    Real Steel

    by BrioGirl

    This movie rocked. It was a good balance of heart and action, largely because the two male leads were excellent and had fantastic chemistry together. I would recommend this to anyone who likes action, drama, staged combat, or Hugh Jackman.

    Great movie!

    by Guttie

    A very good heartwarming, action movie. The kid and robot, Atom, steal the show. Hugh Jackman is good, no question, but the son, Max, is the star of the movie.

    Real Steel

    by gbermudez333

    I have to be honest I would not have gone to see this movie if it wasn't for my kids, but after seeing it I recommend it, the characters in the story pull you in into the story and is a heartfelt movie, with adventure, recommend to see it!!!

    Real Steel

    by pbanuelos2

    This movie was totally worth seeing. I did not get bored once, and it's great for kids too. It didn't have any awkward-what's-the-point sex scenes and the kid Dakota Goyo was a really good actor. The end was fair but totally worth seeing!

    Better than people...........

    by Brid

    The people characters did a nice job, although the chief villain was a tad over the top and actually corny. The three main characters behaved pretty realistically, with the necessary glossing-over of storyline -- but the lack of detail on background didn't hurt the flow of the movie. Even better than the people, however, were the "real steel" stars, which performed their roles with unfettered enthusiasm yet saved us the discomfort of seeing people parts and fluids oozing across the screen. Overall -- a nice job, with good emotional highs without being smarmy.

    Real Steel

    by

    Good Entertainment with a heartwarming story line believe it or not. We thought it was going to be a total special effects action movie and it did have plenty of that. But the human story line is what made it worth writing a review. We can recommend it to those who are discussed by unnecessary bad language that is thrown into even the best of movies these days.

    Fantastic!

    by jayflea

    Maybe it was because of the father/son relationship, but I really bought the story in this film. Had a good balance between robot action and character development that kept it from getting cheesy. Definitely check it out in the movies if you can!

    real steel

    by

    ok,so one knew going in to it,it was bound to be a little corny at times. the kid 'dancing' with the bot=corny! However,for anyone who loves Hugh Jackman,it cant be all that bad.The story line was actually pretty good.there were young men walking out with their girls when the movie was over saying,"hey that was a great movie!" ,well my husband & I enjoyed it & will probably own it when it comes out.who doesnt love a feel good movie? The selection of other actors was spot on,cinematography was good,love the robotics. dont wait for it to come out,get the full experience on the big screen and audiences reaction really adds to the experience. good movie!

    Loved it!

    by netzi85

    Great fun film, definitely a family film - the only unsavory part in the film was when one guy came to collect on a bet with the lead character (hugh) so that may be a difficult scene for young viewers, but it was really a great, fun film!

    by RonAlexander

    In a world of remakes, and sequels its rare to find a fun filled feel good movie that actually works. Fir the SCI FI Fan or the family, this one hits on all cylinders. I see a lot of movies every year and this one was every dollar. And YES, I'm in for REAL STEEL II . Hope they make a sequel.

    Unbelievably good!

    by

    I took my 7 year old son who always falls asleep in the movies and he was glued to the screen. Very well done. It has all the elements of a great movie. Lots of action, drama, great cast, moment of truth... easily the best movie this year and one of the best I have seen lately.

    Real Steel is the real deal =)

    by colibra

    "Real Steel" was a great movie. It started out a little slow, but did get going relatively early and built up from there. I admit to having a little predisposed idea of what it was about but was pleasantly surprised by the plot. If you go you will find yourself laughing, and the occasional tear but in the end you'll have a good time. I give it a B+

    Great! sports and action flick with heart

    by

    LOVED THIS MOVIE! It looks like part of a new genre -- sports and action flick with more heart. Like The Blind Side it clearly has a lot to appeal to both men and women. Though not as great as that flick, it was really, really solid and good.

    The father-son angle was great; the kid inthe movie was super, as good as The Karate Kid. Hugh Jackman has great presence. Even the robot was well cast!!!

    I enjoy sports movies and boxing flicks for their drama -- for me as a sensitive woman, though, it was easier to watch robots box violently with each other than to watch people slug it out!

    And it was cool that they had Sugar Ray Leonard as a boxing consultant, you could really see that in the boxing parts, and it fit so great with the story line of bringing the human way of boxing back into the robotic sport.
