M. Night Shyamalan Finally Made A Comedy

[permetaform]

"This is the part where I would insert a quick plot synopsis of the film, but it's really unnecessary - Shyamalan has boiled every epic heroic story of the past 20 years down to its most basic, primal soup-y essence, so he can spray it all over the audience, in a kind of Hero's-Journey bukkake. You will be finding chunks of Joseph Campbell's calcified spooge behind your ears for three days after watching this film, no matter how many times you bathe.

Shyamalan's true achievement in this film is that he takes a thrilling cult TV series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and he systematically leaches all the personality and soul out of it — in order to create something generic enough to serve as a universal spoof of every epic, ever."

I'm not used to feeling so OK with this much glee over such all round FAIL! I tend to feel sorry for them but now? NO WAY! XD

God so much fail. And I'm so glad it's so full of Obvious Fail that everyone's throwing tomatoes at it. XD
