1.0 out of 5 stars Very dissapointed, August 23, 2007

By	Brian T. Tomaselli "www.calamityhouse.com" (Cleveland, Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a huge Voltron fan from way back. I loved this comic book when it came out and was dissapointed that it ended before it's time. Now, for the review. Ever wonder why there aren't more comics turned into DVD versions? Yeah, that's cause it kind of sucks. Yeah, it's nice to hear all the sounds and music. But it's just the art from the comic manipulated to give a sense of animation. Lips don't move which is a little disorienting since you almost think people are talking in an inner monologue.

If you love the comic, just read the comic. The music and sound fx in your head will be way better than anything on this disc.

1.0 out of 5 stars dreadful, August 22, 2009

By	***** "dubolex" (Fairfax, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews

Avoid this at all cost. For what I paid to get a bunch of images with lousy voice acting turned out to be an unwise purchase. I like Voltron and never really had any of it's movies. I may have recorded some of the tv shows back in the day but this was my first purchase and I'm writing this to warn all of you that it's bad. Real bad. I don't even think it deserves 1 star. No real animation, like the description says, it's called comics animation. It's where the images you would see in a comic book is moving some but there is no motion within the subjects of the film. But what makes this title even worse is the acting. Sounds like 1 person is voicing 3 of the characters (maybe more) and not doing a good job at it. Don't waste your money...or time. This is the first time I ever bought a DVD and trashed it right after watching.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor Description:, January 6, 2008

By	J. Croston - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This product is an animated comic book. It is just the images of the comics that were sold on store shelves. It did not say that in the format, and that was frustrating when recieving the DVD as it were. In the format, on the initial description it should have said Animated comic book, or digital comic book. So that others know that it was not a motion picture. Thank you.
