Bad writing, ridiculously poor animation, and a lack of a clear direction makes this attempt at a reboot a loss for Thundercat fans of all ages. If this half-assed attempt is what we are going to get, the brand is better off dead and forgotten.

The first thing I was waiting for was this horrible, gawd-awful movie I heard about to flesh itself out on screen. I read all the reviews, I read about how this one and that were about to walk out halfway through, I watched the lead's eyes to see him "counting" for his queues as I had read on a specific website. But it just never came. The movie wasn't awful. Not one single person walked out in a full theater. At no point did I notice any counting with the lead's eyes. At the end of the film, nobody boo'ed or hissed or dissed.

The second thing I was waiting for was Shyamalan to put into the film what I've always known his movies for - character and atmosphere. "The Last Airbender" felt so rushed that important things like character and atmosphere were grazed over. What I got was another typical summer popcorn movie - one action scene after another with a plot very loosely tied onto it. Very disappointing from a Shyamalan film.

There was no charm, no feeling, nothing to sink my teeth into, nothing to think about later after it was over. This will be the second Shyamalan film that has left me feeling a bit disappointed.

Nothing bad, nothing great - just sort've ho-hum.
