Summary: In the top 3 this year....
Review: I'd put this movie in with the best of the year so far... Right up there with American Beauty and The Sixth Sense. This is not just a kids movie, as other reviewers have mentioned. It is easily one of the best animated movies of all time- while it didn't have the ad push or big-budget effects Tarzan had, it had something that Tarzan never really was able to show- a heart. If you missed this in the theater, try it on video or DVD... you won't regret it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Like the Simpsons, this film works on lots of levels
Review: Want to see great animation without sitting through singing and goofy animal sidekicks? The Iron Giant will be a dream come true for you. On the surface a film about a boy that becomes friends with giant robot seems uninteresting, But it is not. For me, I have not experienced this type of wonder watching a movie since I was 7 watching Star Wars back in 1977. See this movie!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie for kids!
Review: We live in a small town in Alaska. My wife was out of town visiting her parents and I was home alone with our five children. Not much to do for family entertainment if there is nothing on TV. Iron Giant was playing at our theatre and while I was not too excited to go, our kids were thrilled. I left our twins with a babysitter and took our other three children (ages 9,6 and 4). They had a great time. The four-year-old did not think it was too scarey (he's a boy) and his older sisters thought it was a fun and exciting movie. They are dying to get this video and it will make a great Christmas stocking stuffer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great movie!! Disney, Eat your heart out!
Review: This movie has something for everyone. It has a great plot, good character developement, and unbelievable animation. It deserves a look by anyone who has ever dreamed of things and wished they were true.

The only shortfall this movie suffered was terrible marketing. They picked a poor name for the movie and capped it off with virtually no advertising until 2 days before its release. This movie should have rivalled any Disney movie in earnings but WB just didn't get behing the movie.

Fun for all ages and Highly recommended!!!

Summary: exquisite, compassionate, humourous, 3 cheers for gentleness
Review: rethinking of what compassion, peace, tolerance, understanding, friendship, and all those other wondrous - and seemingly forgotten - virtues mean, especially in today's cynical world. i loved it as much, if not more, than my small children. the world is in need of more iron giants...(it never made it to our town - what a surprise if it had! - had to drive 50 miles one way to see it - and worth every inch!)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Iron Giant soars
Review: Just to add to what everyone else is saying. Buy it and see it. To everyone else who stayed up late in the 1960's watching the AIP flicks on late night TV...this one is for YOU. It takes you places you haven't been for years...and makes you think and feel. One of the BEST films of 1999...not best animated...BEST.... You will never forget Hogarth and his friend the Iron Giant. Cheers to everyone involved and most of all THANKS to Brad Bird, his team, and the voice actors.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply the BEST animated film of the 90's.
Review: THE IRON GIANT (1999) is so wonderful, so full of magic, so heart-warming, the film is one of the BEST movies (not just animated) to come out in years. Academy, please take note when you cast your ballot. Warner Bros. did a terrible job in selling this magnificent film in theatres last summer. Those people who did see THE IRON GIANT were touched by it, thrilled by it, BLOWN AWAY by it. THE IRON GIANT will live on while other films like it (TARZAN who?) disappear from memory. Mark my words. THE IRON GIANT is a MOVIE FOR ALL SEASONS, and ALL PEOPLE. Brad Bird, please take a bow.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Classic and Must Buy
Review: Definately the best movie this year, and one of the best to come out this decade! Not just a great movie for children, but a great movie for all ages. After watching this movie, it will leave you with the best feeling in the world! You will LOVE this movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful, magical, and moving
Review: It's so rare to find a family film with such intelligence, heart, and deep message as are found in The Iron Giant. Truly a great film. It deserved such a wider audience than it found in theaters. Please buy this video and surrender to the spell it weaves.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best animated films ever
Review: I hope this great film finds an audience on video
