M. Night Shyamalan Explains Why U.S. Critics Didn’t “Get” ‘The Last Airbender’

[Foggy]

I really don't like how this interview has become "M. Night says the critics are wrong?"

The interviewer asked him about the scathing reviews and he had to come up with something to sell the film despite the critical lambasting, he's not going to throw his hands up in the air and say "Well they're entitled to their opinion...".

Should he come up with a better, less pompous answer? One that makes more sense and belittles no one in the process? Yes. But I just think he's trying to sell a film he made (a film he probably enjoyed making as well) and he was trying to use that passion to explain a way that convinces people the film he made was at least worth watching.
