"I should've gone and seen Twilight." You know a movie sucks when a grown man can say that and have people agree with him.

"I want my money back. Matter of fact I want my hair back"

The dude in the fedora just spitting legendary facts. "There was a young lady dressed as a kyoshi warrior and she's actually taking her constume off because SHE WASN'T EVEN IN THE MOVIE" straight buried me 💀

I remember paying for an early pre-release showing of the film - tickets were more expensive and limited seating, etc., but the theater was packed with the most loyal of the ATLA anime crowd. The opening theme rolled: the room erupted into cheers, costumed kids and cosplay adults alike shouting and smiling: you could feel the excitement and eagerness - and shortly thereafter the silence, the sighs, and the dispirited enervation. After the movie, we somehow all simultaneously congregated outside that theater, most of us absolute strangers, and just vented for hours together about how terribly this movie sucked. In that time, we shared ATLA anime stories and personal tales, people played music and danced: it was the best damn part of a really lousy experience.

"The movie wouldnt be as bad as it is, if they would just call him AANG! ONCE!!!" I love that guy 😂😂😂😂

Honestly? The Kyoshi Warriors were lucky they weren't in the movie.

Fun fact: One critic who panned M. Night Shyamalan’s Lady in the Water said that if Shyamalan wanted his children to judge the quality of his work, he should start making movies for Nickelodeon. Little did he know that would prove to be an even worse idea.

Watching this now, it honestly feels like a breath of fresh air to see people give their honest opinions about a movie instead of paying them off.

1:36 "I should have gone and seen twilight" Biggest insult to the series ive heard in this montage. Wow. It was THAT bad, huh?

Long ago, fans of Avatar lived together in harmony... ...then...everything changed when the Sychamalamadingdong attacked.

My sister and I were SO EXCITED to see this, went to the midnight showing and everything...we left the theater in complete shocked/enraged silence, sat down in the car, turned to one another, and said “That...wasn’t a good movie.” Single most heinous thing to ever be shat onto the big screen, and I’ve seen some STINKERS in my day.

That guy saying *YES* at 0:47 😂

You know everything you loved about the cartoon? This has none of it.

It's been 7 years and I'm still not over how much this movie sucked 😂😂😂

This was when people truly found out that animation should never be turned into live action

13 years later and this still makes me laugh.

The dude shaved his head for this, respect.

A guy said he would have rather seen Twilight than this. ...wow

This is such a beautiful time capsule of 2010

The four nations now live in harmony because they all agreed that this movie SUCKED

Fun fact: I remember watching an interview with Shayamalan, and he was asked why he didn't include the Kyoshi warriors. He said that he loved them too much in the cartoon, and that he just couldn't put them in the film because he would've given "too much attention" to the kyoshi warriors, so he thought it best to not use them at all. Shayamalan, just tell the truth and admit you didn't know what the honest f**k you were doing when making this film and you didn't include them because you were lazy and rushed the whole movie.

I still feel bad for the woman in the Kyoshi-Warrior costume, after over 10 years. ☠️

The creators of the show, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, served as executive producers and were initially supportive of the film production. However, both of them ended up being very unsatisfied with the finished product. In a podcast interview from 2014, Konietzko revealed that "A) We didn't want it to be done at all. Before anyone was attached, we didn't want it. And then B) If it was going to be done, we wanted to do it, but they weren't going to let us. C) When they attached Night, we just thought, 'Well, this is what we've been dealt. We'll just offer help when it's asked of us, and if it's not, we'll stay out of the way.' In the beginning, it was more positive and we offered help, but then we had a big falling out." They've even mentioned how they gave a lot of input that went nowhere as it all got pushed to the wayside. No wonder it was sooo bad!

I miss 2010 so much where everyone agreed on hating on an actual bad movie with actual good points. Nowadays, people will like a great movie and hate on it a couple of months later for no reason and attack others for still liking it smh

Ember island players > M night shamalamadingdong

It’s been 10 years, still no one likes this movie

I finally watched the series and now I understand their anger and disappointment.

when that one guy said "AAANG!!!!" I felt that

It's pretty bad if people would rather watch Twilight than this movie.

I feel so bad for the women dressed as a Kyoshi warrior she didn’t deserve to see that awful movie also watching it gave me a mental breakdown to the point I almost burned down Walmart and got arrested

The worst part is: M Night blames us for not liking the movie and takes no accountability for ruining it

Man life was so much different then

Even the kids want to "Tear down M. Night. Shyamalan". Lol!

