Movie Reviews of The Iron Giant
Movie Review: The Iron Giant
Summary: 4 Stars
It has pretty much been covered by other reviewers. A boy finds a robot that has crash landed and lost his memory and befriends him. Mother worries about everything, government is looking for the crashed meteor and hot on the trail of the robot which must be a Commie invention sent to blast Americans into oblivion. Now what makes this animated story stand out is the animation, music, and soul of the story. One of the best animated movies I have seen and so at this price I can't pass adding it to my DVD library any longer. BTW, in the event you can't find it here, check DeepDicount.com too. Great quality DVD with plenty of replayability. If you enjoyed this, catch "Robots" and "The Robinsons". - C. LusterMovie Review: One of the greatest animated stories
Summary: 5 Stars
After spending a month watching Studio Ghibli films I had to write a review on one of the most overlooked animated movies. 'The Iron Giant' is a story of a young boy named Hogarth growing up during the Cold War who comes acorss a giant robot. Like most young boys when they come across a giant robot is to make friends with it. Now he has to keep him hidden from a worrysome mother and paranoid government agent. This is one of the most heartfelt movies I have ever seen and it's not even a Disney movie. The characters are so well made and voices chosen really allow them to connect with the viewers. I loved how the movie really depicted the time of the innocent 1950's with all the pop culture references as well. Still the bond between Hogarth and the Iron Giant is heartwarming and real you will want to watch this movie again and again. Movie Review: The real Iron Man
Summary: 5 Stars
The animated take on Ted Hughes' book Iron Man is a well done, entertaining version. Brought to the big screen format by Pete Townshend (The Who) and Des McAnuf (Broadway musical Tommy). While the movie story line differs considerably in spots from the original story, it still does a great job of conveying the message. My son has watched it a dozen times, and that has curbed his appetite for the current version of Marvel's Iron Man, in the movies now. Movie Review: Maybe the finest animated film ever...
Summary: 5 Stars
I came here tonight to buy the DVD because I've rented it so many times from Blockbuster I decided it was time we owned it. My husband and I both adore this film, and our 7 year old just loves it. That so many people have never even HEARD of it stuns us! Someone did a pathetic job marketing it, because I can't think of a single other animated film that has touched my heart the way this one does. In my opinion, one of the finest animated films of all time. The plot, the direction, the characters, the actors, and most of all, the message - everything about it is perfect, purely perfect. Not just for children at all - I cry every single time. When I hear "Superman..." I picture The Iron Giant - not Christopher Reeve.
This is a film that everyone should own, and everyone should watch, whether they have children or not. You'll fall in love with it, because this film is perfect - in every way.
Movie Review: More People Should See This Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a shame that this movie didn't get more recognition. It's so well made and the story is beautiful; this film should be considered a classic.
My favorite thing about The Iron Giant is the way the relationship between the boy and Giant are portrayed. They're not the typical "Laugh-out-Loud at our crazy gimmicks" duo; you can see that they genuinley learn from each other as their friendship grows.
