TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

"Its robot rocky. That sums it up pretty well." Say most reviewers. Don't get me wrong, it is way too similar to rocky to be called an original story. But, the effects are nice, and the robots look great stylistically. What it suffers for in cheesy dialogue and copied story, it makes up for with thrilling robot fights, interesting settings, and well rounded acting. Dakoto Goyo Doesn't speak like an 11 year old would- at all- but he still passes as an relate-able and likable character. But he seems to be more relate-able to a 15 year old than an 11 year old. As I mentioned earlier, the settings are really interesting. I would love to see more fights at the crash palace! The WRB arena looks great, even as it is plagued by some slight product placement. Speaking of product placement, I don't understand why everyone says that the movie is coated in it. Honestly, there's only some logos here and there and the kid drinks a bunch of doctor pepper. If anything, it makes the movie seem more real, like this could be an actual possible future. In the real world, sports arenas are filled with Xbox signs, Coca cola graphics, etc. The only factors that make this reality seem unreal to me now is that A) There was no WRB championship in 2016, so noisy boy didn't win that, (Ha ha) and B) Technology is no where close to having robots that can move this smoothly and human like.So all in all, I love this movie. It may be cheesy, and cliché, but it will always have a special place in my mind.

In the near future, robot boxing is a top sport. A struggling promoter feels he's found a champion in a discarded robot. Real Steel is one of my favorite movies that Hugh Jackman has starred in besides the X-Men Franchise, Prisoners, Les Miserables and a bunch of others movies it's basically Rocky meets Terminator and honestly who the hell doesn't love Robots? This film brought some life in all those boxing movies sure it repeats some stuff from Rocky like the ending for example but still one hell of an awesome movie and i would love to see a sequel after Hugh is done with Wolverine and i think it might happen cause the movie was directed by Shawn Levy the director of the Night at the Museum Trilogy. They also did one hell of job with the robots you feel like they are real and not just some cgi or puppet in a science fiction movie the animatronics in these film are outstanding and so are the robots and the human characters. It really deserves a much high score on Rotten Tomatoes than just a drop dead 59% Atom for the win!!!

Came across this film a few months ago and was blown away. Simple premise of lonely boy desperate for a father figure finds solace and friendship in a fighting robot. Yes it's cheesy and some what predictable but the whole film made me smile throughout. Hugh Jackman plays the wayward father looking for direction while his son is looking for the father he never had.The robot is the pragmatist that brings them together. Fight scenes are good and the interaction between the characters is charming. Many films of father and son coming together rely on a love interest this thankfully doesn't . So sit down and enjoy and film that will leave you feeling warm inside.
