It’s powerful stuff, and fans of the series will take away additional nuance, since we know what Aang’s decisions lead to, for better and worse. I suspect everyone else will find the film dazzling visually but undercooked in other ways. Read full review

Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender is a lovingly crafted and gorgeously animated movie that features a welcome return for Team Avatar. Read full review

The movie is a must-watch for fans of the original show who have been looking for a way to spend more time with their favorite characters. It stands alone as a transition point between Avatar and Korra, but also feels like it could easily kick off a new adult-focused series that would give the rest of Team Avatar their own glorious moment in the spotlight.

Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender may be just as stunning if not even more visually appealing than the other Avatar franchise it often gets confused with. However, like that franchise, its narrative is just serviceable enough, especially if one isn't already invested in this complex world. Regardless of its narrative issues, which are overall minor compared to other big legacy sequels, the film is so visually riveting that it truly deserved a wider theatrical run. Read full review

It’s a brilliant continuation of the series that matures alongside its characters, rather than trying to do something completely new. After nearly two decades away from the original series, this is a remarkably faithful new story, one that will surely satisfy longtime fans. Read full review

I went into Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender hoping for an all-new adventure with my favorite characters; what I got was a beautiful, but overwrought retread of Aang's biggest themes, and some new worldbuilding about a past Avatar and the Spirit World that was too thin to make me care about it much. There are brief moments of greatness, especially when the whole Gaang gets together, but Avatar Aang doesn't live up to the accolades showered upon the original series. Maybe that was never really an option. Read full review
