Due to horrendous advertising that buried most of the movie’s charms, most people deem this movie is a b-grade kiddie flick. But ignore the brainless trailers and the abominable extreme-sport ad campaign that accompanied the video release, and you’ll be rewarded with an fantastic film.
The Iron Giant is complex and sophisticated enough to be a live-action movie, indeed more complex and sophisticated than the movies that trounced it at the box office (I’m talking to you, Inspector Gadget) . It is a powerful achievement of all the elements of a movie working at their very best.
The visuals are amazing. The script is comic without resorting to cheap laughs. The characters are well-rounded. The pronounce talents are ideal, from the Giant’s rumble to Hogarth’s wide-eyed wonder (for a welcome change, a pre-adolescent boy does the deliver instead of someone trying to sound like one) .

Most interestingly, the movie makes such a dynamic, empathic character of the titular hunk of metal that we genuinely care about his fate. At the film’s climactic scene, I was ashamed at the tears running down my face, until I saw that my three friends (all of us twenty-something, manly guys) were misty-eyed as well.
Anyone over the age of 8 will like this film. If you don’t like animation, try this on for size. If you worship all types of animation, inspect it NOW. Even though the film’s marketing department apparently doesn’t want you to glance it, you’ll be satisfied you did.
It is a shame that Warner Brothers chose to give an uninspired prerelease publicity campaign to the gentle, joyous and unusual gripping movie, The Iron Giant. Precious few saw it in theaters.

Like the book, the characterize takes status in 1957, during the height of The Icy War. The Soviet Union’s satellite, Sputnik, flies across American skies. Our country is filled with paranoia. What else may they have launched?
One stormy night off the waft of Maine, a big object falls from the sky. A scared sailor sees it and swears that it is a giant made of metal. The townsfolk chalk the legend off to the sailor’s admire of drink. A giant made of metal, indeed!
A night or so later, young Hogarth Hughes, whose Mom is working overtime at the local diner, gets aroused when his TV starts acting up. He goes to the roof to check the antenna and finds it missing. He then notices tremendous footprints leading away from the house and into the woods. He grabs his deceased Dad’s used army rifle and a flashlight and goes off in pursuit. He soon discovers that there is indeed a metal giant. In fact, he saves it when it bumps into some high voltage utility wires. The adventure has begun.
Rarely has a movie for children - or adults! - addressed the need to search for a mild solution to our problems as gently or as wisely as The Iron Giant. It never preaches and is always accessible. It does not address us from on high. It remains at our level. It also shows how clever we can be at overcoming the most unexpected obstacles. It reminds us that things alien to us are not always hostile to us. In fact, it is we who often open the hostilities. Perhaps best of all, The Iron Giant examines these and other issues in the guise of a fantastic myth that should maintain almost anyone’s attention.
The animation is capable. Most of the voices are trustworthy, especially Harry Connick, Jr.’s as Dean Cooper, a hip young artist. As Hogath’s boom, Eli Marienthal speaks like a proper boy, not a cartoon boy. Speaking for Hogarth’s mother, Annie, Jennifer Anniston gives her a loving quality. Vin Diesel does well with the most difficult scream, that of The Iron Giant.
Rated PG for a couple of spooky scenes and a few unruffled profanities. Recommended without reservation for children seven and up.
