(1 - 14) of 14 OFCS Rating: 21% Rotten Page   1   2/4 "Astro Boy goes at a mile a minute, but a closer glance reveals it to be running in place."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   A. J. Hakari 2.5/5 "This slapdash animated adventure is a middling diversion at best."   Cut Print Review   Anders Wotzke 2/5 "fails to satisfy on any emotional or intellectual level."   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron 2/4 "By nudging the picture into primary colors, Astro Boy loses a shot at an intriguing personality. A little sustained darkness never hurt anyone."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   Brian Orndorf 1.5/4 "A morbidly insensitive insult."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman C+ "The fun and merriment take a backseat to the sci-fi elements, which are probably not what the intended audience is looking for."   Film.com   Eric D. Snider C "Decked out in snazzy computer-generated animation, but comes across as more rote than exhilarating."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/5 "Any critic who complained about the lack of story in "Where the Wild Things Are" should be forced to watch the escapades and high jinks of "Astro Boy" on a loop until they realize that activity is not to be confused with actual storytelling."   MSN Movies   James Rocchi "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 2.5/5 "a big selling point for my kids to see this movie was the line, 'I have machine guns... in my butt?' Viewer, be warned."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr "It's creepy, and it's weird, and it's something like a mecha minstrel show, particularly in how the film pretends to a 'robots are people too' theme yet fails itself to treat them as such."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson C- "If you think it's a good idea to begin a movie for children by killing off a young boy in an industrial accident as his father looks on, raise your hand. Anyone?"   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 3/5 "In its best moments, the film exudes an almost Miyazakian love of flight, notably during the hero’s maiden soar through the clouds."   Time Out New York   Nick Schager B "The CGI animation is crisp and colorful, the characters have some complexity and there is clever enough writing to keep the parents amused while the kids have fun."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford  (1 - 14) of 14 OFCS Rating: 21% Rotten Page   1
