Looks like another eighties cartoon is going to make it to the big screen. (and killed)

mmmmmmm no thanks.

Enough is enough.

Too many classics are being made for the big screen now adays.

If transformers fails in theatres then will there be hopes for more giant robots?

People will see Transformers because of the same reason everyone sees Bay's movies, they are trendy and have big explosions. Will it beat out PoTC or Spidey? No, but it'll get a nice piece of the summer block buster pie.

Though back to Voltron, I heard a rumor that Ashton Kutcher is gonna be cast as Keith and Paris Hilton will be Princess Allura.

May I ask what was wrong with films like TMNT then?

Get off that unobjective, inane bandwagon.

Well there is some standing behind that argument, Hasbro is whoring out Transformers and G.I. Joe for money.

A lot of these older franchises are being dug up just to make a quick buck.

(Miami Vice and Dukes of Hazard anyone?)

I'll reserve my opinion till trailers and photos start popping up for this.
I loved Voltron as a child not as much as TMNT, Thundercats, or He-man but pretty damn close.

I'll go and see it, but only because I got up before dawn every morning to watch Voltron and because the toys never stopped being so much damn fun. Who knows? They might not ruin it... if they keep Ashton and Paris the hell away from it.

Um I am on no bandwagon. Prob is some of the companies are out there to make a quick buck. Transformers for example.. great cartoon.. the movie will bomb probably or not still.

However, Voltron has never had a live action movie so this is the first.

Vice was awesome, and pretty underrated as a film, whilst Dukes was just a louder version of what the show always was. Sentimental value blinds people to enjoying them.
