Every M. Night Shyamalan Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

12. The Last Airbender (2010)

Shyamalan hit the bottom of the well with this almost universally-loathed live-action take on the beloved animated series. The director seemed totally out of his depth with a $150 million budget, for though his script is easily the worst thing about it, the amateur staging and hilariously awful performances suggest Shyamalan just couldn't direct all the moving parts at this blockbuster level.

The CGI is fine but that's just about it: the action sequences are boring, the characters are forgettable, the cast can't do much with them (poor Dev Patel), and it just feels like a grossly-calculated project on all fronts.

It still made over double its budget at the box office, so it wasn't a total disaster for Shyamalan, and at least it's virtually impossible for him to sink any lower than this dreck...right?
