    Unless you are British you may well leave the subtitles on for the English is as hard to understand as the Japanese. Really cool movie and with 10 years in the making one of the best animes out there. Animation is great as well as storyline and even touches upon some deeper implications in the world of science and technology and what it means to mankind.

    Quite fun, but ultimately not quite as cool as i had hoped. the english voice acting was terrible despite the a list cast.

    cool steampunk-ness though.

    Katsuhiro Ôtomo certainly achieve his goal of topping his science fiction classic "Akira" and securing his place as one of the greatest animation innovators with this unique film. Every single element from the characters, the world they live in and the technology is simply magical. An instant classic!

    The storyline was decent. The animation was incredible. If you are an artist, you will love this film. The cast was good for the Japanese voice overs. I did not get to watch it in English and I probably won't. So overall, I very nice film.

    Strong visuals, beautiful industrialized world, etc. Extremely weak plot. A fun watch, but little social value.

    Well I really really wanted to love it, but no amount of optimism can earn this one more than 3 stars. Although visually it's masterpiecal (not shockingly), the plot just isn't vast enough- it is actually suffocating to sit through the first hour without a break and frankly I felt myself getting bored, which is the ultimate movie negative- films should not bore, they are supposed to do the exact opposite. However, it still has some fascinating moments and a fucking epic finale. The soundtrack is also a killer...

    i am a complete sucker for a 2 hour long movie full of superb animation and an imense amount of originaliy. the storyline was ok, i think it may have been a little too big for how they went about telling it, but the entire movie had a great aspect of drama to it, it all seemed very epic. i loved it, despite the slow parts in the plot, it was really entertaining and a really cool movie.

    This was without exception the most gorgeous animated (and one of the most gorgeous even compared to some of the classic artistic flicks) movies I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. Every shot was a painting, worth stopping just to stare at and gasp appreciatively. Katsuhiro Otomo's 10 year labor of love, which involved creating an entirely new "system" (software?), charges in with the most detailed and abundant mechanicals you have ever seen. Animation is similiar to his previous Akira and also Miyazaki's work, but on steroids!

    It is not the best anime movie out there. It has potential; it could have been better. It has some amazing action scenes but it's too long and slow-paced that I got tired of watching it by the time it was on its climax. The characters aren't that interesting and distinctive too. But I absolutely love the themes.

    I WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE SO BAD, AND CAN'T GET A HOLD OF IT.
    FINALLY GOT A HOLD OF IT AND IT WAS SO WORTH THE WAIT, NOW ALL I NEED TO FIND IS METROPOLIS AND I'LL BE SET. OTOMO IS AMAZING AND THE ENGLISH CAST WAS GREAT.

    An original and wild ride. Staggeringly complex animated sequences help elevate Otomo's ambitious labour of love. Clearly, the work of an artist who isn't catering to public taste. Dynamite old-school score as well.

    from the director of the classical film Akira Katsuhiro Ôtomo brings us Steamboy.

    Set in Victorian England it followers the life id Ra stilm who receives a mysterious metal ball counting the power to control steam

    however men from th oharo fornication's a group that makes weapons what to used it to make a war machine to theater the world

    the animation to me is one of the best I have ever seen when I first saw this film I was blow away with the animation techhinque used for the film

    I also like how they have been able to create an anime and used some much animetion which help to create Victorian london

    with brilliant animation and a great storyline steam boy is the one for fans of anime

    No tiene el impacto de "Akira", ni siquiera de los filmes de Miyazaki, pero "Steamboy" es visualmente hermosa y muy entretenida. Quizas sea demasiado larga, pero definitivamente representa otro ejemplo de lo superior que es la animacion japonesa.

    Great, exciting movie from the director of Akira. It's less convoluted than that one and much easier to follow.
    And who doesn't love steampunk?

    Although nothing can top Akira, this beautiful presentation comes close. At some points you forget that's it an anime movie. Very impressed with it.

    A animaçăo é fantástica, mas a história é meio clichę e eu sei que o Katsuhiro Otomo poderia fazer melhor.
