused him as well😂

Princess Yuie is the best casting in the entire so-called movie

Katara's actress (Nicola Peltz) was cast in this role at the insistence of her father, who was a producer on the film. It came to light that Nicola Peltz was cast as a favor to her billionaire father, Nelson Peltz. And Jackson Rathbone (Twilight)) was subsequently hired to match her appearance.💀

Oh boy, I was about to have my coffee but I better switch it out for vodka 😂

You are officially part of the avatar community! Watching that atrocity is the initiation

The original creators were involved in both production only for the beginning until they left because of creative differences. Both of the times that there has been a live action of the show that creators have been ousted because their vision isn't being released

I’m already laughing and I haven’t even fully started the video yet 🤭🤭

M.Night was doing an interview and said he though firebenders bending from nothing wasn't realistic. Thst let me know he didn't know the lore of the world...firebenders draw in heat from the sun raising their body temperature focusing that heat to a single point abd ignite the dust particles in the air M. Night!!😢😢😢

why does Meesh always remove Dee's hand when shes touching her 😭😭😭😭

I find it insane that M. Night directs a movie like The Sixth Sense and then doesn't see what's wrong with this one at all.

Shyamalan even managed to make the iconic intro look naturally boring. How do you mess up that bad?

You forced her into watching it? That's kind of evil ngl 😂

"Why's her face like that?" "Sh'just... she just bended" 😂😂😂😂

32:44 they were initially involved but they left due to creative differences. M. Night wasn't taking their input

Seychelle Gabriel is just *chef's kiss* and one of the only good parts of this. It's always the writing that drags this movie down. It could have been a "decent but not what I wanted" kind of movie, but instead it has no redeeming qualities.

i cant believe they made firebenders need a source out of boy, until Iroh has the big revelation like "Look how strong I am NOBODY can do this. Im the only one who can just manufacture fire"

I love how they made an entire movie of the ember island cast.

OMG, you must add Slumdog Millionaire to watch list!!!

The name drop of Hama in the southern Watetribe is the only thing this movie does right...

My sincere condolences to any excited Avatar fan that went to see this in theaters 😔

Princess Yue is the best part of the movie.

Which is worse comments, this or dragon ball evolution?😂😂 Both are terrible in there own right.

17:55 "Aaaahhhaahhh !! 🤪🔥" = literally that guy while "firebending" 🤣for me it's the best part of the whole mess 😅

I just watched your reaction vid of all eps of Netflix ATLA few wks ago but wasnt able to comment so doing it now. I loved it! One of the best RV of Natla for me. The one closest to my feedback. I loved how you were objective yet not like those toxic fans coz in the end, many enjoyed the series by old and new fans but were just lowkey coz the toxic ones are loud. LOL. Btw as for this one, i know you tried so thanks for trying😂😂😂

My name is ong and I am the avatar 😂😂😂 omg that's was so funny and hey beautiful ladies pls react to kobra Kai thank you ❤❤❤❤

I’m pretty sure the original creators bowed out of this one as well. I also love that Dev Patel actually hates this movie. Hahaha there was a video of him signing autographs somewhere and someone brought this movies poster in and he said “this movie was pretty shit. Sorry about that”

I can vividly remember the night I watched this, I’d finished ATLA and Korra and knew this was the last step I had to take, I was already sick and then watching this movie on top of it, what an experience. I think I had the same reaction as you guys at the end “I’m never going to get those hours of my life back” 🤣

aw y’all the cutest couple on RU-vid but watching this was tough lolol

Did you notice that, in the intro's background, for some reason they swapped the Japanese kanji with ... Random scribbles

Can you please react to the Saban’s Power Rangers 2017 Movie!!! You may look at the name and think it is childish and cheesy. But it is hilarious and shows the growth of friendship and trustworthy. I swear it is a must watch!! Also, has some tearjerkers

This movie lvl of cringe makes me appreciate the toxic love triangle of LOK. I literally cant watch this again with reactors. If u torture me with this movie i wld snitch on my own family. The airbending tatts. Zuko with no scar and him being brown (im southeast brown i can comment on it without being canceled lmao). Im dead. I complained too much im sorry. I wont complain about Fboy Mako and childish Korra again😭😂

Enjoy your vacation at Lake Laogai

At least this movie's way better than dragonball:evolution.

