New Astro Boy : not quite the same

                
                
THOSE of you who grew up watching Astro Boy cartoons and want to keep alive the memory of those good old days just might find yourself disappointed with this. It's the film version of Astro Boy and this time around it doesn't help your nostalgia–it's just another computer-animated film.
Inside and out, this film has the "Hollywood" brand all over it. Thanks to 3D technology, the Astro Boy character has never looked "fancier"–so fancy, in fact, that people keep wondering what happened to him. Now that he's 13 years old in the film, the little hero's put on a shirt and pants and has a different face. Perhaps the only thing that's recognizable is his signature hairstyle.
