10 Worst Summer Movies Of All Time

3. The Last Airbender

Transformers Bumblebee2
Paramount Pictures

Release Date: 1 July 2010

Now let’s get this right: there are four nations – Water, Earth, Air and Fire – and the Avatar is the only person who can control and unite them. A hundred years ago, he mysteriously vanished, but it turned out that he was trapped under the ice in a giant sphere all along and now the villainous Fire Nation are hunting the Avatar for oh some reason.

Is this movie gibberish or what?

You know you’re in trouble when after being informed that the Spirit World kept balance in this universe, a character who asks what the Spirit World actually is gets told, “It’s not a place made up of things you can touch. But it exists, nonetheless.”

The latest in a string of anti-masterpieces, The Last Airbender is so bad that you suspect M Night Shyamalan must be sending himself up. How else do you explain dialogue such as “I offer my condolences on your nephew burning to death in that terrible accident.”
