"It came from outer space!"

Rating: 8/10 (8 October 2011)

A boy makes friends with an innocent alien giant robot that a paranoid government agent wants to destroy.
This film is really good. It's almost like a childhood memory that every time you watch it, it's a different experience. This may be one of my favorite animated movies of all time. The Iron Giant illustrates friendship in a somewhat odd way, with a robot from outer space. The writing and the voicing is almost perfect and the whole animation thing wears away a little after you keep watching. It feels like a real movie with real emotions and that's what it is. I swear the ending is chilling and emotional to see. But the film bonds together the two in the most unique way and the kid shows the Iron Giant rules and lessons about the world they live in. So that pretty much sums it up, this film is a beautiful experience with a heartwarming friendship that is so interesting to see unfold. Aside from being animated (not really that big of a problem, especially how you just forget about it) this film is a must-see. 8/10.
