Review of Real Steel

Real Steel (2011)
8/10
The best robot boxing movie of the year
17 November 2011
Real Steel provides what is expected - robot boxing - and more.

Hugh Jackman is good in the lead role, as a man running away from his past and responsibilities. He is sucked into the robot boxing world but can't catch a break. With Hugh Jackman, I keep expecting him to turn into Wolverine and take out the bad guys.

Dakota Goyo steals the movie as his son, who is stuck for a summer with his dad he has never met before. Together, they have some touching, emotional, and funny scenes together.

Their characters are brought together by a robot boxer named Atom, who draws out a lot of emotion for a machine who doesn't speak.

The movie follows a Rocky-like script, as they battle Atom in robot fights that are very much like Transformer battles. Overall, the movie is very entertaining with great characters and a satisfying story and a cool underdog robot Atom that you'll find yourself cheering on.
