ReBoot: The Guardian Code

It clearly states "Inspired by Reboot" but while watching the first episode, I was left with the distinct feeling they had never seen an episode of the original series.

Nothing resembling Bob, or Dot, or Enzo, or Fong, or the user, or any of the sprite citizens of Mainframe.

This is a 1 and done show for me. Sat through an episode and i'm finished with it. I might have been kinder in my review if it had a more honest title like "Generic Teenagers in CyberSpace"

I'm a huge fan of the original ReBoot, and I just finished watching every episode of "The Guardian Code" and I'm a little insulted that the creators have said that they had fans of the original in mind making it. The only reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is that the actor that plays VERA is phenomenal and a real boon to an otherwise irredeemable insult of a show. It has nothing to do with the original, whatsoever, in plot, theme, or mood.

This whole thing is desperately tragic because I've been waiting for more ReBoot since the series finale of the original (which had heart, humor, and gravity. three things which TGC sorely lacks.) I just hope that this Star-Wars-Prequel-Trilogy-level trainwreck doesn't doom the IP entirely and that one day we actually get to see a real ReBoot reboot.

I was so excited to see this title in a live action remake. But i was very disappointed, if it doesnt have bob then i am not interested. They could have made him the character the teenagers meet instead of a different robot. Its all logo, nothing really from the cartoon.

The characters begin by being one dimensional, and proceed to being completely generic. Stock teenagers #1-4 are joined by robot #1 to fight bad-guy #5. Every episode we just mow down waves of unnamed minions. I think the comparisons to Power Rangers are somewhat unfair, as the rangers always had a unique monster to fight, in the same way, every episode. Ten episodes in, and I can't even remember the names of the Teenagers with Attitude. They make that much of an impression.

The ReBoot name tricked me into giving the first release a full watch, hoping that there would be something to like. Every episode got progressively dumber and dumber until the finale: when the show decided to directly insult the classic fan base.

I really feel I should invoice Rainmaker for the time I spent trying to like this cinematic bowl of cream of wheat. It was at best, bland. I guess some of the robot's faces were kinda funny?

Not only is this more code lyoko than ReBoot, it's also somehow worse in it's execution everything seems to lag behind the old ReBoot even the CGI. What is worse episode 10 is both a nod and an insult to old fans, mostly an insult. It even makes jokes about how the last 20 years waiting have been wasted. I hope Netflix chancels it and brings back the old format, with no Teen drama and users. Even just the old series in a HD version would be better, as it is right now it's really just below mediocre.
