Title: Toothpicks to keep my eyes open.
Review: What a steaming pile this was. I had the unfortunate opportunity to see this film in the theater and took it. Katsuhiro Otomo has a fantastic reputation as an illustrator, author, and director. However, this does not excuse him from the prolonged banality that is called STEAMBOY. Though there is stunning animation, that is no excuse for the shallow character development and weak plot that permeates this film. Moreover, rampant explosions and wanton violence at the end (sorry for the spoiler, but AKIRA fans will know what I'm talking about) were not enough to erase the placid nothingness that forced this viewer to try and keep from nodding off for almost two hours. I must make a point that I am a big fan of Otomo's comics and the film version of Akira. Visually it lives up to his artistic reputation. Falling short doesn't even come close to describing how deep in the hole the rest of this movie has descended.
