Astro Boy - The Movie ^__^

Sun Oct 11, 2009, 1:52 AM
Hullo!

Well, got a call last night from an old friend who scored some advanced screening tickets to go see the new Astro Boy movie today.

So I went... And it was very, VERY pretty to look at. The new style works well. The story was very kiddy and the pace seemed a little rushed - or maybe it felt like they were trying to cram a lot in. Either way it was enjoyable and fun - intended for kids, but still enough there for old fans and parents who'd have to get dragged along to go see it. Some things seemed very tacked on - like Kora and her parents, but meh - i can live with that.

I like the Robot Resistance, they were pretty funny - especially the 'transformation' part, they had a few good one-liners too. Oh - and, BUTT-GUNS FTW!!!11!!1!1!

EJ [link] Su's movie adaptation was pretty spot on too! He really nailed it I think. I picked this up before I saw the movie and managed to not entirely spoil the movie for myself ^__^

Now the voice acting - god damn it was atrocious in some parts. Not Astro though, he was good and all, and the emotive faces and aniamtion - WOW~!

But Nicolas -friggin'- Cage, how does this guy still get work? HE'S TERRIBLE IN EVERYTHING I'VE SEEN HIM IN!!! Donald Sutherland too, maybe he should've put a bit more effort into his role - reminded me of Krusty the Clown going in to record his lines in that Simpsons ep...

Anyways, it was an enjoyable film overall, maybe more so cause it was free - my wife did cry in a few spots, tho she can get like that in 'heart-string-pulling' scenes, even though I thought they were a bit laboured in this flick - but maybe thats cause she's emotional and pregnant...

Oh yeah, did I mention that? I'm gunna be a daddy!

Huzzah!

Hope everyone iz rockin'.

Peace out!
