Shyamalan and his team have devised a fantasy environment that's both bland and murky it's not a world that rewards the search for visual grandeur or eccentricity. Actors wander through sets, speak their lines and battle computer-generated beasts without ever convincing the viewer that they are the characters they're playing, let alone that these characters are worth investing an evening in. Oh, the humanity! Where is it in this movie? The lack of vitality and even surface plausibility numbs the senses. The actors who didn't get to be in The Last Airbender are like the passengers who arrived too late to catch the final flight of the Hindenburg. simply means that fewer Asians were humiliated by appearing in what is surely the worst botch of a fantasy epic since Ralph Bakshi's animated desecration of The Lord of the Rings back in 1978. The dearth of racially appropriate casting in the U.S.
Actually, the actors who voice the Asian roles in the TV series are Caucasian too but never mind that, because, yes again, it's a shame the film's producers couldn't find suitable Chinese youngsters among the 500 million or so on earth. Yes, Aang, the show's Chinese hero, is played by a Caucasian boy named Noah Ringer and two other pasty white kids, Nicola Peltz and Jackson Rathbone, were chosen to impersonate Aang's main pals, Katara and Sokka. Yes, the main villain roles among the rapacious Fire People are played by men of Indian descent (as is Shyamalan). Night Shyamalan's live-action movie version of the Nickelodeon animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender.
