It is difficult to say what exactly everyone was expecting from director M. Night Shyamalan and his latest work, The Last Airbender. Although, we can be almost certain that they didn’t expect the level of cool that we see in the first teaser trailer.

The folks at USA Today have unleashed the first cast pictures from the upcoming M. Night Shyamalan film The Last Airbender. Included in these first looks is a shot of Slumdog Millionaire Dev Patel as Zuko and Noah Ringer as Aang.

Over the course of the last few months we’ve received somewhere in the vicinity of 9 million emails from activists groups complaining about the casting of M. Night Shyamalan’s live-action adaptation of the hit Nickelodeon cartoon The Last Airbender. They want more Asian castmembers. Well now Dev Patel has been cast… is that good enough?

Directed by a Brit (Danny Boyle), based on a book by a former Indian diplomat and delivered with generous helpings of Bollywood flash and old-fashioned Hollywood-style romantic melodrama, Slumdog Millionaire is one of this year’s movies that will make you believe in the hype, among other things.

Time for another multiple choice review. How this works is I break a review up into 4 different categories and you judge it based on how you rate each particular area in importance.
