This Patrick Swayze's drama film was a disaster. This predictable tale of a former addict who tries to patch things up with his family does little to entertain anyone.

I was exciting to see this first Japanese's TV Manga series goes into the motion picture at finally with use CGI because I'm such a fan of the title hero when I was a kid in the early 1980s from watching it on ABC-TV (Australia's TV channel).
With Pixar-Disney and DreamWorks Animation dominating the CGI front, Astro Boy comes as something from left-field. Produced by Hong Kong-based Imagi Animation Studios and directed by David Bowers, it has the requisite big name voice cast and technical gee-wizardry, but it's also something truly different. Its rich atmospherics are strongly influenced by anime, which is fitting considering the original Astro Boy television show's pioneering place in that genre.
That's just the start of an adventure that's loaded with fantastic action and tremendous characters. But there are deeper themes amongst the stunning computer-generated visuals - such as alienation, destiny and discrimination. Like all great films, much care has been invested into the minor characters, and the voice cast is uniformly excellent (Bill Nighy's sympathetic Dr. Elefun and Donald Sutherland's power-hungry President Stone are stand-outs).

I love that movie as Harrison Ford is fantastic as his character on the run. I watched that movie more than 50 times.

I am a very fan of Marvel's superhero and loved that movie better than late 1970's TV series.
