RA Streetlight: The Last Airbender (2010)

In our Podcast Series Review Avenue Streetlight, we discuss and dissect a different film each episode. We go through the film in depth, discussing the plot and pivotal scenes so fair warning for SPOILERS!

On this episode, we’re talking M. Night Shyamalan’s elemental abomination The Last Airbender. Frequently featuring on many ‘Worst Films of All Time’ lists, we question whether it really is as bad as it reputation suggests, discuss M Night’s turbulent career as a whole and struggle over character pronunciations. Also, in the fourth round of our quizzing, can Oliver finally chalk up a win?

We’d love to hear your thoughts on the episode and of the film itself. You can:

Come Away

by Sean Burton on December 16, 2020

The only stardust comes from its A-lister names, but Come Away isn't without its charm. Although with an abundance of entries in their respective Intellectual Properties, one does have to wonder why it even exists in the first place.

Mulan (2020)

by Oliver Woodings on September 7, 2020

Like Mulan herself, this remake pretends to be something it's not: Exciting and new. Whatever you thought of the 1998 Animated version is likely what you'll think of this new incarnation too.

Valhalla: Legend of Thor

by Sean Burton on June 24, 2020

Valhalla's occasional pedestrian pacing and absence of action makes it unlikely to storm to the top of anyone's 'Best Of' lists, but there's enough here that make it worth forking out for.

Artemis Fowl

All cluck and no play makes Fowl a dull boy.

The Iron Mask

by Sean Burton on June 3, 2020

Considering The Iron Mask keeps its main draw chained up in a cell, this action-stuffed CGI globetrotter could have done with some restraint with its bloated and incoherent plot.
