Good, but not without it's flaws

Rating: 9/10 (11 November 2004)

Wow, just wow. I truly enjoyed this movie. I missed Mr. Bird's first movie, Iron Giant, but heard enough good things about it to give this a try. I was thoroughly pleased with this movie and it was filled with a lot more violence and death than I was expecting for what appeared to be a kids movie. The voice acting was superb if the character design was a little too stylized for my taste. Jason Lee's character really brought this home. He was the perfect choice for the character, but the dragonball z look did not translate well to cgi. Also, Sam Jackson's part was not utilized properly and why was the mom's butt so big?
Still, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to all my friends, but maybe not their kids.
9 out of 10