I still remember in the row in front of me at the theaters, this little girl halfway through the movie turned to her dad and asked "...can we leave?" This movie was just heartbreaking....

Shyamalan takes complete writing credit (and direction, production). This is his baby. The original writers advised M. Night initially but completely got frozen out of the process very early on - and I think they were happy to be rid of it. They are on record as disliking the end product (though they usually don't talk about it when it comes up). They had to be given credit as executive producers though since it was derived from the original show.

Gross. I got an anti-LGBTQ+ ad in the middle of this. 😖

22:39 I thought she didn’t watch the movie before ??

The one thing I thought could have gone right with this movie was Summer Bishil as Azula. She was ICONIC as Margot in "The Magicians" TV show and I think she could have done Azula justice if she was given the chance, despite already being too old for the role.

Hahaha you may now be knighted as a real ATLA fan 🤣🤣🤣🤣.... I remember waiting for the DVD to rent and being so annoyed after watching it. Wanted to throw the disc out the window. 🤣🤣

Can y’all react to the avatar chibi shorts ?

Why did you do this to yourselves? Lol 🥴

Pretty sure it counts as domestic abuse

One of the (many) reasons this movie sucks is the amount of narration Katara needs to do because the movie is failing to explain what's going on. Lots of tell, no show.

42:51 All those dancing earth benders wasn't the one bending that one tiny rock. It was the one dude that the camera panned to that was bending the rock. Those dancing earth benders were the one that put up the giant wall to protects the other dude. Still a bad scene though LOL...

I'm not sure it's true, but I recall reading or hearing somewhere that either M. Night or whoever was in charge of casting owed the father of the girl playing Katara a favor, which was paid by casting her, then everyone else in the water tribe had to be cast based on making her fit in. 42:12 This, I think, is part of why in the show, Azula has an entire subplot added in the Netflix series (beyond child labour laws limiting how much Team Avatar could film); in this film Summer Bishil was cast as one of the biggest villains of the franchise (if we consider that Zuko isn't really a villain in Book 2 until the end then she is _the_ most prominent villain), and gets two scenes and a single line of dialouge and because of the fact that the sequel never happened, that was it, that's all she got. I imagine that will have been a huge dissapointment. As it wasn't until after the first season aired that the second and third were greenlit, so they didn't want to run the risk of putting Elizabeth Yu throught the same thing.

Oh.. oh no... how did we end up here. Edit: DAMN the Roku edit was too funny

This film is soooo disrespectful. I remember I went full critic on this and I was a MIDDLE SCHOOLER!!!

Having watched some background scenes they really made Aangs actor hella stiff and serious. He acts more like Aang in the behind the scenes being playful and a prankster 😭😭

there is no movie in ba sing se

My name is ong

I agree with Dee, I also think the Yue in this movie is the cutest 🥰

This is such a good comedy. I don't know why people shit on it. This IS a comedy, right?

so you chose suffering, huh...

I feel the biggest thing that kills this movie's action is M. Night trying to do so many one-takes where he's doing all these pans and you constantly see actors getting into next position and trying to time things on beat that everything ranges from slow to borishly predictable. There's never any street fight frenzy to the action. It's certainly possible to do one-takes correctly (e.g. Daredevil hallway fight), but M. Night's attempt just held everything back.

The Nostalgia Critic said it best during the Earthbenders prison camp. Why the heck are they captives when they are surrounded by earth, whilst in the show, they're oppressed because they're on a metal boat with little to no earth to bend. Then also, why the heck does it take a group of them to bend a small rock, when a single Earthbender can flip a Fire nation tank. This amongst so many issues with this adaptation.

Fun fact: the actress plays Yue in this also voices Asami in Korra

Awesome! You've shared the trauma of sitting through that mess! In theaters we were mostly just sitting there in disbelief. Shyamalan had made a lot of statements about how he corrected many of the cultural elements he felt the cartoon got wrong including the pronunciations of things...and it just turned the film into a huge insult to fans and the original show.

