| MSNBCAlonso DuraldeOne of the most pleasant surprises I've had at the movies all year. |
| Tri-City HeraldGary WolcottI have just one complaint. It should have been 3-D. A solid, kid-friendly story with a floating city filled with high-tech gizmos and gadgets deserves the extra dimension. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowIf you think it's a good idea to begin a movie for children by killing off a young boy in an industrial accident as his father looks on, raise your hand. Anyone? |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaPode não ser tecnicamente perfeito, mas acerta no mais importante: cria e desenvolve um personagem carismático, complexo e tocante. E que, portanto, merece sua própria franquia nos cinemas. |
| Christianity TodayRuss BreimeierMore than anything, Astro Boy is simply fun to watch. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunFull of complex emotion and crackling adventure, Astro Boy hits the big screen after 58 years in comics and TV. |
| Filmcritic.comBill Gibronfails to satisfy on any emotional or intellectual level. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekDecked out in snazzy computer-generated animation, but comes across as more rote than exhilarating. |
| Birmingham PostRoz LawsThere's plenty of exciting action to keep little ones amused and enough clever and funny touches to make sure adults aren't bored either. |
| Empire Magazine AustralasiaBen McEachenA smart, snappy upgrade doesn't tarnish memories of a childhood favourite. |
