YESSSSSSSS!!! Now it came to me, a movie I've always wanted to see but never saw. I woke up today thinking about The Iron Giant at random.

Anyone see it? I hope it's bad ass.

I've often said here that it is one of the most underrated movies of all time. It was a victim of poor marketing + getting overshadowed by big releases.

It's fantastic. Humor, great story, great animation, fantastic voice acting, and if you can hold back the tears at the end, there's something wrong with you.

I resisted watching it b/c a friend pushed me to do so way back when. When I finally did catch it, it was enjoyable.

It's hard to get a 97% on the Tomatometer over at Rottentomatoes.com.

"Hey" "Yeah?" "You're in the middle of the ro-" "Yeah!?!" "..OK" *drives off*

Haha, yes a surprisingly funny and great cartoon movie. Treasure Planet is another good one that goes overlooked because of how bad it did in the theaters.

Iron Giant really is an outstanding movie. Its directed by Brad Bird, who went on to Pixar after Fox screwed this release all up, and made The Incredibles and Ratatouille.

I just watched it. Great movie as I expected. It was funny and I had some laughs, and I never expected the robot to be so bad ass :)
