Voltron Force (2011–2012)
4/10
You can try to watch this as a guilty pleasure

Warning: Spoilers
1. Summary Voltron Force is sort of like a reboot and continuation to the original 80's Voltron but starts off after the lions were decommissioned and it's up to a boy named, Daniel to live out his dream to pilot the Black Lion by entering in the Garrison.

2. Story In my opinion the beginning is terrible until the near end where it is a bit better. However where was this in the beginning to make this series strong throughout the series. After the lions were decommissioned, the paladins went on with their lives and Keith is fugitive but we don't know the reason why he is. It would've been better if they could explain things better like to explain the build up of Daniel's backstory on how he wanted to be a paladin of Voltron and the build up how his character can be stronger in the show so the story could be stronger and memorable as it is today. However, people can just watch the show as a guilty pleasure because they can watch this show for the fights but not the story or characters.

3. Characters The character in the show are stale as bread. All the characters we have to explain to ourselves of their past in one scene and that's it and that's what we got because we have to assume about every characters' backstory and how did they got to the point in the show. I felt nothing for these characters because the original paladins of Voltron as well because the show doesn't go in depth of every character, it assumes that you watched the previous adaptations of Voltron. That's is not good when the main character is pretty much the same as any main character and makes it worst is that I felt nothing for all the characters but only the friendship between each other. That is pretty much that we got throughout the show.

Villains - Pretty simple and good villains of the show to show how they are up against with the lead characters.

4. Animation & Sound The animation is not to the standards of other series that blended CGI and animation. The CGI is very noticeable and didn't felt real to the character interacting them and the CGI by itself what is in its own different world. Sometimes when Voltron is formed it is not as bulky as previous adaptations of Voltron but it wasn't that great with the scale at times to the backgrounds but at least the CGI moments matches whenever there is a ro-beasts around.

-The voice acting is fine and tolerable because the dialogue is for children and I've seen worst voice acting for this

Action Scenes: The weapons while using are very good and I can watch this show just for the action because Voltron and Ro-beasts work fine together because it's CGI against CGI instead of animation used. Also I really do like the weapons that Voltron from every lion's unique ability and I would like if they could come back as later adaptations.

Results - I give this result because this show does has the potential but it lack the story and characters to even care about this show. You can just watch this show out of guilty pleasure because of the fights and looking up from your computer and laugh how terrible it is. There is nothing that is given back if it you want to watch this show for the characters, but my opinion those characters can be stale as a loaf of bread and that's basically what you get for this entire series. You can get something good out of that bread but there is nothing to add with.
