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.

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.

lonely kid and nonhuman… my favorite trope

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

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

- Honestly this movie would’ve been a love if his sacrifice at the end stayed a sacrifice and not him coming back
- Overall a very entertaining movie 🤖

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.

yes

I forgot this movie existed.
