The 2010 adaptation of Nickelodeon's Avatar The Last Airbender is one of the worst films I've ever seen. I remember being excited to see it because of the trailers and ads, but it ended up being a an awful mess with a rushed plot, terrible pacing, horrible dialogue and acting, mostly unfinished looking CGI, poor character development, and just plain soulless. Many people (Myself included) believe it's M Night's worst made film, but is it really all his fault?
Well if stories are to be believed, the answer actually might be no. Not a lot of people seem to know this, but a few years ago it got reported that the production of the Airbender film was a very troubled one. Apparently, M Night was really passionate to make this film as he and his family are huge fans of the cartoon, but several producers forced changes to the script and casting choices that he didn't want. That also lead into the some of the casting and race controversies the movie received before and during it's release. Also, they were forced to change filming locations, ILM had trouble rendering the VFX, the budget was changed, and they cut out about half an hour of footage because they wouldn't be able to post convert all of the scenes they filmed into crappy 3D. All of this proved to be a miserable experience for M Night and other members of the crew and they lost enthusiasm for the film because of it.
I believe these stories. The movie is so bad that I can't see it just being one person's fault and it would explain several of the film's issues. Now I'm not saying this makes M Night blameless, but it also shows that he may not have been the main source of the problems.
