Truly Dreadful Film

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Megas XLR is one of those cartoons that make you wanna laugh with squirm.. It's worth watching.. The characters such as COOP, a fat lousy slob who drives this great robot while his mind is on food and well, almost other things.. which in most times.. He seems to forgets and then remembers..Kiva, a futuristic galactic babe who ends up stuck in the present day with 2 twits whilst figuring out if she'll ever get back to the future.. Mind you, Kiva has got good intelligence.. but as the series goes.. she's trying to blend in the present day folks..Last but not least you got Jamie.. This guy likes to be in the fun of all the action, as well as excitement. But most times, he thinks about ending up with the so-called 'Space Chicks' money and what have you..There are other characters like Goat.. The guy who works at this junkyard. That's where Coop found the robot which came from the future..Then you got the Glorft.. It's main leader Gorrath which is superbly voiced by Clancy Brown who is after Megas.To sum it all up.. It was very entertaining! This is my cup of tea..!

it's great to see a show that pokes fun at mechas and anime in general. being a huge anime fan myself it's nice to see how there is a show that can let loose so well. Megas XLR effectively holds an "anime-esque" feel to it while also being very American in it's humor and writing style, which is what makes it so unique. Anime sometimes takes itself too seriously and of course it often displays the culture in which it comes from, which makes American audiences have the "outside looking in" feel, where as Megas XLR eliminates the slight alienation while keeping some of the great anime themes. A big hit for lovers of anime and anyone who enjoys a good cartoon.

Like many people, when I first heard about Megas, I was skeptical. I have never been a huge fan of giant robot shows (Voltron, Gundam W, Big O, and G Gundam being the exceptions) so I figured this would be nothing special.Boy, was I ever wrong when I finally started watching the show.Megas XLR is about a super robot from the future built by the destructive race known as the Glorft. With their next target being Earth, a human girl named Kiva steals the robot and sends it back in time. It's found in a junkyard in Jersey City by a slacker/gamer/anime fan/wrestling fan/gearhead named Coop and his girl-obsessed sidekick Jamie. Coop completely rebuilds the robot, using his car and various video game controls to pilot it. When Kiva attempts to reclaim Megas, she finds that she can't even pilot it anymore! Kiva then recruits Coop and Jamie to help her fight the Glorft, who have also traveled back in time to reclaim Megas.The show parodies nearly everything from the 1980's to the present, be it movies, anime, video games, or whatever else the creators think of that day. The blend of action, comedy, and even some serious moments cause the show to be downright entertaining on nearly every level. If you have not watched Megas XLR yet, I advise you to give the show a try.

At first when I saw some commercials for Megas XLR, I thought it was a Transformers rip-off. But then I changed my mind about the show and watched a few of the episodes and it was pretty cool and it's funny too. The show is about two teenage slackers named Coop and Jamie who discover a giant robot in a New Jersey junkyard He attached his car to the top of the robot. But...then evil aliens called Glorft land on Earth. Now 3 total opposites named Coop, Jamie, and the robot's creator Kiva must team up to stop the Glorft(and many other evil forces) from obtaining "Megas XLR"! I think the Glorft character is a little weird but yet one of my favorite sci-fi villains! My favorite characters are Coop and Jamie. This show first aired on Cartoon Network's Toonami back in May 2004. This is one of my favorite shows on Toonami!User Rating: 9/10BOTTOM LINE: I DIG GIANT ROBOTS!
