All I can say is that I that I loved this crispy, colorful and action-packed captivating CGI-animated movie! The beloved animated series "Astro Boy," created by Osamu Tezuka in the 1960's has come to life in a magificent movie! First off, I wasn't a fan of the animated show, but after seing this movie, I'm dying for a sequel that could be at works if Astro Boy does well. I wasn't expecting to like this movie this much, It exceeded my expectations. They really did an amazing job on this movie. The visuals could'nt be better, the story is great, and the characters are well developed! There's action, emotional and humor scenes, almost everything is well balanced in this movie! This is definitely the movie you should watch this Week-end, if it's for some family time or for your kids! Parents and kids are going to enjoy this movie!
