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...

B-

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.

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.

I know now why the writer of the original series left netflix. Sokka was a man who developed the hole first season in the animated series, and this show they potrayed as an misogynistic a-h***. Then what was that with omashu? i had to stop watching and watched the original again.

You've turned a martial art into some wizardry magic. You destroyed the essence of the original while claiming this is an "adaptation". It would have been better if you used a different title and completely sever any relation with the source material.

It was a great adaption. Pretty much spot on really. I think they hit most of the plot points and adventures. I was pleasantly surprised. how well the actors were dead ringers from what I remember of the original series and acted like them too. The CGI was top notch in my book. The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars was, they totally missed the point of Aang learning water bending. I really don't understand why it has such a low score, because it's literally the live action version of the animation.

Great movie has some inconsistencies from the source material but I love the casting and the pacing of the movie

As far as anime adaptations go, it's quite solid. EXCEPT, the writer seems to have forgotten the entire point of the season. Aang is an avatar, who can learn all 4 elements. At the beginning, he can only control air. Each season, he learns a new element. Yet, for some reason, he never even starts to learn waterbending. How do you mess this up? THAT'S THE POINT OF THE SHOW

Ummm hum👎🏻 it wasn't what I expected. It was good at first, but by the time the whole season was over it was really boring.😮‍💨 Because we, the audience, expected something good from Avatar, at least at the end of the series. The entire season has shown the Avatar as being completely inept and weak.🍼 On the contrary, in the animated series, the Avatar was very agile and strong.👊🏻💪🏻❤️‍🔥💥 So this Netflix series seems a bit boring. Hopefully we'll see something good in the next season.🙌🏻