It was so bad, the anime club at my school denies that the movie exists.

The coolest scene in The Last Airbender is when the credits rolled

0:49 I just love that there just a guy in the background that goes “yeah!” After he said that.

Dante (zuko) and the voice of katara (forgot her name) said it themselves not to see the movie lmfao ''worst play ever'' yeah that was terrible'' ''but the effects were decent'' - Sokka

who's watching this on youtube ...six years later

The fans had more personality than the Shyamalan movie.

It’s been over 10 years and I’m still severely traumatized and scarred from the devastation that The movie has done to the franchise.

random guy: THE MOVIE COULD’VE BEEN AS BAD AS IT IS, BUT IF THEY HAD JUST CALLED HIM AANG ONCE... me: ONCE, JUST FRICKIN ONCE

What I remember pissing me off a lot about the movie was No Warriors of Kyoshi...... Wtf where is Suki!!!!??

0:04 that poor girl that dressed up as suki, and suki wasn’t in the film!!

Even if you disregard the cartoon and judge the film on its own merits, it’s still terrible.

the guy who said "i should have seen twilight" holy shit, I can really feel your pain.

June Cosplayer:"June wasn't in the movie 😡." Another guy:"Their was a young lady dressed as a Kyoshi Warrior and shes now taking her costume off because she wasn't in the movie." Me: Gosh be grateful they were spared.

13 years later and the rage and hatred for this movie is still strong.

This movie is a complete insult to one of the greatest animated series of all time. It truly earned those 5 Razzie Awards

That dude gets what I was saying the entire movie "It's AANG!"

The Ember Island Players > The Last Airbender

It's not an adaptation of ATLA. It's an adaptation of the Ember Island play.

Because of this movie I learned a very harsh lesson. Just because Hollywood makes a movie out of something uniquely amazing and timeles, it DOES NOT mean it will be good! It still hurts

That big guy with the glasses and hat on was awesome XD

All these fans stated every single thing that is wrong with this movie

*The fact that even the kids hate it*

I didn't think fedora guys existed in real life. 2011 was truly a wild-ass year.

What makes me so angry is that they missed an opportunity for an epic trilogy. The story has the potential to be another lord of the rings. The material was already there, but they FAILED! The actors sucked, the pacing was pathetic, they left out so much good material. This is what happens when movie studios just don't care! Whoever directed the Avengers, should have directed this movie.

0:49 that guy shouts "YEAH!" lol

If star was fans were this honest the world be a better place

I always remember James Willems story about how he worked proof-viewing DVD movies before their respective DVD releases for encoding errors and audio problems. He says after 10 minutes he just turned off the screen and said "No one will watch past this point. No one will find out if I fuck up this job".

to be honest, the entire Airbender franchise needs to be about five or six movies. You can't fit the entire book on in one movie. There is too much ground to cover. The first movie should be about Aang waking up and seeing how the fire nation has destroyed his city and how people resent him for his absence. We have to see the Kyoshi Warriors and Jet and his band of rebels. We have to meet Roku and Kyoshi and the movie ends. The Northern Water Tribe shouldn't be reached until the 2nd movie. That way you have more time to develop Sokka and Yue's relationship. You can introduce Katara's journey to be taught by her master. Aang didn't even meet the Firebending master that caused him to fear fire. We weren't even introduced to Katara's healing ability. We didn't even get to meet Sokka's boo (whose name I forgot) and she's an integral part of the finale. We should NEVER see the fire lord's face. Only his silhouette and the fire nation palace shouldn't be so vibrant. IT should be dark. UGH, maybe I should make this movie.

I would have loved if the last person he interviewed was M. Night Shamaylan in a fake moustache and glasses saying "I thought it was good".

I was kind of in shock. Like proper shock, didn't know how to react. How could a movie based on something I love go so wrong? It's when I learned that movies could be terrible.

I just loved that one Redditor who was so angry about how they got Aang's name wrong and pointed out the kyoshi cosplayer like i hope he's doing well

Guy: "if they had just called him aang once!" Guy in background: "yeah"

the last bit was the best. I feel sorry for the actor that played Aang. In the behind the scenes you can see that he is pretty much like Aang in real life but then Shamalan come along and told him to act different. It would have been better if it was directed my someone else.The pronunciation of Aang name was wrong and it really annoyed me.

