Iron Giant

Pros: Funny, easy to watch

Cons: None

Review: While looking for a movie on the DSS that both myself and my kids would actually agree on, I happened across Iron Giant. Well, my 10 year-old son thought it would be to childish, but we watched it anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The humor was...

Pros: Clever plot, great animation

Cons: Can't think of anything bad to say.

Review: If you're looking for a good rental the whole family will enjoy, The "Iron Giant" is more than that! I was quite surprised at how entertaining this film became. It offers action, spectacular animation, and clever plot. Although timeless in many...

Pros: Great story, good acting and characters...

This is a very well done movie. It has a lot of quality to it. The animation is great. The characters are great. The storyline is great. It is a lot of fun to watch, sometimes it is funny, sometimes it is...

Pros: The story was magnificent, good ending.

Cons: Cliche antagonist, Washington man attacks alien robot etc..

Review: Why would an adult watch a video made for kids? Well, our family rented this video for the children in our house hold. When I sat down to watch this video I thought it was going to be just another silly movie about outer space robots. I couldn't...

Pros: Fresh Look, non-violent message

Cons: none

Review: When I took my four-year old son to see Iron Giant, I thought I'd be bored,and my wife was upset that I was exposing our son to more needless violence. We both couldn't have been more wrong.
The retro look of the film's animation brought me back...

Pros: warmth, good story

Cons: villain character, sometimes lacks continuity

Review: "The Iron Giant" has most everything an adult
could ask of a children's movie. The kids will
enjoy it, and so will the grown-ups. There's
warmth, values, friendship, some scariness to
make things exciting, but a happy ending to

Pros: Shows how paranoid people of the past were in the Cold War

Cons: Not appropriate for younger children

The Bottom Line: Iron Giant is a very different movie that will introduce a child to the concepts and paranoia of the Cold War times of the USA.

Review: Last week at work we had a long conversation about the situation with the Cold War with nuclear and atomic bomb threats by the Soviet Union. My boss especially told us that they used to have bomb drills in school and how stupid now he realizes they...

Pros: good animation, characters, story

Cons: not quite enough depth

Review: When watching this film, my thoughts harkened back to the days of my youth, waking up on saturday morning, getting something to eat, and settling down to watch Frankenstein Jr. (and his pal, a small boy named Buzz). The book this film was based on...

Pros: Strong story, great retro-style animation

Cons: Some sad bits, but smiles all round

Review: I guarantee once you see this great movie once, you will want to watch it over and over. It is everything I want in a movie for kids - a real story, characters you can care about, a moral lesson (but not given with a sledgehammer), humor and heart...

Pros: surprising animation, unique story

Cons: over the top villian

Review: Being kind of a connoiseur of animated film I rented this movie with reservations. Much to my delight{although not quite Disneyesque} the animation was exceptional. The storyline involves a boy who befreinds a giant robot circa the late 1950's. The...
