I've heard mostly bad things about this movie. I'm not all that much of an Akira fan either, and Otomo's films often seem disjointed and nonsensical to me, and i wouldn't expect anything different from Steamboy. I haven't seen it yet mind you, because Sony did a crap job of releasing it in th UK (being forced to buy a special edition directors cut with a few hundred pages of extra material just to get the Japanese language track isn't worthwhile IMO, because I don't want all that unneccessary clutter for a film I probably won't even like all that much).

Tempted to order this version though: https://www3.cd-wow.com/detail_result...subcat=region2 it looks like a german version of the directors cut. You don't get English audio (because it's a german release), but you get english subtitles for the Japanese audio. And it's a cheaper edition than any we can get in the UK.
