Astro Boy is not new to the big or small screen. In fact, he’s about 50 years old, introduced first as a Japanese manga character. Luckily the boy ages well as he’s been given yet another shot at life, this time courtesy of Hollywood animation.The animated robot is created by Dr Tenma after his son dies, and turns out to be his greatest stroke of genius, as the boy ends up being a hero and saving the earth from destruction. Yup, that’s pretty much it. This is another one to keep the kids occupied for a few hours, and not a film that will go down as an animation classic.
Rating: 2 outta 5.
This movie is awesome. It got a B+ from moviegoers at the Yahoo Movies board. And it's not just for kids. It's truly an all-ages film. Better than UP in my opinion.
