The Iron Giant (1999) – ★★★★

I love this film. After having ordered the Signature Edition Blu-ray (not the collector’s box, though; way too expensive), I watched this film for the first time in years, along with the rest of my family. I didn’t put on the Signature Edition, but rather opted for the theatrical version that we know and love; this is because I’ve already looked up what the two new scenes are, and they are as follows:

Spoilers.

The first is just a brief conversation between Dean and Hogarth’s mother in the diner. It really doesn’t have much
purpose.

The second is the Giant’s dream sequence, that occurs during the night while he is sleeping in Dean’s junk yard.
It consists of visions of space, exploding planets, and several Iron Giants walking across lands in full battle
mode destroying things. It’s a massive spoiler, it ruins the pacing, build up, and reveal of the whole film.
It effectively ruins the film (for anyone who hasn’t seen it before, obviously).

So, I really wasn’t interested in putting that on. Anyway, if you’ve never seen it before, I highly recommend checking it out sometime, and don’t watch the “Signature Edition” version.
