Finally saw The Iron Giant yesterday. The main character kid rides a bicycle – and the main character giant eats cars!
Great movie!

But there's actually some bicycles quite prominently in the background of a scene in the movie, and, incredibly enough, a guy on a bike is getting focus when he says hi to the characters we're following in that scene. I did not see that coming!
That definitely helped it a little bit, and this movie needed all the help it could get! It didn't even end with that inspirational speech thingie, which was really disappointing!
