Poorly designed movie

Speaking of bad designs, The Last Airbender is one of the most poorly designed featured film I have ever seen.  Being a person who watched the television series, I thought that this movie would have been at least decent.  However, it did not turn out the way I expected.  I tried detaching myself from the television series thinking I was just expecting too much.  That actually made it worse.  The only reason why I remotely enjoyed (I'm using this term very loosely.) is because it had something to do with the television series.

Moving to the reasons why this movie was so poorly designed is it's pacing.  This movie had a horrible pace and barely any exposition.  Who are these characters?  I'm not even too sure even though I had background knowledge.  People who I've asked who watched this movie without watching the television series were confused throughout the movie with questions unanswered.  Furthermore, there were no attachments to any of the characters.  None of the characters were loveable, hated, nothing to make us sympathetic to them.  It was a whole cluster fest of who's who, what's going on, why is this happening, and what reasons are things happening?

In my opinion, the main selling point for this was the special effects and 3-D.  The 3-D capabilities weren't even that apparent.  3-D is such a novelty gimmick, but if you're going to use it, use it to it's full potential.  The special effects were decent, but not great and the martial arts were not even correct from what I've heard.  There was so much delay in between the motion of the martial arts and the movement of the elements, that you'll might as well pull out a gun and shoot the person before they even perform their great feat.  You could even just pull out a sword and run to them before the elements were manipulated.  It could not be taken seriously especially with the poor acting skills.  Let's not even get started in the obvious fake emotions being portrayed in this movie.  In addition to that, were the horrible costumes.  They looked almost as fake as the acting in some characters.  One of the characters was obviously wearing a bad wig, and couldn't get it on correctly.  I was able to see her real hair at some points.  How could you even let that get in your movie with such a bad blooper?  The costume looks cheaply made.  Here is an example:

Comparing these costumes is like comparing the costumes I'm about to provide below.

The top is the concept art, the middle is the amateur fan-made costume that looks cheaply put together, and the bottom is the better fan-made costume.  The middle is what makes me think of The Last Airbender's costume and the bottom represents what it should have looked like.  Overall, The Last Airbender, was a poorly designed movie in many aspects.
