As I've often said, I'm not a big animation guy. I don't wait anxiously for the newest project from Pixar, DreamWorks, Disney, or Robert Zemeckis. It's not that I don't like them, but for some reason I just don't seem to have the attention span to stay focused on them for very long. That being said, Astro Boy did it's very best to keep my attention and succeeded to a much higher degree than others.<br/><br/>I really didn't know what to expect from the director of a movie that's main character is sent reeling down a toilet in Flushed Away. That movie really did get some decent reviews, but still seems to be one of the most forgettable animated films of the decade. Director David Bowers really does deliver when it comes to the action and fun for Astro Boy, though. The movie seems a little bit politically oriented, but it's not enough to annoy you into forgetting what you came to the movie to see - a robot kid who shoots laser blasts out of his butt, laser beams out of his arms, flies using jetpacks in his feet, and blows things up while saving people. Pretty cool stuff.<br/><br/>The voice cast is great and does a terrific job. Everyone sounds like what you envision the animated characters you're looking at would. Freddie Highmore (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Spiderwick Chronicles) does a great job in expressing the human emotions that still seem to somehow resonate through the mechanical body of Astro Boy. Nicolas Cage plays Dr. Tenma, convincingly showing the range of emotions the character goes through when first creating Astro Boy and feeling joyous to the despair of realizing that the robot isn't really his son. The other cast members suchDonald Sutherland, Kristen Bell, Eugene Levy, and Nathan Lane all let their individual voicing talents shine throughwell.<br/><br/>My only real problem with the movie is that it's not really challenging or anything new. It just is. It's an animated film that pretty much looks like everything else coming out today and doesn't strive to be anything more visually or creatively. That's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm not saying that it doesn't look visually good. It's not like it looks like that crappy animation they use for Iron Man - Armored Adventures. I just kind of expected an anticipated reboot of a highly popular 57-year old Japanese manga character to be a little bit more "special" and memorable. Maybe sometimes I expect too much.<br/><br/>It still has a good message for the kids and holds their attention. I took my 3-year old to the movie and he absolutely loved it. He sat still through almost the whole thing. That's really saying a lot, believe me. He can barely sit still through a 30-minute episode of The Clone Wars, and he loves Star Wars. As a matter of fact, most of the kids I saw walking out of the theater really seemed to enjoy it. If you're looking for good family entertainment, you can't beat that testament.
Astro Boy has always been the symbol of the golden era of animewellthe golden era of American licensing of anime. This movie presents Astro Boy in a slightly new way.<br/><br/>The story for it is rather simple, but doesn't fail in keeping one entertain throughout it's time run. Those who seen the three anime adaptations would already know the origin of Astro Boy's creation. That's still includedwellappearances of a couple of recognizable characters. And a couple of new additions that fit in for this movie.<br/><br/>Now to list the good and bad thing about this movie. The good thing is this movie remains true to the concept and Astro Boy a like. It still takes place in the future where robots and humans live together. As wellrobot civil rights which was a common topic in the previous Astro Boy adaptations on robots being questioned whether they should have the same rightshumans or not.<br/><br/>Bad thing is that the movie could of been a whole lot more if the writers made the movie feel more close to the anime with the addition of more characters or have Dr. Elefun & Daddy Walrus have either bigger parts or have at least have the same feeltheir anime counterparts. I also think this movie tried too hard in Americanizing it by adding certain human characters that look like they belong in a different movie or the fact that they were trying to make it look more American by having the characters eat pizza instead of tempura.<br/><br/>The die hard fans of Astro Boy will likely to still enjoy this movie. It's not a mirror copy of it's anime counterpart but doesn't fail in being entertaining. To me it's something that will make popcorn taste better while watching it.
Corny but goodhearted, the film tries hard not to annoy parents, with animation more fizzy than frantic and nerdy references.
