The Iron Giant Reviews

IM NOT CRYING, YOU’RE CRYING! I would love to get an iron giant tattoo anywhere ever. It’s so good. Top 2 animated movies.

Honestly, one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. It starts out a little abstract, vaguely scary for little kids, then becomes a comedy in the middle, and ends out as a drama that will make you cry for multiple different reasons and will leave you sobbing for at least an hour.

lonely kid and nonhuman… my favorite trope

One of those movies I saw as a kid and it always stuck with me. Love the animation and was always one of my like comfort movies as a kid, still love is as an adult. And some how Vin Diesel still gets paid millions to say 3 words.

Need to see it again but I liked it as a kid

Definitely a comfort watch for me. It gives off the same vibes as The Wild Robot and Big Hero 6. The animation style is so striking, and the whole thing is just incredibly wholesome. My heart is full.

Me and my sister use to watch this every day. I’d recommend it.
I’m tryna get the icon thing

Literally incredible

6/10

9.0 - What a welcome trip down memory lane.

I’m lowkey shocked that I loved this so much as a child. Its themes are big & pretty heavy for a kids movie. Xenophobia, militarism, gun control, just general genuine empathy. It’s uniquely animated, it has so much depth & genuine emotion. The little corner of the world it creates feels so authentic. And despite its heavy themes & tight tie in to the Cold War, there’s still plenty for kids to get from it. My 7 & 5 yos were still thoroughly engaged despite my thinking most of it is going over their head in the moment. Can’t go 20+ years without watching this again.

Brad Bird does this cool animated mimic of a dolly zoom in some of his movies, especially in this one, that I find really creative. A very effective way to spice up a shot sequence.

My favorite childhood movie omggg

For an animated film it slaps and definitely worth the watch the ending made me cry but I have mixed feelings on the Iceland bit it should have ended with the screw however this film had my full attention and I didn’t lose interest once overall a solid 9/10 could have been better

certified classic 😎 👌

Childhood classic

3/10

Kids movie

While youngsters will enjoy the film on one level, it reaches out to adults on a completely different plane. They will see an allegory about power and politics and the danger of allowing either to run roughshod over humanity.
