I watched Mary and Max a long time ago, but I don't remember Max to be robotic, retarded, or without emotion. In fact, quite the opposite. Max reacted very strongly on certain events, he was super-emotional. I didn't perceive Max as mentally retarded at all. Sure, he had some funny quirks (i.e. his love for those candybars), but I didn't relate that to his Asperger's syndrome.

I liked the movie, but pacing near the end of the movie felt a bit off.
