Avatar: The Last Airbender Continues to Impress
[source: Daemon Movies]
M. Night Shyamalan is at it again with his latest offering, The Last Airbender, based on a popular Nickolodean animated series that’s popular with children and many adults. I’ve always been a huge M. Night fan, though critics and most of you didn’t take too kindly to The Village and Lady in the Water. Okay, so maybe I didn’t like Lady too much either. M. Night is much more of a director than a writer, and that’s becoming apparent now that the Last Airbender superbowl TV spot has found its way online. People are raving about it, and I can see why.
M. Night lends his vision to an animated world that is very much in need of a director with vision. It’s a great combination – I was already impressed by the first trailer.

And for those of you who have never heard of it, check out the first trailer.
The action still looks a little silly to me, but the world M. Night is creating seems fantastic, almost similar to what Peter Jackson did with Lord of the Rings. I for one am hoping M. Night is able to bounce back from his recent decline to fulfill the potential everyone knows he has. He certainly has rich source material to draw from that will allow him to focus on what he does best: directing.
Are you impressed by what you see so far in the superbowl commercial and teaser trailer?
