Review of The Iron Giant (1999) by Freedomfighters — 04 Jun 2018

You know, after reviewing "The Angry Birds Movie" and being juuuuuust a little negative towards it, I'm so happy that I can follow that up by reviewing an animated masterpiece. "The Iron Giant" really is that, a masterpiece.

It's a film with animation that still looks breathtaking nearly 20 years later, it's a film that handles mature themes of death and relationships in a way that'll have you think twice about the idea of "all animated films being kiddy flicks," it's a film that's hilarious but also exciting, it's a film with brilliant characters like the charming Hogarth, the witty Dean, and the sinister and complex Mr.

Mansley, but most importantly, it's a film that shines through with its title character, the Giant himself, a character that's both badass and adorable, and easy to love. It's a film that has stood the test of time, and it's a film that deserves to be watched not only by fans of animation, but by fans of films in general.

It's a true masterpiece of filmmaking, and if there's anything I can criticize, it's that it took me until now to finally watch the film. Don't make the same mistake I did. Watch "The Iron Giant.

" And if you've seen it already...well, good, but go watch it again! It's truly a breathtaking film.
