Review: Netflix's 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' fails in every way

The year was 2010. Barack Obama was the President.

The only "Tik Tok" song worth talking about was Kesha's song.

And a beloved animated Nickelodeon series comes to life as a live-action film.

Of course, I'm talking about the critically panned 2010 film "The Last Airbender" directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

An adaptation of the beloved 2005-08 series "Avatar: The Last Airbender," Shyamalan's film has become infamous for its failures.

But there was no way that another adaptation of that richly mythological series 

would crash and burn so spectacularly, right?  Look, I wanted Netflix's "Avatar: The 

Last Airbender" (now streaming, ★ out of four), a new live-action series, to be good.
