Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

victorin37 It was so obvious that Voltron DID copied some of the elements in VOLTES V. One of these was ripping-off VOLTES V's name! Voltron Lion Force had an original title. (Go-Lion: King of a Hundred Beasts) When it reached the shores of the U.S.A., the American distributors re-named it VOLTRON as to catch the American viewers' taste. American viewers and fans should be aware that this so-called "Defender of the Universe" took its name from a far more poignant super robot story. It CANNOT be DENIED, the "VOLT" in Voltron's name was the Volt in VOLTES V's name. There are no other super robots in the past, Japanese originals and U.S tampered that had the Volt in the name but Voltes V! In the case of Combattler V ripping-off by Voltes V, let us remember that the creator of Voltes V and Combattler V is only one person (Tadao Nagahama) and Voltes V is CLEARLY the Improvement of Combattler V.Voltes V is one of the best Japanese animated shows I've seen.

Bastabahalana I live in the U.S. now but I grew up in the Philippines watching Voltes V dubbed in English (later, I was surprised to know that it was Filipinos who were doing the dubbing, for they spoke perfect English) and still hear in the background the original Japanese dubbing whenever Voltes V fights a foe. For example, whenever he uses one of his weapons, like the top, the team leader would shout "UUUULLLLTTTRRRAAAMMMAAAGGGNNNEEETTTIIICCCCTTTOOOOPPPP!!" or something like "EEEELLLLEEEECCCTTTTRROOOOMMM AAAGGGGNNNEEETTTIIIICCCTTTOOOOPPPPP" while on the background you would here another voice, which is in Japanese, yelling something else. When I get to school the next day me and my classmates would make fun of this and imitate the Japanese voice background... but it was all good you know, its part of your good old days, like everyone else who reminisce about their favorite cartoon shows when they were young, it brings back delight for it was a much simpler times...not like adulthood where you constantly think about the high pressures of life!

compieku They say first love never dies, and it's certainly true for my love for Voltes V. I first watched the series in the mid 80's, the first Japanese anime I've ever seen. I'm still an anime lover, but truly nothing compares to Voltes V. I don't exactly know why, maybe it's the storyline (which gives a surprising secret at the end), maybe it's the characters (one of them is my first crush, the villain was voted the most-loved villain in all anime), or maybe simply because it doesn't use sex as a selling tool like so many anime nowadays.When the story ends, I felt the first disappointment in my whole life. I've moved to many other movies, but still I came back for it, searched for years before finding a complete set of vcds, and surprised myself because I vividly remembered most episodes. That's how much I love it.

ssstudio Voltes V is the story of three brothers in search for their lost father, while waging a war against a horned race of alien invaders.To fight against the aliens, the three brothers and two friends use five sophisticated attack vehicles which can combine into a powerful laser sword-wielding giant robot.The theme of the series is not for the average kid, storylines about discrimination, racism and dictatorialism has led to this series being banned in one country.But the main theme of siblings going against the odds to be reunited with their father has made this series one of the most popular of the vintage anime. It doesn't hurt also that their mecha (robot) is one of the more advance-designed one.A cult following has ensued in my country. Twenty years after its release, it still hasn't lost its magic. And I for one am thankful for that.
