Astro Boy

Robot boy is a hero. What can i say about Astro boy, i've read a lot of the original manga, and loved the 80's tv series, so i consider myself a fan, and that might be why i didn't really like this movie. The animation was fine, and the original characters worked well, but the astro boy parts just didn't do it for me. Why not make up a new hero or something, there's no need to take an established character with a rich history and fuck with it. They did the whole origin thing too, which just burns up screen time and doesn't really add anything to the movie. It's not as horrible as i thought it might be, but it's still not very good. I'll take my animated astro boy in 2-D with an awesome theme song thank you.



Also watched recently: Ninja Assassin. Fun, never tries to be anything more then what it is, straight action.
