4 stars (Very Good) The Iron Giant follows the incredible adventures of young Hogarth who late one night discovers and befriends an enormous robot that fell from the stars. Magical and moving tale of friendship that'll tug at your heart-strings. ~GenXGirl

5 stars (Exceptional) A bit slow-paced and you have to swoon for 1950s America setting to really hit you, but it's a guileless story with impossibly charming characters. I love the design during the robot rampage. ~Pop&Coffee