Pre-2012 was golden era

When a grown-ass-man says he would rather see twighlight, than you know the movie is bad.

Here's what the need to do. Destroy all evidence off is movie. Hire a new director. Restart. Make like 8 movies that are actually good

i never get tired of this video, always come back to it when i need a good laugh

This is more entertaining than the movie. But the movie is misunderstood- it’s actually a brilliant comedy. The funniest part was M. Night Shamalyan called it a great movie.

This video has to be preserved for future generations. It's incredible.

I love that the guy in the fedora is the most pissed off. I’m so happy I haven’t seen this movie and glad I’ve only watched the animated series

Thank you Doug for sending me here! ^^

There's something so nostalgic to me about watching the initial audience reactions of this movie. 2010 was such a great year for cinema, even the absolutely terrible films were so fun to make fun of. I'd give a lot to go back to 2010 as an adult.

“I should’ve gone and seen Twilight” That’s a Fat Suplex

Guys, we can all agree ember island play was much better that that movie

"Why the hell did they call me Ung, that's like the noise I make when I take a SHIT!" ~AANG "Hey, you thought you had it bad, I was played by a guy who looked like he worked for customer support!" ~Zuko

I think it can be entirely summed up in this one Roger Ebert quote "The laws of chance suggest that something should have gone right. Not here."

14 years later and it’s still hated, hopefully the series won’t

I saw this when it came out. I still want my money back...

0:43 absolute legend, I feel your pain

Keep this in mind - I was 9 when I watched it in theaters and I stilll thought it sucked.

Haha, I remember how hard I tried to like this movie, my mom got me the dvd, I watched it a few times but It always made me so sleepy.

I had GOOSEBUMPS for it all the while I was watching the trailers over and over again. I was SO excited because I was like "OMG!! the bending... AH!" They even managed to make it look like it really does in the TV show in the trailers... and then... I saw the movie. And I was stabbed, 50 gazillion times, in the heart.

I'm here because of the Nostalgia Critic Real Thoughts on Avatar TLA I love that dude in the glasses and hat XD

After 12 years, people's thoughts on the live action LAST AIRBENDER movie is totally better than watching it for yourself and being bored to death. Love this dude's thoughts - 0:35 to 0:40 and this guy!!! 0:44 to 0:49 Yeah!!! 🤣🤣

I was an extra in this movie. I was supposed to have a bigger part but I broke my leg. I showed up in a cast to filming and I was positive they weren’t going to involve me. M night didn’t care he sat me at the table in the ship scene.

0:48 that one guy that yelled "YES!"

i still haven't watched it, but i bet its like that episode of TLAB when theyre at the theatre and watching themselves being badly represented. lol

Even after 13 years, this video is still better than the whole movie

A friend of mine saw the midnight premiere of this movie with her friend, who cosplayed as Katara. When the movie was over, they went to use the bathroom, and the poor girl tore her hair loopies down saying, “This. Movie. Was. Not. Worth. HAIR LOOPIES!” To put all that work into a costume and have it be for nothing… 😑😔

This movie would have been better if the "surprisingly knowledgeable merchant of cabbage" (according to ember island players) had directed it 😪

this is the greatest movie review ever. it really captured the audience affection to the film. i could not have agreed more with the result. i feel sorry for the fans. lol

1:26 "I want my money back.. and I actually wish I had my hair back too". OOOFF 😬

I remember when I was 13, I was supposed to see this movie in theaters with my dad but got sick on the way so we never saw it. I saw it on Amazon the other day & I kind of regret it

“I wish I had my hair back”

What they should’ve done is instead of making a movie based on the first season they should’ve made a movie about Aang before he ran away. Growing up as a monk. And then ending with him making the ball around himself and Appa and ending there or maybe ending on the cliff hanger of waking up to Katara. Fleshing our Aangs story would’ve made it a much more forgiving task since there isn’t much to compare it too. This should’ve ended up being as many movies as Harry Potter. On the other hand I’m glad it didn’t because now the original creators are remastering the series in live action on Netflix and there are getting GOT levels of money to do it and they said “this time we won’t have to white wash it like before.” Plus they had nothing to do with and hated the movie as much as everyone else.

Guy at the end, "Yeahhhhh.... they didn't like it. *end*" lmao

The worst part too me was definitely how cheesy it was. For example, when Aang said "oh no, I must stop them" like a literal robot.
