Today, my oldest son and I went to see The Last Airbender, the movie based on the Nickelodeon animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. My son was a huge fan of the series when it ran on Nickelodeon and we were both looking forward to seeing the movie.

The movie was a fun outing for my son and I and worth the cost of admission. Having said that, it could have been more than it was. Entertaining yes, but not a whole lot to offer adults or older kids, even if they were fans of the Nickelodeon series. My son at 11 years old, in fact, is probably in the upper age limit for the target audience of this film. 

With only a few choice scenes with Aang (The Avatar) using his powers and bending elements, I can only say this film was fun to watch with my son. I would not have enjoyed it on my own. My son, however, really liked it but not as much as the other summer movies we have seen to date. 

As the first film in a series, hopefully, the continuation of this franchise will get a bit darker in nature and better.
