Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
maxlovstedt This heartwarming film shows the great talent of director Brad Bird in every way.
Serg The Incredibles was my favorite movie, then Incredibles 2. So I decided to watch another Brad Bird's movie, The Iron Giant.It's brilliant, but from the first scene till the end it's a very sneaky communist propaganda. Why sneaky? Because it isn't too explicit, but If you know nothing about Soviet Union (for instance, if you are a kid!), you would think that it's a paradise on Earth. A paradise where people wish to live a different life, but being threatened with nukes by USA.Can someone be so talented in something that it comes on the account on other abilities? Like an ability to read? People didn't live in USSR a different life because they wanted to, definitely not all of them. How one can know that? It's simple: people were executed for just an attempt to leave it (like in any other commie regime in history - what a surprise). Isn't it enough to derive everything else from it?I really love all 3 movies. But after watching The Iron Giant I will not recommend them to anyone, not even Incredibles 2. Because like me, they may like it and may decide to watch The Sneaky Commie Iron Giant. But unlike me they may not be born in USSR or may not know what it is for some other reasons, like being kids.
eclaire-68264 The iron giant made in 1999 is one of the most original animations ever made. It's sweet , sad, and funny all at the same time. It's set in 1957 in Rockwell , Maine where an alien robot crash landed. The robot to be discovered first by a little adventurous boy named Hogarth. The robot and the boy soon formed an unlikely friendship which was very sweet . Hogarth taught the robot words and different meanings of things and the robot started to show that it has feelings . It's a heartwarming movie that I think everyone would enjoy. It's got many likeable characters and a villain detective who gets everything wrong. I would definitely recommend this movie to all families and animation lovers .
Dante's Peek This gotta be one of the best animated movies I have ever watched in my entire life of movie watching. You can watch this over and over again without getting bored. And every time I have watched, it makes me cry the ending. How an intelligent life from outer space is displayed within a robot that has a soul is indeed a fascinating idea on whoever wrote this. We should have more of this in the current era seriously. This, Ratatouille, WALL-E and The Incredibles. They have similarities of a nice evening of drama in fantasy. Don't miss out on any of them and show your kids this warm stuff.
