I agree with this post. It is a great Family film, but leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. My son loved it – though he covered his ears as it was very loud at times.
They did try to hard to have an adult theme (who am I and where do I fit in society) for a kids film and it overtook the story too much.

We just watched this one around here and the kids thought it was awesome. I thought it was lacking and even the action was pretty limited. I guess it looks pretty, that’s good for something isn’t it!

I’m glad for this review. It doesn’t just sound like a bad adaptation, but bad period. My oldest son has been trying to convince me to take him to see it, and I keep hinting at some other movies, but I feel obliged because he’s sat through Star Trek and Wolverine with me. (though he liked both) I’ll continue steering him elsewhere after reading this. LOL.

Indeed, with the legacy of Astro Boy, it deserved so much better. It’s a shame really…

Though I haven’t seen it yet, I really think they’ve raped this one, just like they raped the Ponyo theme song for the American version. I don’t know, it lost its charm and looks like a bad Dreamworks animation as apposed to a superior Pixar production. I don’t think I’m even gonna bother watching this one hehe.
