The older I get, the more I appreciate the warmth, love and care this film emanates.
Thank you, Brad Bird, thank you. -
From a purely directorial standpoint, this has all the hallmarks of Brad Bird's signature genius. It's also pretty solid emotionally with some excellent animation to boot. I really wish I could join the rest of y'all in saying it's a 10/10 masterpiece, but much like HTTYD2, I just have a ton of story and character problems that piled up over time.
The villain is a horrendously embarrassing and annoying dipshit, the mother is sidelined incredibly hard, the beatnik guy is incredibly hard to pin down a motivation for, the fact that Hogarth starts playing with the robot immediately before the army has even left the town just reeks of contrived conflict and idiocy, I could go on.
But it's still a good movie and I still like it for all the same reasons everyone else likes it despite my problems with it k thx bye

85/100
Emotion with a capital E. Brad Bird takes the concept of ET and transforms the consumerist setting of the 80s into a paranoiac painting of the 1950s. Every aspect revolves around the fuzzy, strange, and complex feelings radiating from the heart, and Fall shifts into Winter within 30 seconds because it's a flourishing aspect of the film's operatic humanism. The end feels like a sly way to contradict its inner themes without drawing criticism, and it's a shame because until then, The Iron Giant is extraordinary in its grandiose cold-war analysis and bittersweet connection.
Also, stop doing Superman movies. We have this one and it's all we need.

I have it on good authority that for a few months after this came out Guillermo Del Torro’s answering machine said “I’m sorry I cannot come to the phone right now; I’m watching The Iron Giant. Please leave a message and I’ll get back to you when I’ve finished watching The Iron Giant”