Oh man, I remember tagging along with my friends who were fans of the show at the time to see this movie in theaters (I’ve never seen it until recently) and we walked out like not even half way through and we hopped into another theater to see something else 😂

Best Avatar parody movie ever 🤡 The best part of this movie is small rock dance group. after watching this, Netflix's Avatar looks like a masterpiece 👍

Oh, God girls good luck you sacrificed yourself 😂

I literally skipped to the end for your review cuz I just couldn't sit thru watching that again lol. I went to see this in theaters 🤢The bigger screen makes it look even more lame. I feel sorry for all the actors in this, they were not given good dialog and that's something I feel M.Night has struggled with in many of his movies. He was not the right choice for this movie, he had only been doing smaller scale horror suspense movies before this and he likely took this big budget action movie because it's a big paycheck & the studio offered it. I know he says his daughter was a fan but he clearly wasn't one or respected the source material. They needed to go for a director that could pull off a big martial arts action movie but maintain a childlike sense of adventure while being respectful to the serious themes. I don't know a lot of directors but they need a Chris Columbus type (he did the first 2 Harry Potter movies and was a really good child actor or new to acting mentor on those. Many of the cast spoke highly of him) or even a Spielberg (he would've likely given a cameo like Dante Bosco as they worked on the movie Hook together).

Great reaction to this movie. We all know the storyline & directing was👎🏼 but hey I’ve enjoyed you both reactions to this movie.💯💯🍻💯😋😁🤭

I had to look this up. LOK came out in 2012. So two years after this monster. Asami’s va probably sounds a little different.

M night said "Names culturally accurate" yet in south asia, the pronounciations are in fact NOT like this. yes its some people but not all of south asia. So m night F'ed up yes there are south asian characters in original atla and tlok but changing the pronounciations are bs

All the issues are entirely director and writer issues. Bad pacing, weird names, weird casting. Even if the actors do their best, they don't have anything to work with since the pacing is wrong.

I watched with my expectations so low that they were next to dinosaur bones and I was still disappointed. Each time they mispronounced the names felt like a physical blow.

If they made this movie a Comedy to make fun of Avatar The Last AirBender the movie would’ve been more successful.

I read an article that said originally M Nights script got the original creators approval but then the production company began slowly icing them out. Not sure what happened after that

Here's a like for suffering through this alone.

I remember watching this in theaters had to pay more cause it was in three d and fell asleep in the first viewing so they got double my money cause I had to see it again and was like I'm not falling asleep this time cause I wanted to see it all cause loved the show initially was mixed cause everyone hated it I didn't but I can see what everyone is saying its basically the same story lol has funny moments lol

The OG creators said that the movie was made without their go-ahead. They were also pushed away when they tried to give advice on the creative direction

Actress who played Yue did fine. Everything else was bad.

I hope everyone drank plenty of liquor while watching this.

I hate to be that guy but after watching the new live action, some of things in this movie actually seem good now lol both not good tho

I think having friends watch this after the OG series is just to bask in shared trauma

Oof, that's cruel...well...you always hurt the ones you love💔

I thought you said the best part was the beginning both of you were like this looks cool lol

Forcing a fiance to watch this cancer seems like a good way not to get any for a month. >

You know i actually want to see a s2 and 3 of this horror show for just became

You def gotta remeber this was made in the time everyone tried to be inclusive

Please react to kingdom of heaven 2005

Not sure which is worse, this or Dragonball evolution

It is impossibly to like that movie - if you have seen the animated series.

I cringed so hard that I couldn’t finish the video.

Oh Jesus lord God, no... but yeah everyone has to watch this to see how awful it is.

I gotta take a break from this and go watch the Netflix one… omg

The weddings off! For real though how could you do this to her?

There is no live action Last Airbender movie in Ba Sing Sa

tbh i think they made this movie out of spite 😭😭😭😭

This is going to be terrible lol

The one rock scene takes me out every time😂

Why oh why would you do such a thing to her!! LOL!!!
