Which movie adapdation is less bad, the Last Airbenders or Jem and the Holograms?
I say Jem and the Holograms, because if you changed the names of the characters and sell the script as an original script (which is what it really is), you can sell it to Disney and make a good Disney Channel original movie.
Last Airbender is just terrible film structure, nothing about talking and bad action, terrible pacing, and what not.
I say this Last Airbender is a better bad movie, a lot of more intresting stuff to make fun of, while Jem and the Holograms outside of the father's favortism and the heist, it is boring.

I haven't seen either movie so I'm not sure which is less bad but I can at least say the Last Airbender at least somewhat vaguely resembles the source material while Jem & the Holograms seems to be an "in name only" adaptation.

I agree there, Last Airbender better adaptation (though that is not saying much) but if each were non adapation, Jem and the Holograms is more resmbles a movie, though those You Tube videos didn't help.

Both are complete garbage, but Airbender was a better adaptation.
It's kind of sad that the Jem movie is much less like Jem than Hannah Montana was.

They're both horrible but if Jem didn't have that brand attached to it like that was already said it would be a decent Disney Channel or Nickelodeon original movie. Making that shit a Jem movie is what killed it.

Jem and The Holograms is bad, but without the idea of it as an adaptation, it just looks like any other bland, but serviceable teen movie. The Last Airbender is not only terrible and unloyal to it's premise, it's racist in it's casting.

Jem barely followed the source material.
TLA took 20 episodes worth of source material, threw out all the ones that gave the characters depth and development, and tried to turn what was left into a 2 hour movie. Also, they mispronounced two of the three main character's names.
Nobody wins.

Last Airbender at least tried to actually adapt its source material and as a production is fairly impressive due to some killer prop work, plus is just more grandiose in general. Jem is just some crappy teen thing they slapped the name on.
Last Airbender's not good at all, but at least you can see a resemblance to what it was supposed to be.

I can't believe I am saying, but I thought Jem and the Holograms better acting, it resemble professional actors, while Last Airbender only the Fire Nation especially Zuko seemed like they gave a dam, the acting especially from our heroes were so wooden, in the words of the Nostalic Critic it seemed like a school play. And I am sorry they tell me Katara was Aang's love interest in the movie, sorry I really didn't see any romantic tension at all in that movie. Of course giving his track record, most of that might be because of the director.
