Well, I think that’s the first time I ever heard anyone remark that I was too nice on a movie I didn’t like. Perhaps I’m losing my touch.

And I couldn’t agree with you more, Greg, about TOY STORY 3. We need to have higher standards on the quality of a children’s movie rather than just using that as a crutch.

Bring up TOY STORY 3, and people immediately say, “Well, that’s different.” The same goes for HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON. Just because a movie is made for kids doesn’t mean it should suck, and we should accept it.

well… i could not agree more w this review. actually… i thought u were being too nice. but that probably because u didn’t watch any episode of the series. i as a young adult watched every episode of every season of the show because it was that good. and this movie takes a shit on everything good about the series. and with that… i ask you to please watch at least the first two episode of the series and tell us what you think. you missed a couple things that were also bad about this movie
- no character development
- improper pronunciation of names
- interesting aspects of the story were never even hinted at

by the way… to Amiee… TOY STORY 3 was a kid’s movie… actually made for audiences under 13… and as an 18 year old… i enjoyed every second of it… so that is no excuse to justify this film

Just because a movie is built for a younger audience doesn’t mean it shouldn’t have to be good.

Are we at the point where we should accept any movie for what it is, even if it sucks, because a 13-year-old doesn’t know any better?

Walking out of the theatre, I spoke to a few young kids who were actually fans of the Nickelodeon series, and they told me that they thought the movie was horrible.

It’s interesting that you bring up a movie like THE NEVERENDING STORY, which was aimed at younger audiences when I was a kid. There’s no comparison between a movie like that and a movie like THE LAST AIRBENDER, because one of them actually made sure to tell a quality story with quality actors.

We should have some type of standards for what we allow our kids to watch. Otherwise, I now know the reason why they seem to keep getting dumber and dumber.

ok, so i agree with the dialogue being kinda lame, and no real need for the 3D graphics….BUT think about this in a 13 year old and under’s perspective. (which I assume is nickelodeons target)Its a pretty good movie! I thought it got decent from the middle to the end. Not gonna lie, seems like a bit of pieces were ripped off from captain planet, lord of the rings, power rangers, and the never ending story. BUT…I will probably go to see the last airbender #2. I liked it…more than sex and the city 2…which really takes the reigns as the worst movie of 2010. haha (i should add that I love the Narnia movies, LOTR movies, and other geeky chilren’s sci-fi flicks) so I wasn’t expecting a masterpiece
