A quite breathtakingly inept hodge-podge of vapid spirituality, playground chopsocky and visual effects that take 3D to an entirely new level: Zero-D.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 18, 2014

This empty, misfired epic from M. Night Shyamalan is boring and strengthens the claim that he is the worst director working in mainstream cinema today.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 16, 2010

How did Shyamalan get it so wrong?

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 19, 2010

The dialogue is tin-eared in the extreme, the 3D is used in a strictly tokenistic fashion and the absolute lack of a sense of irony or humour makes the more solemn scenes all the more laughable.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 19, 2010

Shyamalan takes the beloved source material, strips the characters of all emotion, throws in intrusive narration, douses it in CGI and tries to pass it off as a viable effort.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 13, 2010

After the first five seconds, it seems as if you have been watching it for around two-and-a-half hours, and that this time has passed in four-and-a-half days.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 13, 2010

Airbender's final insult is the unmistakable stench of a sequel that's left to linger in its wake.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 13, 2010

Far from the catastrophe the US bewailed, but still disappointingly clunky.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 12, 2010

One is bored and stupefied by what seems like an eternity of vacuous spectacle, cod-Buddhist tosh and clunking dialogue.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 12, 2010

When nothing you believe or believe in is at stake, your plot-receptor mechanisms close down.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 12, 2010

Dung fu.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 12, 2010

Call M. Night Shyamalan a Wood Bender -- this kiddie cast is as flat and stiff as particle board

| Original Score: D | Jul 2, 2010

[T]he film works so hard to explain its plot developments that it scarcely has any time left over to dramatize them. Exposition has not merely vanquished mimesis, it has burned its homes to the ground and sown salt in its fields.

| Jul 2, 2010

Stilted dialogue, wooden acting, glacial pacing, cheesy special effects, tacky-looking sets, ugly costumes, poorly staged and edited action sequences, all shown in murky, cut-rate 3-D.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jul 2, 2010

A dull, boring, poorly acted, limply written and thoroughly unappealing fantasy, featuring bland characters locked in a struggle of no interest.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jul 1, 2010

M. Night Shyamalan's big-screen live-action version of the popular Nickelodeon animated 온라인카지노추천 series constitutes a form of Chinese water torture in which tin-ear line-readings take the place of drips.

Full Review | Jul 1, 2010

Please, Hollywood, if there's to be another Airbender movie, hand the job to some efficient hack, and not to a once mesmerizing artist who's lost his way.

| Jul 1, 2010

The Last Airbender is like a Care Bears movie that got waylaid in the fourth dimension. It's insufferably silly.

| Original Score: D | Jul 1, 2010

The current national priorities should be as follows: reduce carbon emissions and stop funding the films of M. Night Shyamalan.

| Jul 1, 2010

This is one muddled attempt at franchise-making: confusing, drab, sluggish. (Ugly, too, if you're forced to see it in 3-D.)
