Overall this was a good movie. It has some good philosophy in it... what is the use of science. All the technology in the movie was completely improbable, but it was interesting to see where the author went with the general steam punk genre.

Overall I think I will give with an 8/10.

I saw this a while back but i found the animation incredibly amazing even up to par with recent anime.

lol.... what a movie... it was a little strange and good experience watching it.. there were good and bad moments in it ^^ but i guess there'll always be things like that :P

Brilliant animation and fantastic setting, but there was something missing.

Gave it an 8.

Wohohow... I'm impressed, my friends. This is the best non-3D grapghics I've ever seen. Yes, you've understood correctly -- the best, both static and dynamic (especially dynamic!) scenes. All physical effects are made excellent. A little bit of 3D is making the whole thing just more cool. Ubercool.
Sound is good, but nothing special.
Japanese voice actors are cool.
Setting is realized great, the world looks alive.
Original and qualitive.
Plot is good, so as the characters, though... characters could be better. Authors should take care of heartiness, but meaybe it looks like that 'cause Steamboy is too epic and fabulous and emphasizes it too much, IMO. That's only defect for me.

Depending on your taste, you can rate this movie up to 10 (more 'cause of orginality than something else), but it deserves not less than 8, and that's my rating for Steamboy.

P.S.: Scarlett O'Hara looks like old-school Paris Hilton :D

VISUAL SPECTACLE!

Splendid movie, how can you ever be disappointed with Mr. Otomo and the Studio 4ºC team when they release things such as this? It's impossible... How can people dislike this style of movie is beyond me! I love sci-fi stories in the old european industrial era setting, and this movie freaking delievers at that! Characters, story and everything else was good, but what really steals the show are the production values, a trademark of Studio 4ºC, some of the best in the anime industry.

Good animation and story but something is missing. Nice way to start a science fact and alot story follows too 8/10

The animation was amazing. The music sounded nice, some tracks were outstanding. I watched it with English dubbing, which was suprisingly good. As a fan of steampunk, I enjoyed the story and setting very much. Characters were likable, though I think it's the thing that could be improved the most... But maybe because it was only a movie, not TV series or something which would let learn more about characters and have better view on their development. I gave this movie 9/10.
Also, haha, Scarlet became a pilot (and had red hair, wtf)? :D

I really enjoyed the story and good/evil questionings of this anime. There was no absolute villains, rather overlapping ideas. Also steampunk themed productions are pretty rare which makes it worth to watch alone. But I agree with you guys,I felt like there was something missing too. Gave it a 8/10.

That was awesome! It got epic towards the end. This steam ball thing is an excellent idea.
Some elements I did not like but overall the movie did not disappoint. The dub was great and the animation was superb.

Whew,they didn't kiss at the end.
Otherwise,great animation and nice art.The muisc was pretty nice too. 7/10

Yeah, I almost thought they were, and that woulda been bad, bad, bad.

Really enjoyed this. Not perfect, but very worth the two hours.
