    An Uncommon Science Fiction Film

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 6, 2003 | 1 out of 1 found this The Iron Giant (1999) review helpful

    Many of today's science fiction films revisit the motifs of their 1950s counterparts, but this is a rare gem of a film that takes those old motifs and twists them around into something new and original. While paying homage to (or making of) such... things as nuclear anxiety, the Red Scare/communist witch hunts, beatniks, the movie also tackles the 1950s issue of conformity in a very touching and unusual way. As in the second TERMINATOR film, we ponder the question, we are made to wonder, does this potentially deadly machine have a soul? By implication, we may be made to wonder, are we born the way we are, or are we what we choose to be? The film's climax offers a touching answer. Fans of science fiction, especially that of the 1950s, will have a romp. Those expecting a big-budget animated film, replete with songs and wisecracking sidekicks will be disappointed, even if this is one of the most original and endearing animated films that I've seen in a very long time. Kudos! Read more Less

    "The Iron Giant" beats the tar out of anything Disney has put out in the past five years. It has a fantastic story without the cornball music. The voices are perfect and the animation is superb. Very worthy of purchase.
