    Astro Boy

    by Raven-Maniac

    Took my 3-1/2 year old son to see it. What an excellent movie. Good from start to finish. He loved it and sat and watched the entire movie. I asked him afterwards if he liked and he gave me the biggest smile and said yeah dad I liked the dog garbage can.

    Reasonably Good. Not amazing.

    by chris_l_miller

    Good story for boys 5 and up. SPOILER ALERT: The boy dies and then the father just makes another boy from robot parts. The robot thinks he's a boy and then finds out he's not. I wouldn't recommend this story to anyone trying to explain any good morals about life or about what's important. But straight entertainment value it's pretty good.

    A marvelously designed piece of cartoon kinetics.

    The movie contains less of its interesting story and more action and battle...

    Astro Boy alternately soars and sputters through a story line that's not quite...

    Derivative bits aside, the pint-sized Japanese icon takes flight in vibrant CG...
