Amazon.com: Quite possibly the nadir of Steven Spielberg's career as a producer, this piece of sentimental junk from 1987 concerns five little spacecraft which arrive on Earth just in time to help out some New Yorkers getting kicked out of a tenement. The script's goo just sticks to the viewer, and the cast looks silly by trying not to be silly. You get the feeling that Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment was pretty much throwing stuff at the wall to see what would hang there, and they came up with this ridiculous thing. --Tom Keogh
Perfect Item! Perfect Response! Perfect Delivery! It is always a gamble to use Amazon or any other internet site. But I love the reassurance that this vendor gave me by having the product to my home in less than 3-4 days. Makes it nice and takes the uneasy feeling out of purchasing gifts online. Thank you!
2 words: Brad Bird If you click on his name you will see how his career has progressed. No one should miss buying "The Iron Giant"......... a well crafted and overlooked Sci-Fi masterpiece. You might have heard of the man who wrote the soundtrack for 'Batteries not Included' [I bought a copy right away]: James Horner. This movie had some top notch people early on in their careers. Cute plot and good effects for the 80's.
hopeful and amusing A funny, sci-fi story about creatures from out of space helping out a few down-and-out tenants of a building scheduled for demolition. This uplifting movie is all about hope and second chances.
Family Appropriate This film is just plain good clean fun. It's Spielberg, so you can't expect anything less.
Absolutely Thrilles I was thrilled to find this movie. I had been looking for it for a long time (so I could show my grandkids) and when it found it on Amazon.com for less than $10, it was like a dream come true. I was leary of it's condition even though it said it was new, but it was factory sealed and played like a charm, no skips or hiccups at all! thank you!
