Astro Boy, coming out on the 23rd of October is an animation movie based on the early 90's cartoons. Featuring the cast; Nicolas Cage, Kristen Bell and Bill Nighy. With the directors; Osamu Tezuka (comic series), Timothy Harris (screenplay).
The plot is Set in futuristic Metro City, Astro Boy is about a young robot with incredible powers created by a brilliant scientist in the image of the son he has lost. Unable to fulfill the grieving man's expectations, our hero embarks on a journey in search of acceptance, experiencing betrayal and a netherworld of robot gladiators, before he returns to save
Metro City and reconcile with the father who had rejected him.
When i heard they were making an Astro Boy movie i was excited but when Hollywood makes movies based on old animes I remember like 'dragon ball z' and 'street fighter'. This Astro Boy looks promising because it has the spirit that the original Osamu Tezuka anime had.
Even though it's CG, this is a better anime adaptation than Dragonball Evolution.
I don't like the look of it, i think it is another example of and great old franchise being bought up and ruined for a quick buck with no respect for original ideas.
