SuchĂŽmubĂ´i [Region B] (English audio. English subtitles)

Watch with the sound off!
The animation is flawless and rather liked the concept. Its beautifully imaginative and visually stunning so for that I've given 3 stars. BUT....and as a Brit from Yorkshire this is a big but, the butchered British accents are truly appalling to the point where they are offensive to the ears. The Yorkshire accents in particular are excruciatingly painful to listen to and makes it very hard to watch. If regional accents were so important to the plot I don't know why they didn't hire the numerous British actors available that could have done a decent job. This may not be a big deal to people from other countries but if you live in the UK the audio will definitely grate.

I'm glad I didn't pay too much for this to be ...
the actual animation was absolutely outstanding and can see where the money went and was actually in awe of it! the storyline itself was a bit wishy washy and I was incredibly distracted by ray steams appalling accent! I'm glad I didn't pay too much for this to be honest as there are much better anime out there. disappointed to be honest that considering how much was spent on this they could've spent a little more time on the storyline and also a better actor to do the voice of ray steam?

Steamboy DVD (Sony Pictures Ver.) Review
Before you start reading below i will have to mention this is not so much a review of the film itself as it is the actual release of the movie, its a good film, but this is only a review of the release, read other reviews if you don't care about the release but the movie itself.I am used to buying anime releases published by Manga and MVM Entertainment, this Sony Pictures release does not come with the Japanese voice track, now, thats a problem to me because i like hearing the original voice cast, it may not be a problem for some as the movie is actually set in Victorian age England, the problem is - other anime films by Sony Pictures have been released with the Japanese voice track, in fact i bought a copy of Tekkonkinkreet with this movie and it came with the Japanese voice track, whats up with that?The English dubbing itself is alright, but it feels sort of cheap to only have one voice track when other releases by the same company have many, 4 stars for the release, but the movie is a 5 star.Sorry if i sound too nitpicky.

English-only dub... not for me
This is clearly a monster work although - like Akira - maybe somewhat overlong and a bit slow plot-wise. I'd be more than happy with the excellent animation if it had a Japanese dub to go with it (it does have two kinds of English subtitles).I'll be looking at the Director's Cut in the hope of a Japanese dialogue track. I always find an English dub (I'm English) breaks the spell... and English never syncs properly anyway. Also, it's quite common to find key plot points rescripted for better sync (but poorer sense).

Great but...
Doesn't quite live up to AKIRA and the running time on the back of the Blu-Ray is a lie it's actually 126 minutes, not 100, but other than that a superbly animated and voiced film...

The UK Blu Ray release IS the Director’s Cut!
Arrived in the mail today. Although both the slipcase and disk jacket have incorrectly listed the running time as 99 mins I can verify that this is the Director’s Cut that runs...

Runs Out Of Steam Pretty early On
Excellent Voice Artists and Apparently Huge Budget does not a good film make,for One thing it could have been slashed by about 20 minutes and also the Story is Nothing special.
