Review of Astro Boy (2009) by Jacob H — 13 Apr 2013
I have mixed feelings about this movie.
While is was great to see an ironic character from my childhood brought into the modern age, much of what made the original cartoon so interesting is lost. There is little of the complex political and darker aspects from the original cartoon - and the movie suffers from that. The character of Astro done reasonably well and actually looks quite good - but the other characters don't really resemble what they should.
Kids should enjoy aspects of it and people looking for a nostalgia kick might like bits and pieces. But I doubt people unfamiliar the character will be drawn in much at all.
