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. 从里到外，这部影片到处充斥着好莱坞式的标签。由于运用了3D技术，阿童木的人物造型看上去显得那么的花俏时髦，永不落伍；如此花俏的造型，以至于人们纷纷揣测他的身上究竟发生了些什么事。在新片中阿童木已经13岁了，我们的小英雄穿上了T恤和仔裤，面容也发生了改变。或许唯一能勾起回忆的就是他那标志性的发型。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. 电影情节一定程度上遵循原著内容，但也借鉴了好莱坞惯有的叙事手法。影片以未来世界一个名为大都会的城市作为背景，天才科学家天马博士在儿子托比意外丧生后，制造出一个拥有超能力的少年机器人（阿童木）。当天马博士发现这个机器人无法代替他早逝的儿子时，他遗弃了阿童木。随后，阿童木离开大都会去寻求认同感，最终他还是回到了大都会，打败了邪恶的史东总督并挽救了整个城市。The plot partly sticks to the original story but it also follows a typical Hollywood story line. It`s set in futuristic Metro City, where a brilliant scientist, Dr Tenma, creates a young robot (Astro Boy) with incredible powers after his son Toby dies in an accident. When he`s not able to replace the lost son, Astro Boy is abandoned. So he goes out in search of acceptance before returning to fight the evil President Stone and save Metro City 另外一些老掉牙的情节使得全片看起来有一点炒冷饭的味道：片中不乏个人英雄主义色彩（但这回我们的英雄是个机器人），善恶势力对比依然分明，两位主人公阿童木和柯娜（一个名为机器人科学小组的成员之一）之间也发生着微妙的化学反应。Some other stereotypes make the film a bit clichéd: there
