soo... i don't mean to sound repetitive, but i wanted to give my two cents

I thought that the pro's of the movie really shine and for the most part overpower the cons.

Music:
Although this was not the traditional Astro theme, I though John Ottman made a masterpiece with this movie. My favorite scene with his music is the "astro flies" scene, which left me near-speechless.

Animation:
Though not a pixar film, the animation is pretty spectacular. Except for tenma and his bone fingers, most of the characters looked great and the scenery was done well. Though on every change in camera angle, astro's hair spike switches sides on his head.

Plot:
Metro city... pretty weak. I don't care how polluted the earth becomes, there is no way that there would only be one civilization left... not just metro town.

Politics plagued the plot of president stone and his election campaign. Slogans like "Its not the time for change", and his endless babbling about his election became pretty obnoxious after a while. I don't care what the message is, but politics should not have been used in this movie.

The blue core, red core plot could have been really good, but as it was integral to stones plot, its promise was ruined.

The tenma-astro plot was done extremely well in my opinion. the Loss of toby, creation of astro and rejection of astro were all done very well.

Astro as a character is very likable and very "astro" if you know what i mean.

The hamegg plot was wonderful. I did not even think of him betraying astro until it actually happened. What a shock!

Side Characters:

Cora was a nice introduction to the series, but the rest were a little empty.

I'll update this but i have a hamlet essay to write..

@AmericanSailor

I agree with you a hundred percent. Also, what I dind' tlike was the fact that Stone kept babbling on the thing to use the peacekeeper to get him re-elected, but how? HOW?

Yeah, however in reality people don't make crazy military robots for no reason because they want to get re-elected :p

Seriously, the Peacekeeper plot was lacking.

I wanted to jump into the screen and slap the living hell out of this man until he actually became somewhat of a decent character. There truly was nothing likable about Stone and he was truly an annoying character.
