What I find nice is that, even amongst all the critical lambasting, the only positive thing to come out of this is that apparently Dev Patel's Zuko is, through acting alone, just as nuanced as his animated counterpart. This pretty much validates my faith that Dev Patel can do anything, as it seems to me that M. Night Shyamalan leaves any scene in which there is good acting on the cutting room floor.
To counterpoint and invalidate myself, I have to note that Signs was my last MNS movie, and I liked it a lot more than the public did.
