It is never an easy job to adapt a masterpiece to live action and more often than not attempts fell flat. The expectations are sky high and if you don't give at least 100% most likely you'll fail. Even if you do 100% there will be some who are so married to the original that they won't open their mind to see what you have done.
I can't tell you what this team has done or haven't done during the making of this show, but I can tell you what shows is they tried their absolute best to give 100% or if even possible, even more.
First of all they took the subject matter and treated it with respect. The casting... I could write a small essay on the casting, few shows/movies can nail this so perfectly. I was on the edge of my seat every time a major character was introduced, because they just fit so well. The CGI and graphics is perfect, and not self serving, the pictures and motifs are drawn by people who get it. The sound and music is amazing, which is less suprising, if you saw the behind the scenes on the orchestra, but still.
Last but not least, I am a huge fan of the original and for me this has the avatar spirit as well, it was like coming home.
Please do yourself a favor and ignore the negative reviews. See the pilot and decide yourself.
