There are a lot of terrible movies out there, but the worst of all the ones I've seen would have to be The Last Airbender. I adored the series on Nickelodeon when I was younger and was very excited to see it turned into a movie. I was disappointed when I actually saw it, though. What was that?
The thing that struck me first was that Katara and Sokka looked nothing like the characters from the TV series. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Katara and Sokka are both colored in the series, in the movie, however, the people chosen to act were white; that doesn't work. Not only that, but was Iroh a Russian? That is not okay!
I can deal with the whole issue with the actors, but as soon as I heard them attempt to pronounce the words they were given in the script, I raged. The whole time I was pondering whether any of the actors had even seen the series. How did they not realize that they were pronouncing everything wrong? At least have your pronounciation down if you're going to make a movie!
Don't even get me started on the bending; they slaughtered it. What happened to the unique martial art styles that the bending was modeled from? Is that not important? They made the bending look stupid and pathetic. Shame on them for wasting so much potential.
