Though it performed respectably at the box office, grossing nearly $130 million since its July 1 release date, M. Night Shyamalan's fantasy flick "The Last Airbender" received an icy reception from critics -- a reaction that star Jackson Rathbone says is undeserved.
"The critics in the U.S. ... I just don't think they really like M. Night Shyamalan anymore," Rathbone told MTV News while on the blue carpet for the 2010 Teen Choice Awards. "I don't know why. It's sad because he's such an amazing director and an amazing person."
