125: We're Wrong About... The Last Airbender (Movie Discussion)

1/26/2023
Superstar writer, director, and producer M. Night Shyamalan has been entertaining audiences for nearly three decades and with that comes mega-hits and huge misses. His new movie 'Knock at the Cabin' hits theaters in February and is already looking to crush it at the box office, so we decided to take a look back at his most ambitious film to date: 'The Last Airbender.' 'The Last Airbender' from 2010 is often cited as one of the worst movies of all time and has an abysmal 5% Rotten rating on the Tomatometer. Many people agree that this movie completely missed the mark when Shyamalan tried to adapt it from the original anime, but do our panelists agree with the majority of moviegoers? Guest Steph Sabraw joins Mark and Jacqueline to discuss 'The Last Airbender' and the critical reception of it all on today's shot!
