Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
David Bowers' retro-cool update on the titular icon looks so great, it may take a while to notice it's a clunky political parable wrapped in a tonally confused fairy tale.
– Elizabeth Weitzman,

rotten:
I just felt like this was a mistranslation -- almost trying to combine the slightly sinister, cold world of Japanese anime with the warm, sentimental, fuzzy, bouncy world of Hollywood kid animation.
– A.O. Scott,

rotten:
Bowers's play-it-straight attitude towards the material combined with the crisp, if unspectacular, animation doesn't allow 'Astro Boy' a moment to bob its head above the ever-swelling digimation pack.

rotten:
The animation bar has been raised, and not just by Pixar. Poor little Astro Boy hasn't a prayer of clearing it.

rotten:
Like its supersonic, jets-in-his-feet hero, the movie itself feels totally robotic.
