Real Steel Reviews

The truth is that it is a fun film and its few inconsistencies are insignificant compared to the outstanding special effects and the compelling thematic thread. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 27, 2023

A tired old cast re-pressed and coated with a shiny new layer of wax.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 7, 2023

Distill 'Rocky' and 'The Champ,' add a dash of The Rumble in the Jungle, shake well and serve in larger-than-life rock ’em sock ’em robots. That’s basically what you get with 'Real Steel'...

Real Steel may be a science-fiction sports movie but the heart of the story comes through the family drama.

| Oct 7, 2021

It's a surprisingly effective and entertaining techno-sports, father/son, human drama.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 21, 2020

I can see myself stumbling across it while trying to find something to watch on late night 온라인카지노추천. I'd stop to watch a scene or two, and then quickly move on

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 5, 2020

The ending is predictable and played out with all the drama that's typical throughout the film. I'd say director Shawn Levy missed the mark on the target audience for this one.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 22, 2020

Even though the story is paint by numbers and there really isn't anything new being done in this it is still pretty enjoyable.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 11, 2020

Though initially targeted at younger teenaged boys, Real Steel has somehow made more of itself and become a feel-good movie about redemption both families and adult escapists will applaud.

| Jul 26, 2019

Real Steel has box office bomb written all over it and yet, miraculously, it is one of the finest family films I have seen in many a moon.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 1, 2018

It was nice to be totally surprised by a big-budget movie.

| Nov 14, 2018

Real Steel earns every single laugh, every single tear, and every single gasp from its audience.

| Nov 14, 2018

With its tale of redemption, reconnection and triumphant underdogs interwoven with seamless effects boasting a palpable physicality, Real Steel does nothing new but does it well.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 14, 2018

It's more of a throwback to Horatio Alger's Ragged Dick, a rags-to-middle-class-respectability tale about the humble joy of old-fashioned decency.

| Nov 14, 2018

It's a film that captures the ethic of those Amblin movies, adding buckets of imagination, too.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 14, 2018

Real Steel is real fun - get your bot in the ring!

| Nov 14, 2018

It's as corny as Kansas, but the mix of old fashioned heart and new fangled animatronic cyber tech will make this picture a winner for fathers and sons.

| Nov 14, 2018

I don't know where robot boxing falls on your moral spectrum, but I'd take a pre-teen to see Real Steel, as long as we had a long talk afterwards about the evils of product placement.

| Nov 6, 2018

All things considered, it is a well-wrought piece of entertainment, confidently paced, although its necessary subplots are little more than dutiful filler sandwiched between fight sequences.

| Nov 6, 2018

A feelgood film about family, friendship and growing up, Real Steel was always going to attract cynicism but it really does a fine job of delivering for a young audience.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 6, 2018
