What to Know

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... Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Laura Babiak Observer 02/23/2024
The Netflix adaptation is far from a disaster, but it doesn’t master the elements that made the original so good. Go to Full Review
Ed Power Irish Times 04/08/2025
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. Go to Full Review
Lindsay Press Culturess 03/18/2025
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. Go to Full Review

Mr. B @Uijgfcc 2d Bad acting, bad sets, bad casting, bad effects, bad plot made out of an already existing plot, its truly amazing how they had a blueprint for success and butchered it every step of the way. Overall a horrible amalgamation of better ideas done worse, misses every point of every aspect and plot point of the actual show. See more BLTJ T @RT57584740 5d Ok, who the heck cast the female roles??? It's horrendous! Have they ever seen the original avatar? Their looks are awful! I'm a female and feel they totally screwed up and should be fired for their choices. Ruined the whole feel of the show. They guys are ok, though Zuko could have been better. Katara is meh, Azul was awful looking, Mei ...are you kidding me, awful, and the Northern princess was disappointing also (supposed to be etheral, elegant, not whoever they cast, acting was getting not elegant, peaceful). How did they get the girls who should be the easiest wrong. The bounty hunter girl should have been any of the main female characters. Not just their looks but their voice does not have the feel of the characters either. Hope they are replaced in second season and save the show. Right cast: Sokka, lord Ozai. Ok cast: Uncle Iro, Aang. See more Dog D @RT81477349 Apr 4 I feel like this show was made by people who have never seen the original before for people who have never seen the original before. Boring bland script, awful CGI, mediocre acting and full of unnecessary changes that due nothing but worsen the overall experience. Im not sure the show runners have ever heard of character development before but they should look it up. Seem absolutely positively idiotic that they would take a children's cartoon and try and turn it into a live action tv show for adults without any of its quirks, humor, or what made it so beloved in the first place. Then again I don't know why I would expect anything different from Netflix but mediocrity. See more Jaxon P. @RT58775699 Apr 4 Great adaptation in my opinion. More investment in the CGI would do wonders for the series but the story stays pretty consistent with the original. The episodes do feel a little rushed but still easy to follow along. See more Nome C @Gustave Mar 31 A serie adaptou a animacao perfeitamente e ainda foi capaz de responder algumas perguntas See more Keillor M @RT55764706 Mar 31 This live adaptation suffers from constant exposition dumping which manifests into bad dialogue and shaky unnatural acting, and the overall uncertainty of what material to copy and what material to alter from the original series. One does not feel the love and attachment to characters through the brilliant development they undergo in the original- and it is unfortunately quite clear from many overinflated reviews how fans are quick to dismiss these many narrative failures out of blind love for the story they already know. This is unfortunately yet another ill conceived live adaptation of beloved material that was best left unmade. See more Read all reviews
