I saw the new astroboy movie!

Sounds like you had fun. We had quite a few people at our showing (not a packed house, but still pretty decent) and there were quite a few kids. (some of them just wouldn't shut the Hell UP >>) XD

Well I saw the movie and frankly if you walk in believing that its gonna be screwed up...you'll still be amazed. It does follow a few structures that made Astro unique. I was fairly amazed at the lighting, the plot, even my daughter sat through the whole movie without asking to go to the bathroom and she's 3. There were a few things that I didn't like but those were infinitesimal next to the way Mr. Elefun interacted with Astro. I just love the fatherly bond he created with the little robot. I will be buying this movie once it comes out. *Huggles Astro.* I've loved this little robot since I was young, my mother and grandmother before me, I'm glad that I'm bringing my daughter up in a society that still honors him today.

Oh, it really is nice that you can share Astro with your daughter! We'll welcome her on the forum in 10 years!

I forgot to say that I really liked the scene when Astro learns he can fly. It felt a bit like we were flying with him, so that was a nice piece of artwork!

My mom sat through it with me during the 80s series and her mom sat through it through the 60s series...I'm a third gen astro lover yay me!

I just saw it last night. I had a lot of reactions, some rather negative. Like just about everyone here, it seems, I didn't care much for the first act. It got better as it went, though. It's like this year's "Star Trek" film, a mild reimagination of a beloved icon for a modern audience. Whether not changes were needed is another question. I won't get into spoilers here. And no, I don't think Tezuka would be entirely pleased.

It's nice to see Astro getting the attention, though.

Is it worth going to see it at the theater?

Is it worth going to see it at the theater?

I thought so, because of what I said in my post above:

But in the end, I guess it's very personal.

I'd say so
