The Iron Giant is a fun little movie. I can see why Pixar asked Brad Bird to direct their animated feature. This film has a heart and it plays on every boy's dream: to be friends with a giant robot.
The Iron Giant is a wonderfull movie trully wonderful with a message about "be yourself" and "you choose who you wanna be" etc. Really good movie witrh message for kids and some jokes like "Supermaaaan" and sad in the end my little sister cried when the Giant sacrifices to save the town but in the very end, when the pieces of the Giant start moving towards the head in Iceland realizing its alive she stopped crying and smiled really a nice movie for all audiences sit, pop-corn and enjoy!
I first saw this movie when I was 11 years old. I am now currently 28 years old and I still love this movie as much as I did back then. It's one the best animated films that has ever been created in my personal opinion. This is a movie everyone should experience.
1957, the Russians have just launched Sputnik and Cold War fear and paranoia is the order of the day. Hogarth Hughes lives with his mom, Annie, in the small town of Rockwell, Maine. One day a very large robot lands on earth from outer space. After some adventures, Hogarth befriends the robot. However, the US government has sent a special agent to investigate the strange occurrences in the area (unbeknownst to them, caused by the robot) and his intentions towards what's causing the phenomena are less benevolent.Predictable and dull. Quite conventional, linear story with an overused, unoriginal story line. Replace the robot with any other harmless creature that a kid might befriend but the authorities will be suspicious of and you have the plot for heaps of children's movies. Doesn't add anything new or profound and is only mildly entertaining.Kids should like it though. Is essentially a made-for-kids movie and they won't be disappointed.
