Great despite itself

Rating: 8/10 (7 March 2020)

This film is great. It has cheesy dialogue. It has sequences that make no sense and have no function beside holding the story together. I don't understand why I love to see the Iron Giant march to battle (despite never seeing any of these movies). I DO understand why I love to see these Spartans sprinting to battle. Obviously I know that's what they exist to do, and it's what they're great at.
I think everybody takes away from this movie their favorite aspects of the 30+ years it covers. It's definitely got it's flaws. But at it's core it's a movie that most people will enjoy. And not just because it's yet another emotionless pile produced by Disney.
