Movie Reviews of The Iron Giant
Movie Review: This was so ignored in theatres...
Summary: 5 Stars
I fell in love with this precocious little boy and his iron alien friend the first time my family saw it in theatres. So of course I had to have the special edition DVD, bought cheaply because, for some odd reason, the uncultured masses have no appreciation for this story.
Trust me. Pop this into the DVD player and enjoy one of the most magical movies to come along in a while.
Set during the Cold War, this is the story of young Hogarth Hughes who is not only cursed with that awful name but a gifted mind that has popped into an older grade where he is tormented by bullies. His single mom works as a waitress, so Hogarth is pretty much on his own until an adventure leads him to discover a giant robot that happens to have no idea why he is there. What he is? Where did he come from? What is his mission? Such questions are thrown to the back as Hogarth makes his first real friend and is lead on a myriad of further adventures. As for the Giant, does his purpose matter in comparison to what he wants for himself?
These themes are explored through some truly three-dimensional characters: Hogarth's mom (voiced wonderfully by the lovely Jennifer Aniston), a local junk artist/beatnik, a villainous government agent sent to see what all the fuss is.
This movie is an emotional and animation gem that is so underappreciated it's not funny.

I saw this movie a few years ago and forgot about it. I saw that Amazon had it for a great price so I ordered it for my nephew and he loves it. He is going to be 8 years old and my sister called me the other day to tell me that he loves the movie and has watched it many times already. for the price i would recomend that anyone who buys this DVD from Amazon should buy the Special EditionMovie Review: One of the best kids movies out there!!

I bought this for my niece and she watches it everyday. I believe there is a small wonderful message in this video that could benefit all children and maybe even a few adults !!
