Noëlle D. Lilley Chicago Reader 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... Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Devan Coggan 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- Feb 23, 2024 Full Review Laura Babiak Observer The Netflix adaptation is far from a disaster, but it doesn’t master the elements that made the original so good. Feb 23, 2024 Full Review Ed Power Irish Times 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. Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Lindsay Press Culturess 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. Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Stacey Yvonne Wealth of Geeks At its best, Avatar: The Last Airbender proved that the premise was a fantastic story with lots of potential. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Raul C. 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/26/25 Full Review Stephen C 8 successful Netflix episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated TV-14 for Intense Violence (V)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/24/25 Full Review Tasks F 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review Charlie S 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Audience Member Netflix’s live-action remake of Avatar: The Last Airbender is a commendable effort to reimagine a beloved animated classic. I give it 4 stars. While the series is generally well-produced, the first season feels rushed. In my view, too many important story arcs are compressed or skipped entirely, and that takes away from the depth of the world and its characters. Some of the emotional moments and themes that made the original so impactful—like balance, personal growth, and connection—don’t land the same way here. That said, I still think this is the best adaptation attempt so far, and I’m optimistic about the next two seasons. With the story already planned to continue, I’m hopeful they’ll take more time to let the characters and world breathe. This version isn’t a replacement for the original series, but it works as an entertaining live-action rendition. Personally, I think the best possible release would be the original animated series with updated visuals—it still holds up that well. Even so, I really appreciate Netflix’s effort to bring the world of Avatar back. I hope they’ve listened to feedback and are working on two fantastic follow-up seasons. If so, this could turn into something truly special.
