Critics Consensus

Avatar: The Last Airbender serves as a solid live-action entry point into the beloved franchise, although it only sporadically recaptures the magic of its source material.

It's undeniable that Netflix's adaptation is a reminder of how much we missed the world of Avatar. It's still so much fun, and there's still so much to learn with messages that ring even more true today...

Entertainment Weekly

The result is a charming but imperfect adaptation that vastly improves upon the 2010 film — but never soars quite as high as the original animated show.

Rated: B-

Observer

The Netflix adaptation is far from a disaster, but it doesn’t master the elements that made the original so good.

Getting to grips with Avatar sometimes feel like wrestling a giant flying buffalo. But when it does achieve lift-off, this tale of a follicly challenged magic teenager bouncing off clouds is a breath of fresh air.

It understands that the series is working toward Aang's mastering all four elements and what it means to travel the world, pick up new fighting techniques, and make new allies and friends who could come in handy in the battle against the Fire Nation.

At its best, Avatar: The Last Airbender proved that the premise was a fantastic story with lots of potential.

Rated: 3.5/5

Voy a ser honesto: recuerdo poco y nada del anime porque lo vi hace mucho tiempo por lo que salvo conceptos básicos y algún hecho puntual llegue medio a ciegas. Por lo que recuerdo con esta adaptación hay diferencias pero no se si son tantas como para desilusionarme. Buenos efectos, peleas, buen ritmo y momentos emotivos, si tengo que decir algo malo es que por ahí le falta un toque de humor. Mas allá de eso me gusto bastante.

I tried to like it but I guess it just wasn’t my thing. As a huge fan of the original cartoon I enjoyed the balance between joyous moments and seriousness. Unfortunately the remake didn’t do this well.

I don't know why I always try to take away the good shows the last airbender has been a really good show and now the elephant ended on the third season I'll make me sick of this stupid stuff I wish they'd find critics that actually do the critic stuff and not just because they don't like a actor are they cause they don't like this about this director they condemn my show that's actually really good I hate men I hate men I can't even say what I want to say.

They made it way too serious and no humor from the original show and they just deleted certain scenes from the show and I watched original show when I was a kid and I loved it but I can’t recommend it and if you have not watched the original, you should go watch it. It’s is 100x better than this piece of garbage.
