ReBoot: le code du gardien

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.

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?

I was a fan of the original "Reboot" and was looking forward to the new reboot. What a disappointment. All I kept thinking of while watching it was Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I mean really, stuntman in suits. And why live action? What made the original so good was the CGI. And the stories. And the characters. Maybe this will get better.

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.

I tried to persevere, but its impossible. Concepts, story and imagery is for primary school kids, but unfortunately as an adult, not for me.
