a truly great movie!

Rating: Null/10 (26 September 2006)

The Iron Giant is one of the best movies I have ever seen, if not THE BEST--all genres considered. My 3 yr old son absolutely adores it, and watches it about 3 times a day. Therefore I watch it about 3 times a day, and I can tell you honestly, I never get tired of seeing it, even after the 75 times I've watched it so far. Every time I still laugh out loud, and tears swell in my eyes. My husband actually introduced us to it, as he loves it as well. Not surprising; it is one of the best written, most touching movies I have had the pleasure of watching over...and over...and over.
I don't know why this didn't do well at the box office. Too inconsequential for the public I guess, most likely passed off as another Disney rip-off. There are no cheap tears here, or cheesy gags of any kind. This movie is the real thing. Just take a look at the robots for sale on Ebay (I was going to buy one for my son but $200 is a bit pricey) People are finally realizing how wonderful this film is and it is slowly becoming a cult classic. Buy it up while you can still find it!
