Jackson Rathbone: "Art is subjective"

Jackson Rathbone has slammed critics who gave a negative review to M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender.

The actor, who plays the role of Sokka in the film, told MTV News that he believes that the director's lack of success is confined to the American market and pointed to his success in foreign cinemas.

"The critics in the US... I just don't think they really like M. Night Shyamalan anymore. I don't know why. It's sad because he's such an amazing director and an amazing person," he explained.

"It was interesting, the reception with The Last Airbender, because they did extremely well with the US domestic box office and even better than expected overseas. Overseas, internationally, they still love him and think his work is genius."

He added: "It's just one of those things. Art is subjective."

Rathbone recently said that he has "respected and admired" Shyamalan's directing talent for many years.
