Real Steel
Wow, this is probably the best Robot Fighting I’ve
seen…ever. Do you remember Robot
Jox? Well, this one is way better. It
is very corny and silly, but there is something nice about this father and son
movie with robots. It doesn't go too far with the idea.
The basic premise is an updated version of the movie Over
the Top. It is about a man that
hooks up with his estranged son and bonds with him over robot
competitions. So, it is a remake of
sorts of Over the Top. They even
have them traveling via a semi truck!
There is even a lot of Rocky in the movie too.
It is true that this is rock “em sock em robots” the
movie, but that’s okay. I liked the
bonding between father and son. And,
the CGI is pretty good and much better than the robots in the second
Transformers movie. It isn’t a great
movie, but it is a fine movie for what it is.
The fighting scenes are what really make this an
exciting movie. The fighting really
feels real for what giant robots would seem like in this world. It has a bit of a Tekken vibe with fighting
styles and it works here. Plus, they
throw in real boxing elements that make it far more entertaining than I thought
it would be. The last fight is very
much like a boxing videogame.
The movie also hints at the fact the underdog robot may
actually be alive, but only on the surface.
It never fully comes out and states it, but it is certainly
present. I’m glad that didn’t answer
that question either.
The movie is far from a masterpiece and it should be
noted that this unofficial remake of Over the Top. Plus, it feels like there are scenes missing
and certain subplots were dropped.
Despite this, the movie is a fun little movie with some heartwarming
moments and nice fight scenes between CGI robots. Heck, I liked the movie.
Grade: C+
Great. the computer locked up. Damn you Windows 20!

Come on it looks like Rock em Sock em robots. Am I right? The design of the main Robot is clearly the same.
