to think i could have just rent steamboy and get it over and do with . but it be only the uk theatrical cut that be available to rent and with a director cut available in a limited edition box set out there i have to be a snob and go buy that . what a complete waste of money . steamboy be a steam pile of crap . the only thing i like about it be the quaint depiction of olden day english countryside . the rest be so phenomenally boring and that i be almost fall asleep . james ray steam ( voice by anna paquin and sound more like a gaelic south african than a boy from manchester ) be the grandson of some good scientist and the son of some bad scientist . blah blah blah . steam power . blah blah blah . war machine . christ almighty and i be send myself into terminal coma even summarise this guff . the cover make it look like some sort of excite superhero story . but all of the action happen in the last 10 minute . everything before this be so and so unbelievably slow . every line of dialogue so flat . every character bland a living hell . i wish to erase this film from my memory forever and i be extremely bitter over the 2 hour i waste watch it .
