Real Steel

"We fight smart, be patient and pray. Seriously, pray!"

This film is an Adrenaline Rush of Action & Entertainment. I found no faults while watching & didn't complain about anything. 

Robot Fighting has always been something that interests people from the Robot Wars film from th 80's to the popular television show Robot Wars and even to Transformers. 

Real Steel is the story of Robot Boxing, nowe that Humans aren't taking part due to the unlikely No Holds Barred style of fighting people want to see that people can't do. Retired boxer (Hugh Jackman) is finding difficu,lty to become a huge hit in this world and spends the summer with his estranged son who will be in the custody of his aunt & uncle since Jackman's ex-wife passed away. After some grumblings, father & son become close when they find an old robot Atom & train him up to take on the Robot Champion of the World, Zeus. 

As I described, this is an Adrenaline Rush of Action and Excitement as there was never a dull moment on screen. All the fight scenes were head-on and you could feel every hit thrown from the Robots. All the robots looked original and impressive. A case of CGI used well. I think it was more Motion Capture as the Robots moved freely & copied all the movements the characters did. Very impressive effects. The presentation made feel epic, almost like a real life phenomenan. The locations were great & the music used fitted perfectly with every scene. Good job Danny Elfman. The film sounds awesome with cinema sound too. Also Steven Spielberg was Executive Producer so this was obviousd going to be a fun film. 

Hugh Jackman's character, Charlie Keaton, comes of as a jerk & a cool guy and Jackman does his part really well. All the other actors were good too, especially Anthony Mackie. It's a film for families, with a father, female supporter & a kid having fun. There involvment with the robots make you feel sympathetic, annoyed & have a laugh at the human characters & by the end of the film, you want Jackman's robot Atom to win the final fight just like in a real boxing match. People call it a cross between Rocky & Transformers & I cansee the relation. Robots involved & interactign with humans & a story about an Underdog fighting the best in the world. 

In conclusion, although it wouldn't be for everyone's liking, Real Steel features bags of entertainment, a good story, good performances, good camera work, good music & all that makes a Fantastic Blockbuster that's worth a watch. If you want Robot Vs Robot fighting more serious & emotional than Transformers, then this is the film for you.

Real Steel features very satisfying robot on robot action on par with those from the Tranformers films. Great operformances help add an emotional story to produce a great film to watch.
