Still tough to call.
It looks like they did a good job in keeping the wonderful shapes and style of Astro Boy, which is a monumental task figuring his art is right up there with the classics of Animation, and still to this day is some of the most iconic and original ever created.
Next problem is story, since Astro Boy (and many of the Creator's other works) are VERY deep and adult, so there's an easy pitfall if they create a very dumb story- When there's some great timeless themes in Astro Boy.
I predict it will be good, perhaps great, but can't hold a candle to the original, but is a nice tribute to it.
The other people who see it, like Speed Racer, will ignore all cinematic and technical or story quality simply because they don't really know or care about the source material.
