Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

cinemajesty 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)
josepainumkal I watched this movie alone and I liked it very much. Then after years, I watched it again with my elder sister and her 3 kids. All of them liked it. So this film has something to attract everyone. The VFX were too good that we get a feeling that the robot action sequences were real. Hugh Jackman and Evengeline Lilly were given their top class performance in this flick. The movie is so engaging that for one instance when Lilly's character shout "Come on, ATOM" watching ATOM's fight with the mighty ZEUS, we as spectators could feel the adrenaline rush and gets goosebumps. I recommend this movie to all viewers, as this movie has the elements to satisfy all age-groups.
konradjozefczyk We saw an advanced screening on Sept 22. I thought it was going to be another one of those cheesy, campy, not really believable, warm fuzzy, type of underdog/rags to riches movies. I was actually surprised. It had some great plot twists, it had a real storyline. And while yes, there is some language sprinkled throughout, it did make a good family movie for older kids, 10+ (my opinion). The ending wasn't quite what I was expecting, but looking back I think I liked it better for that. Who wants an ending they can see coming to the entire movie?It had some great comedy moments. The relationships between the actors felt genuine and not overdone or forced. The robot animatronics was good. The robots themselves were fun and imaginative and definitely made me wish we really had this sport. I would so be there!
