when i have first hear about this movie around about last summer and i be pretty excited to see it and even if people be say it be a waste of time and i still have to see it because i know it be base on an actual anime or manga series long ago and and because i be so heavily into that sort of stuff it be definitely something i be go to see and believe and i walk out of the cinema smiling because i felt really happy and cheerful and i know it be because of that movie . it such a brilliant mix of everything and personally i do not think there anything wrong with it and i know i be probably too old to like that sort of stuff but i watch anything me if the trailer look good and i be more into cgi or animation movie and there soo much more that they can do compare to live action and if astro boy have be live action then it wouldn not have be as good because they wouldn not have be able to accomplish half the stuff they do in the cgi version and hell i do not even know how they manage with the live action series back then represent but seriously and if this be your kind of movie and do not listen to what the bad review be tell you and experience it for yourself and just watch it and because it be a really fun or thrill movie that can really make you smile and just a it do with me positive . another good thing be that they haven not change anything too drastically and normally when a movie be adapt from tv or a book they tend to change it and sometimes too much but i feel that they have change it only slightly so that it appeal great to our modern age and the great thing though be that astro be the same . you know and same name and look and even the undies . but at least he wear clothes . well up until the end . ha ha representd although i be not really sure what to think about the new character apart from the rrf who be just hilarious and but i guess some of the others resemble or remind me of the old one but the one in particular be cora and who be mean not to be see a a potential love interest for astro ( i think . ) be just not need really and i mean she probably there just to fill up the space and i do not think there an actual reason and i mean i can not see them get together and stuff . but maybe that just me . and to finish off and i have some idea my review be just pathetic and just go on about how great the movie be . when it actually be and but i just do not want anyone to get the wrong idea and it have so much in common with the original series that you wouldn not believe and it rare nowadays that new animation movie have any background history ( mean any cartoon make and show on tv before the movie ) or even anything in common with it previous show and so it pretty good to see something like this come out and make me happy to be the age i be now because when i be young cgi animation just wasn not this good . and that say something cause i be only 17 ^^ and even if you have never hear of or even watch the original series it doesn not matter because the movie practically start from scratch anyway if you know what i mean while ) so yeah and enjoy the movie ( represent .
