Well, I was hoping for something a little bit more like the original cartoon. and was super hyped for this movie. but i looks like the just disneyized it to hell. Astro Boy is supposed to be funny because of the cheesyness not because it was a comedy. This trailer just turned me from a theater see to a rental.

It looks OKAY. It appears that they’re not following the real story at all. Which sucks, because the original was just EPIC storytelling. Could’ve been so cool.

Aw, well. Maybe in the sequel.

The kids in the test audience my daughter and I were apart of loved the line about machine guns in his butt, but it’s probably one of the only real cheesy lines in the movie.

Don’t get use to Cora or any of the other kids because they are not a big subplot. The movie appeals to kids and didn’t totally annoy parents. We sat in the focus group after and I wanted to smack some of the parents who felt some scenes were too voilent or too dark…what?? Good grief, no wonder there is so much stupid generic kids stuff out there. I hope they listened to the kids who loved those parts of the movie.

There are a pair of really stupid robots in the movie who had a way big part, I’m hoping they trimmed them down because the movie just came to a screeching halt every time they showed up for their bad Monty Python-esque bits.

It was the hokey way he said it. Like they were digging for low brow fart humour. The kids will think its hiliarious, but it kind of took something away from it all for me.

But there was plenty of awesome to counterbalance it so its just a small groaning moment that I will quickly get over.

Rodney, was it the concept of the machine gun inside the butt is what bother you or was it the dialogue? Just so you know, Astro Boy always has this ability in the original Japanese comics and TV series. I thought the machine gun butt line was funny. The way it was presented in surprise, jokingly manner in this movie works for me and mirrors my own reaction. A straight-face approach would probably not work for the mainstream audience, even though that was how it is for Japanese audience. Its a totally different culture between west and east.

I don’t think there is really any problem with that, it’s more the fact that there is a line in the movie pointing out “I have machine guns? In my butt?” They could made the line a little less, I don’t know, stupid sounding? Sure they could have gone worse, but something more a long the lines of “Huh, didn’t know I could do that!” or something would have been a little easier on the ears.

Astroboy DOES have machine guns in his butt.. If they didn’t put them in the movie everyone would complain.
