Brilliant Movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2005)

The Iron Giant - what can I say? This movie, starring Friends star Jennifer Anisten and Harry Connick Jr, is a heartwarming movie not only for children but adults. This movie has laughs, tension and the ending is so sad it will bring you to tears.
The movie is based around Hogarth, a small boy who doesn't fit in and who lives with his single mother Annie. One day, a giant metal man falls from the sky, scaring everybody witless, except Hogarth who befriends the giant and hides him away from the US Army when the investigator is looking for him.
The giant - voiced by Vin Diseal - is a beautifully made character who you grow to love more and more as the movie goes on. The end is heartbreaking and the last scene is a fantastic way to end the movie.
Laughs are made all the way through the movie and my personal favourite part was when Hogarth was trying to get the giants hand out of the bathroom, in doing so, creating so much noise that his mother and Kurt - the inspector - run upstairs and storm in on him on the toilet.
This movie is fantastic and no one should miss the chance to experience such a marvellous film. Top marks.
