1. The Last Airbender (2010)
The Last Airbender is a awful. Yes, you're right to nod. It's so preposterously dire, in fact, that it wasn't even nominated for a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award in 2011, despite the film being produced by Nickelodeon. A film so woefully inadequate that it
was nominated for nine Razzies, and subsequently won five - beating off Twilight: Eclipse's one win the same year. Interestingly, Twilight's win was for actor Jackson Rathbone's lukewarm performance, who also took one home for this film. Not a great Independence Day for him. The Last Airbender still managed to gross $40 million in that weekend. Let's call it $15 a ticket. That equates to well over 2.6 million people who had to suffer this overstuffed, joyless presentation. Here's a few things you could have spent that money on in order to better celebrate: A tank-top with any of the 50 States on it. Lunch for you and a friend. A Doctor Who beach towel. A volume of the original Airbender cartoons. 15 rolls of duct tape from a dollar store so you can bind your own feet and wrists and meditate on just why you went to watch The Last Airbender. A single firework.
Right on? Plain wrong? Let us know what you think, and Happy Independence Day!
