The other day a couple of friends and I went to go see a movie
called Real Steel. The movie is about an "old school" boxer named
Charlie Kenton (played by Hugh Jackman) that lives in the year 2020
and becomes a robot boxing operator. During his quest to become the
greatest Robo boxing operator, he finds out that his ex-wife has
recently died, and Charlie is left with the decision to either take
custody of his 11 year old son Max, or let him stay with his aunt
Debra. So Charlie makes the decision of asking aunt Debras rich
husband for money, in exchange for the whole summer with Max. During
the summer Max stumbles upon a robot fighter, that he later names
"atom", and trains him to become the best robo boxer in the world,
with the help of his dad. Over the summer Max and Charlie bond as
father and son, and Charlie also falls in love with an old friend.
I thought this movie was really good. The action sequences were
not to short, but didn't drag on, and the bonding moments were really
heart warming. And the moments where they reminisce about the days of
Charlie Kentons boxing days was just amazing. I could have gone
without the romantic parts, but that's just me. I can't really think
of reasons why this movie would need improvements, so overall great
movie, and I hope to maybe see a prequel that explains when Charlie
was a boxer, or a sequel that continues the main story. I give this
movie a 5 out 5 and I recommend this movie to all sci fi and robot
fighting fans because the robots are deadly and it maybe an upgrade to
their league.
