12 Movies So Bad That They Are Actually Funny
3. The Last Airbender
Fans of the animation it’s based on complained that key characters were missing and that it didn’t capture the spirit of the original.
Fans of M. Night Shyamalan couldn’t believe that the man behind awesome movies like “The Sixth Sense” could be connected with such a turkey.

Incredibly, the movie managed to gross more than double its budget of $150 million despite being regarded as one of the worst movies of all time. The movie was also heavily criticised for casting white actors in the main roles as the original story features Asian characters.
