- Real Steel stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.
- Let me just say for the record that if you are looking for a movie of quality - this is a big giant turd. Anyone who didn't think that already is an idiot. That being said - I still was able to enjoy it for what it was. It was a heartstring pulling, action, popcorn movie. I turned off my brain for two hours and laughed at the jokes, cared about the characters (even the robots) and was rooting for them all along.
- Would I recommend it? Depends on what you are looking for. You want to see a quality movie. Then no. You want to see a souped up, badass action movie. Still no then. You want to see a fun, family film that is entertaining to the kids and the adults that take them - then yes.
