Your thoughts on the movie? (SPOILERS of course)

So what did you guys think of the movie?
I saw it this morning at an advance screening. I went in expecting it to be quite different but hoping it would stay true to the ideals. It would be nice to have a movie with the same feel...but oh well.
Things I liked:
- General overall story and pace was good (even though predictable)
- Animation was awesome
- References to Tezuka character and man-made sun thing at the end
- Voice acting in general was pretty good, I actually thought Freddie Highmore did a great job as Astro =D
- Music was excellent
Things that bugged me:
- Nicholas Cage as Tenma. Dammit you need to sound more slightly insane! I thought he sounded too passive, would have liked more edge in the voice
- The way Toby died
thought it could have been done with more emotional impact. Being vaporized was a bit boring, I think this is an important plot point and should have been used better. I liked the car crash scenario
- Toby was a bit annoying -_- though thinking about it afterwards he is older in this movie than in the series... still. Wish he was less brat-like
- The theme music wasn't squeezed in anywhere =( not even a couple of chords in the credits)
- The whole president doing whatever he pleases and terrorising scientists was lame and unrealistic. It could have been made into something more believable.

) not some fat dude that looks like he's well fed. Specially seeing that 'used' pizza they were eating...tells me just that. Does he have some sort of secret twinky stash somewhere?
hmy: I actually loved the idea of Cage as Tenma... But I think U right, he must sound more madman and insane (just like the anime)
