I had zero expectations watching this movie but this character, Noby, had no redeeming qualities whatsoever, even Doraemon said so himself. This is not a story of an underdog getting what he deserves, this is a tale of a loser who can't do anything himself and cheats to get what he doesn't deserve. The plot makes zero sense whatsoever. His future great great grandson comes from the future to stop Noby from marrying the fat girl. Wait, wouldn't that mean the kid wouldn't exist? Noby doesn't stop crying and his character is so over the top and he never grows up yet still gets the girl. Unless you're an obsessed japanaphile then ignore this garbage.

Stand By Me Doraemon is basically the origin story of the anime classic. This is where we see how the two main characters, Doraemon and Nobita, meet and learn the purpose of their bond until it builds into a long friendship. At this aspect, it's pretty adorable and engaging. Though most of the time it's basically just Doraemon helping out Nobita with his gadgets from the future and also sometimes use it to impress the other kids around. The first act of the film is friendly fun, but when it proceeds to its actual center, it starts out quite intriguing and compelling. There is some point in the theme that kind of misses some stronger opportunities, but when it sticks to its characters, Stand By Me Doraemon is still pretty fun.The film opens introducing the daily life of Nobita who has been conforming in his clumsiness and mediocrity until he meets his descendant from the next four generations who traveled back to past with a robot cat named Doraemon. He sent Doraemon to help him live his better so he could alter a supposedly disappointing fate. It's clearly a tale about avoiding the consequences of continuing bad habits until the very future. It also tells about the value of doing things for yourself and not being too reliant on special gadgets or anything that makes thing inconsequentially simple. It's a nice message, though the film should have given the main character more motivations than just marrying the girl that he wants in the future. It's a cute coming-of-age story arc, but again, it might have been more interesting if it finds more advantages on his own improvements as a person. In fact, some parts that take place in the future doesn't look like he abandons much of his old habits. But it's all about the character, I guess. It's still a nice storyline, but it would have been much engaging if it digs more potential on that theme.The best parts are likely the ones that made the show so likable. It's just the simple, episodic moments when Doraemon is just giving Nobi some of his gadgetry to help him amend his mistakes or just play with the other kids. It's creative, it's funny and it's filled with delight. The film does feel a little too long at its final act where it's basically just a drama of Doraemon leaving on his sight, but it does conclude into a sweeter ending. It's just kind of dragging, but I believe it's to create an atmosphere of emotions. If that's the purpose, then it can be effective. The animation sort of looks like a higher quality video game; a good looking one, much like Billy Hatcher. Though what really makes it impressive is how it resembles to an actual handwritten animation, from the silly expressions of the characters, to their world's own laws of physics. The version I saw is an English dubbed one and it's sort of okay, if you could let go of the voices in the version you grew up with.Stand by Me Doraemon leaves enough good-natured fun and heart in end. The theme of the story also made it worth it, though I still have suggestions to it. But as a movie that tries to bring nostalgia or introduce the characters to a new audience, this movie is just warm and delightful enough to be appreciated, and even for something that seems to be a family movie, this does make the viewers think in its lessons. It's wonderful and heartwarming, it may not be quite groundbreaking, but you'll get what you'd like to see in it.

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.

We all know that Doreamon is one of our first anime that we ever saw as a kid. I watch all the episode and it reflects on every episode that has been air on the show. The movie gives us meaning through our lives, it taught us it is by our hands that we can change and mold our own destiny. I love the sad moments in this movie it because reflect on your daily lives. the movie actually reflect on everyone's life, from getting bullied or failing on a test or getting a hug from the girl you like or even getting marriage. This movie is really a emotional roller coaster and it is a reminder of what it would be like to be that kid who fail in school, loved but rejected and bullied in school. The graphic is amazing, it is better than the original picture doraemon shows from (1975 - 1999). To not spoil the movie too much you need to watch it, I can guarantee you will be crying for joy, happiness and sadness.Well this is my perspective of the movieBest regardsSam Widjaja facebook/mrhato for feedback :)
