And if everyone (people that watch both Voltron editions) remember, while that story wasn't part of the anime itself, the americanized version in the opening stated that at one time Voltron Lion visited Earth, and the alliance study him and made Voltron Vehicle. So again it can be a kind of prequel. But I may be wrong, and if case of a real prequel or not, they can screw it big time, but again looking at comments on this page, looks like that.

Furthermore many of the women going to see it are dying to see Prince Lotor in it!! Most of us are looking for the movie to continue his pursuit of the Princess. Oh well, at least we have fanfics.

It had great action but a confusing story. I thought it was about the robots, instead I'm watching a flix about a kid trying to get some play with a bunch of PIPECLEANERS running round the background.

I would remind all that it's fanatic's that keep most of these concepts alive, not regular guy like you or me. Movies like IRONMAN,kept the core elements we all loved, then add little things of their own. i couldn’t agree with you more Keith,

The reason why we Voltron fans were not pleased with Justin Marks' script is because it's not Voltron. It's nothing more than a rehash of previous sci-fi movies with Voltron characters. Why should we be pleased with that? Just because it has Voltron's name on it? Not a good enough reason. Image and Devil's Due released Voltron comics in 2004-2005. In the beginning they were great and took Voltron in a new direction that made sense, was updated and wasn't kiddie. Unfortunately, DDP was more concerned with their various G.I.Joe and Transformers comics to really care about Voltron. Just look at Superman Returns. Many people, including myself, went to see it because it was Superman and frankly, I don't think that movie did the franchise justice. The new Batman movies on the other hand, are a good example of how new adaptations work. Now, you're entitled to your opinion on whether or not you would like the script that Justin Marks came up with. But the fact remains that Justin Marks didn't write a Voltron script. Infact, I'm not sure what to catalogue it as other than junk. We fans want Voltron on the big screen, but we want something respectable that will revive Voltron, not something that will make people regret that they spent the money to watch it. The team behind the Transformers movie listened to what the fans had to say and changed certain things (including getting Peter Cullen to voice Prime) and that had a significant effect on the movie's success. ~K.B.L.~ Rick James,

What New voltron ANYTHING has come out in the last 20 years? If anything has come out, i defeintly have not heard anything about it and I bet a very small amount of people would know about it. This movie could revolutionize Voltron and bring this classic cartoon back from the dead. Why would fanatics be pissed about that, you would figure they'd be salvating at anything they could get their hands on. Maybe they need another 20 years or so to be able to handle the idea that voltron is coming out on the big screen.

It DID have a slightly dark tone to it, but had the Space Mice, it did have Hagar, etc. Let us all hope that Justin Marks does it justice!

It's going to take A LOT of work to pull this one off! They'll need ALL the key characters, and I would LOVE to see (or hear) Peter Cullen have a significant role on this movie since he was responsible for the opening narration, among other parts in Voltron.

What we have been told about the script, leaves out important characters, specifically King Zarkon (who's in charge of the Forces of Planet Doom), Witch Haggar (who split Voltron into 5 lions in the US version of the cartoon) and Zarkon's son Lotor (who wants to rule in place of his father). All the main characters have been radically changed beyond the "mondernization" that Hollywood has adopted as its standard operating, proceedure to the point where the movie isn't even recognizable as Voltron. If anyone wants to see the non-paid-for-reviews of those who will be shelling out the $6-$12 to see this movie, checkout the official Voltron message boards and look for the "Voltron Script" thread. ~KBL~ Here’s a scoop for ya, a majority of the Voltron fans on the Official Voltron Message Board (http://forums.voltron.com/groupee) have read the review on LatinoReview and many agree that the new concept for the Voltron Movie sucks.
