Astro Boy, a review by Silence_of_LambsSummary: 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... My thoughts: This was recommended to me by a friend who wanted to show me how good Asian animated movies can be ... Well he achieved the direct opposite. While from the technical POV this may be a great a movie, it lacks one thing I want to see in any movie I watch: A story worth telling! The whole script seems to be a slightly changed remake of A.I. - Artificial Intelligence, without ever reaching it's depth. It's the first time I noticed that a rating actually described the maximum age at which one should watch this movie (6 years) The disappointment is even bigger when you realize that the (English) voice-over actors represent some of the creme de la creme of Hollywood (Charlize Theron, Donald Sutherland, Nicholas Cage, Alan Tudyk, etc), one would think that they normally wouldn't want their names attached to such a junk. A note that every director (especially this one) should have attached to his bathroom mirror is: "If you don't have a story to tell: DON'T MAKE A MOVIE!" My rating: (If I was only 6 years old and had never watched A.I. this might have been 3.5 stars. But sadly both premises are wrong for me) (From Michael's random reviews on October 20th, 2010) Hulk vs. Wolverine, a review by addicted2comicsHulk vs. Wolverine The Plot:The Canadian government sends in Wolverine to bring down the Hulk after he supposedly wrecked numerous villages across the border reaching civilization. After being hit by tranqs, Wolvie wakes up to Weapon X, who caused the destruction, wanting to make Logan and the Hulk their own personal super-weapon. My Thoughts: This movie, all be it on the short side, is one I always love to watch. I like the animation, awesome fight scenes, and it gets real serious without getting too far down that road. Why? An old favorite of mine, DeadPool, keeps stealing the spotlight here. It has blood, humor, explosions, and a cute surprise scene after the end credits. I can't help it, gotta give this one a 5 out of 5.
