Just perfect...

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Around December, this show started filling up my Pinterest page. I had no idea what is was or what it was about. I ignored it and continued mainly watching The Walking Dead. And then, a major death occurred in TWD and it screwed me over so hard I had to take a break. You can't just kill my favorite character like that and expect me to be OK. I was like "screw this" and started looking for ANY other show to binge while I tried to emotionally stabilize myself. I saw Voltron and was like "OK, I'll try it." It being a Netflix show, I didn't expect much from Voltron, but it seriously surprised me. I love story, the humor made me laugh, and the characters are really well written. Of course, it has its flaws (all shows do), but I seriously love this show. I've always loved cartoons like The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, and I was so happy to find another that was as good as they were. Can't wait for the next season!!!!

Finished season one and two in the span of one week. Have re-watched it about 3 times now and strongly anticipate season three as well as the rumored live-action movie that's coming. Did not watch the original shows it spawned from but still completely understand and enjoyed every single bit of the series.

I loved this series a lot! I have never watched the original series (although some people have taken to posting some of the more cringe-worthy moments online which are very entertaining), but I think that as a new fan, I was able to experience this in a much better and fresher way than an old fan?I didn't have a lot of information going in, only knowing that it had blown up on the internet despite only having been released for a month, but I spent the entire night watching as much as I could, and it was fantastic! The humor, while sometimes immature (or sometimes very adult-like, things able to fly over kids heads but make adults wonder about the connotation of the joke), was extremely enjoyable! As a big fan of Tim Hendricks and his work in the Avatar universe, I can safely say that this is another great work that perfectly balances action, humor, and emotion and is most definitely up to the Avatar universe level. Although I'd say that while I do love the animation for Voltron, I do find some of the main character's designs very awkward, mostly only in the face (Lance has a chin pointier than a nail, and Hunk's face is like 45% jaw).The show was kind of slow in the beginning, but I think given the amount of time the writers had, they effectively set up the universe. They had really only gone through about three arcs, but they all transitioned fluidly, and the story-telling skills was again amazing.Not to mention the representation is kind of great? Like really great. Four out of the seven main cast are poc (Although many speculate Keith possibly being Korean or Japanese, which would put the show at five out of seven). While the department of women is severely lacking, especially up to Avatar's level, the women are all empowered and serve very important roles. Props to Tim Hendrick, Joaquim Dos Santos, Lauren Montgomery, and the entire cast for bringing this great show to life! Lance is definitely my favorite, but Hunk is a close second!

It's a good series but if an old school fan compares this version with the original, well, then:This series suffers the lack of fantasy of the original series, a lot of innocence and magic of the original version are removed and then are replaced with other arguments in some cases more "science- rational", that takes away some of the essence of what Voltron was once. It is a reboot after all.In other cases things in this modern version are more relevant according the politically correct agenda, you know, things like breaking - some- stereotypes -to create others- and those kind of things. All that was present since the original cartoon. Now, this series by itself:The first -around one hour- episode is kind of boring. The series gets better according the episodes advance, the rhythm of twenty minutes works well and the series starts to be funny and interesting by itself, is not a lineal argument and the jokes get better. Each character is an stereotype but it works in this kind of series. Each lion tries to have its own charm. What is better in this version? well, easy, the villains. They have interesting personalities and backgrounds! I'm thankful because of that.If you are a religious person take note: in this series only the less evolved beings worry about divine justice over moral acts and have rituals to connect with some divinity. Nothing to tear your garments apart, but it really was not necessary in this story that point of view over the relation between faith and "evolution".Final thought: "Voltron: Legendary Defender" tries too hard to be "modern" and then loses innocence and freshness.
