Superman | The Iron Giant (1999) First Time Watching Movie Reactions 

Me too

Fr, few are the movie that can make me cry, it's this one and bicenntenial man

Yep. On the other hand. "Where's the Giant, Manley!!??" will never not make me crack up.

It’s not wrong to cry to this film… even Legends cry to this film…

Woaw ! I didn't know this fact.. thanks for this, this is really interesting and i love this masterpiece even more now !

So he did it for family

The director of this film went on to create and direct both Incredibles movies. They really like that 1950’s-1960’s Sci-fi aesthetic

How about being mad at the monster husband that killed her and himself instead of the gun? He would have done it with a hammer, a knife or anything else if he didn’t have a gun.

@@KramericaIndustries-jd9cyI think the creator may have felt sympathy based on how the Iron Giant is portrayed. A weapon doesn't have a choice. It can be used to harm or protect. In this What If scenario a weapon made to hurt humans sacrifices itself to save them.

I still sob

10:43 yep

That's one of the things about this movie I appreciate - the military are NOT idiots! The General is not some arrogant ass! He's a reasonable guy. The soldiers, the General, even the fighter pilots who knock the Giant out of the sky and the guys on the battleships and the submarine that launched the missile - they're all working from training and doctrine - and are just mis-informed by the REAL villain - the ONLY one actually holding the IDIOT BALL in this film - Mansley. Once the General gets the real picture, he's on Hogarth, Dean's and even the Giant's side! You can see that in the salute he gives the Giant as he lifts off to go intercept the missile, his sad resignation and doffing his helmet in respect of the giant's sacrifice and the fact he sent that jaw hinge screw to Hogarth.

@@logandarklighter The General is a true patriot. He strives to do what's best for his country.

Holy crap! I just realized that's Marty Crane!

That's because he's a real soldier who has probably seen enough death himself to last a lifetime. While Mansley is basically a self important bureaucrat who dreams of pew pew bang bang glory, but lacks the actual courage to go through with it personally.

“I want to be…Superman.”

To bad it was canceled it would have had a great second film.

Yeah. I saw that little easter egg on twitter.

Not sure he's actually saluting so much as taking his hat off, but ye the sentiment is much the same.

@@mnomadvfxdoes salute, in the big crowd scene of people. He is in the bottom left corner and is the only one doing the salute. He does also take off his helmet like you said shortly afterwards

That's a good saying

Born a gun, chose to be a shield.

*Hogarth:* i love you 😢

To soon

"Suuupermaan"

Emphasis on "almost" indestructible. I think part of his systems include both a "conscious" and "unconscious" ability to either anticipate impact forces or react to them instantly. If the system determines that survival overall would be best served by taking the hit and remaining intact it'll do that. But beyond a certain threshold it will decide to allow the linking force and the physical connecting linkages to "relax" and allow parts to be dispersed to lesson the kinetic, heat and other forces so that each individual piece has a higher chance of surviving as their own units instead.

27 years old here. Same story. Came back to watch this and cried

I still have the original vhs, too bad vhs players are hard to find in my area lol

this isn´t an action movie though

@@r.a.fgattaiguy845 - don't be pedantic.

@@TheDissident77 tags are important

I dunno about that. It's more like a coming of age adventure film with action scenes at the end.

@@mnomadvfx That's a good description

"suuupeermaan" 😢

I do not remember this part

@@timeforgottenprince8271he’s lying.

I looked...don't see it.

​@@ASKMEABOUTMYGARDENReduce the playback speed so you can see it

@TheLordofthewolf I did..but I'm old.
