I’d say my rating is between a 6 and a 6.5. It’s definitely not as great as many in the fanbase are saying it is, but it’s also nowhere near as bad as negative critics are often saying; an above average film. The animation is certainly phenomenal. It was great to see Team Avatar back. And while I do wish they brought back the original voice actors back, outside of Steven Yeun (Zuko), I thought the recasted voice actors overall did a solidly good job. I also enjoyed many of the easter eggs and nostalgia dropped throughout. My biggest problems with Avatar Aang is that 1) the film is too short, 2) the villian and a few other aspects to the movie are essentially recycled plot elements from past moments of both ATLA and LoK, 3) the writing direction they took some of the characters on Team Avatar definitely misses the mark some and takes away development those characters went through in ATLA, and 4) some of the writing choices for the story and plot devices implemented dimish the emotional impact and high stakes certain moments from both ATLA but also LoK (especially the former) were meant to feel like and be. Overall it’s fiiinnnne, but I was certainly expecting more and definitely am fairly disappointed it wasn’t as great as it could’ve and honestly should’ve been.
