The
Last Airbender has all the earmarks for a great
piece of entertainment but fails in its presentation and universal appeal. The
acting works at below par. While M. Night Shymalan movies (like Signs and
The Sixth Sense) sets expectations for great entertainment, this one
does not make the grade.

Maybe.
Unbreakable works at a much higher entertainment level than this movie.
