a good movie for the kids, 1 July 2005
Author: planktonrules from Bradenton, Florida

This is no great movie and many adults will find themselves quickly bored. However, considering this was aimed at kids, it's a pretty good flick--especially since it breathes some life into the moribund Japanese mega-monster genre.

Johnny is a cute kid who discovers a giant flying robot who he is able to control. The kid uses the robot for good and they become friends (or at least as close to friendship as you can get with a giant flying robot). Does this sound familiar? To those out there who have kids, it should as this idea was completely ripped off in the movie The Iron Giant. It does for Johnny Sokko what The Lion King did to Kimba the White Lion (i.e., American studio steals the idea blatantly and the original writers and actors are screwed).

FYI--this was a movie AND a television series. I think the movie was actually just pieced together from the TV show. I saw the movie and never really had a desire to watch the TV show, as it came out in the US when I was about 15--and I thought I was way too old and too cool to watch a kids show (or so I hoped)!

Hmmmm. I've done a lot of reviews, but I notice there is no rating button for the film. In that case, I give it a 6.
