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

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.

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.

This show has gone to great lengths to not be anything like the original ReBoot, and in one episode openly mocks the old fans. Ok what if it's not for the old fans? Well, why not make something new in that case?

The show is by no means ReBoot. It is a patchwork of other shows and movies like Tron and VR Troopers.

This show couldn't stand on its own feet even if you took any aspect of ReBoot out of the equation.

It is almost like someone had the chance to publish their fanfiction and they weren't even a fan.

This show has no heart or soul, don't waste your time with it.
