Stand by Me Doraemon

Nice to see Doraemon again on big screen. That's a new image on 3D environment, slightly different from that on 2D effect.

The storyline is simple, not too drastic or dramatic. But the good news it involved is Daxiong marries Jingxiang in the 22nd century. That is what we hope to see.

As a warm-hearting story, Doraemon stands for my childhood and is a child player in memory. When I arrived at home after class, the first thing was to open TV to watch Doraemon cartoon. I was totally fascinated by his amazing gadgets and secret magic-power because he can help Daxiong solve any problems. I was dreaming that's the most sweet thing if Doraemon is mine.

This story has gone through 80 years and keeps going. But Doraemon is still young, vivid and enjoyable.

I'm sorry but for a long time Doraemon fan this doesn't surprise me. Delight, yes, because it wraps up the story very nicely. But every single point in the movie you can find scattered all over the comic book, the movie was just collecting the bits from the comic book and bundle it into one and make a nice graphic for it. But it's really NOT anything new. It's a story all of us has already known before. I rated it 6/10 not because I don't like the story, because everyone who loves Doraemon can't possibly NOT love the story. But I don't like the fact that they didn't give me something new which I looked forward too. Also, the way it was presented was so over-the-top. I usually felt some emotion watching any of Doraemon's adventure movie series, like Doraemon and Dinosaurs, or Doraemon in the Animal Kingdom, in Robot World, etc. Even I can feel something in the normal weekly series. But because Stand By Me is very over-the-top, I can't believe the flow of the emotion one bit. It didn't get to me. This speaks volume since I'm a super crybaby and even nowadays I can still cry watching mere commercials!

Oh by the way, I'm 31, and have been watching Doraemon since I was Nobita's age.

Growing up watching tons of Doraemon, I feel obliged to see this like a ritual.

While the technical aspects excels incredibly, I feel the script is too sensational. Never in my life have we cried for a Doraemon episode, but this predictable story makes everyone sob.

On the whole, I cannot say I do not like it. But I cannot say I like it either. It seems it is made with a lot of sincerity and uplifting for kids who are a little insecure about themselves. But I think it is unnecessarily tear-jerking, as in the director's previous work The Eternal Zero. Just a little overly sensational. I cried a few times and I think it is the style of the director who likes to make you cry. But I think he could have achieved the same result without jerking audience's tears.

But I love the surreal and realistic graphics! The street scene and small room of Japanese house make me miss Japanese life so much. The use of light, the character's hair, the clouds, even the neighborhood scene, etc, give a very warm feeling. The ride in the future is fantastic. And Doraemon's gadgets are forever magical! There is also a strong moral that we have to do things by ourselves and never give up. Perhaps it is a Japanese virtue to sacrifice oneself for others. On that point maybe the story could have added more details.

O. The theme song is lovely and I still hum it from time to time.

Some of the plots were old, but I still enjoyed watching this. Doraemon is the best, ever.

This film is absolutely touching that I cried everyone when watched it !!Doraemon is always my favourite cartoon and I love this film so much.Everyone should watch it!
