Just perfect...
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
My favorite movie ever.. Everytime I see this movie I just love it.
I'll start with the good things. You know what kind of things to expect from a movie like this, an easy-to-watch, entertaining movie with a couple of moving plot points and a happy ending. That was what I expected, and I think most of us also, and that's what we received. Up there, positive points for this movie. The bad thing is that the performances leave much to be desired. The one of Jackman does not arrive to him nor to the ankles to the simple Rocky de Stallone and the one of the boy is, then, a boredom by where it is watched. Finally, I feel that the child / Atom relationship could be much more powerful. Anyway, for these reasons, I do not think this movie deserves more than a five.
Movie Review: "Real Steel" (2011)Executive Producer Steven Spielberg in early endeavors of at that times freshly-inked 30-picture-deal with Indian-based Hollywood-movie-investing Reliance Entertainment, part of Reliance Industries Limited, comes an original, short-story based screenplay by John Gatins, which in its conception fulfills the requirements of an young-teenager movie-ride elevated by starring working Hugh Jackman directed by Shawn Levy, who has been closing in as-rumor-has-it with leading cast members Bryan Cranston as Victor Sullivan and Tom Holland as Nathan Drake on another major video-game adaptation concerning a huge "Exclusive-Playstation" hit "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" (2007).Even though "Real Steel" receives an unnecessary PG-13 rating ny the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), the near-future down-to-earth science-fiction movie keeps its editorial pace with two hours of metal-splintering action scenes of further advanced visual effects work by supervisors Erik Nash, John Rosengrant, Danny G. Taylor, Swen Gillberg and associates, enriching a substituting, "Over The Top" (1987) reminiscence, father-son-relationship, who build robots for scenarios of "Bot Fights" as an mutual international business endeavor, with charming down-on-his-luck main character Charlie Kenton, here performed with conviction as picture-carrying Hugh Jackman, when supporting cast member tend to deny suspense-striking conflict material despite the usual born-to-be an underdog confronting the "Goliath" storyline of a short-lived but entertaining Hollywood motion picture entertainment featuring some emotional charged dialogue scene between Hugh Jackman and actress Evangeline Lilly as caring-as-supportive young-adult-girlfriend character Bailly Tallet, heating up human-condition-identification-beats by targeting mass-teenage-audiences."Real Steel", released in Fall 2011, alongside a heavy-daring year on original story material with an ultra-expensive "Cowboys & Aliens" (2011) starring Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford on top of an already-struggling DreamWorks Pictures LLC; nevertheless backed-up by Buena Vista affiliated as Disney Enterprises-owned Touchstone Pictures, when cinematography by Academy-Award-winning Mauro Fiore ("Avatar" 2009) who keeps shots, even with extensive artificial-as-bloodless digitally-rendered images, a lot of fun to watch for the moments worthwhile with cautionlessly and recklessly overpoluted product placement necessities of all-to-familiar nowadays merchandise articles, which has become that obvious that this unless professionally-executed minority-reporting event-movie loses half of its audience on the U.S. domestic market.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
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!!!
