The Last Airbender (2010)

I sort of wanted to see this movie when I first viewed the trailer and then thought to myself, "Aw this is probably just a corny childrens movie." It is definitely for kids, but I think adults could watch this film as well. It's not a hard movie to follow, but as we are told that a avatar or airbender protects the world, but the last one went missing and the element world has been at war since the fire people waged war against the other elements (Earth, Wind, Water). That is until a girl discovers the last avatar (Noah Ringer) named Aang and he soon comes back to life. The avatar soon realises that things are not the same as he has been asleep for a hundred years or so. The avatar with the help of his water people friends (Nicola Peltz and Jackson Rathbone) decides to fight back and save the other elements. Not if a shamed fire prince (Slumdog Millionaire's Dev Patel) has a say, his mission has been to find the last avatar, if not he could not return to the throne. So, it's basically a game of cat and mouse and then a big anti-climatic war at the end and you've got the idea. The movie also stars Cliff Curtis (Live Free Or Die Hard), Aasif Mandavi (Spiderman 2), and Randall Duk Kim (Kung Fu Panda). I give the movie a B+ because the special effects and the sets are pretty cool.
