Uh, the people behind The Legend of Korra *are* the same people behind A:tLA albeit screwed over for having a female protagonist by the exact same network (see Trivia/Executive Meddling pages.)
Other than that, yes I agree.

Why The Last Airbender Is One Of The Worst Films I Have Ever Seen
Avatar: The Last Airbender is a pure example of what happens when two entities collide (that being the creators of the show and Nickelodeon) and create something that to this day is considered one of the best shows ever broadcast on TV. The fluid animation, the creative writing and direction, the interesting and likable characters and the heavy amount of research that went into the fighting made for something completely legendary.
Now the movie, that's a different story. Not only did M. Night Shyamalan and his team completely miss the point of the show's appeal but they messed with characters and made a story a total mess. The fight scenes are awkward to watch since it's shot so poorly, it's not worth it. The characters are either dull or infuriating. The CGI feels haphazard even though it was done by Industrial Light and Magic (the guys who did the effects for Star Wars and Roger Rabbit). The movie insults the audience's intelligence by making plot holes that were never in the show.
This is a film I personally consider not just one of the worst adaptations but one of the worst movies I have ever seen. If I were to recommend something instead of this god-awful movie, The Legend of Korra would do the trick. I know it has problems but I think it has personality and the people behind it cared more than this. I feel ashamed of the fact I saw this movie and M. Night Shyamalan should be ashamed.
Just please...avoid this movie and watch the show.
