New movie list Real Steel A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future where the sport of boxing has gone high-tech, Real Steel stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback. -- (C) Dreamworks Release Date Real Steel Oct 7, 2011 Wide | |

Review For Real Steel |
Good thing we all love Hugh Jackman so much Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Its remote-controlled emotional responses leave little room for genuine uplift. Bruce Diones-New Yorker
Thanks to an admittedly corny script, some amazing fight scenes, and a terrific cast, "Real Steel's" actually a winner by split decision. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com
Surely a story as elementary and essentially derivative as this one could be told in less than 127 minutes. Eric D. Snider-Film.com
They should call this overloud, underwhelming movie Real Steal. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
Aas the plot proceeds from boy-meets-dad verbal sparring to an uneasy peace to the underdog-vs.- champion title bout, it becomes increasingly easy to forgive its many nicks. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post
Real Steel offers plenty of fun and engaging moments -- of both the human character drama and giant CGI robot battle variety. Ben Kendrick-ScreenRant
"Real Steel" just never gives us a reason to care, and for two hours that can be quite detrimental. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com
...the film benefits substantially from the inclusion of several unexpectedly engrossing robot-on-robot fight sequences... David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews
Love this movie and the Blu-ray contains a flawless transfer. I wish they did a bit more with the features, but what's here is decent. This isn't "reference" quality work, but the movie is one everyone should see. Michelle Alexandria-Eclipse Magazine
Wow, they actually made Rock Em Sock Em Robots - The Movie! Even more surprising is how amazing this movie is. Filled to the brim with heart, soul, grit, and fun. One of the best movies of 2011. Michelle Alexandria-Eclipse Magazine
Real Steel is constructed from two incompatible movies that should never have co-existed: serious science fiction set in a plausible near-future and a gooey, sentimental family drama. Richard Edwards-SFX Magazine
When you have fighting robots, does it really matter if the story gets sappy? Dan Lybarger-KC Active
The visual effects are a slick combination of real robots and CGI, and -- especially on the new Blu-Ray release -- the result is gloriously seamless. Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid
By no means is Real Steel an original film, at least in terms of its base story, but that doesn't mean it's not an effective, tear-jerking kids movie. R. L. Shaffer-IGN DVD
An affectionate and comprehensively detailed presentation of a surprisingly decent tent-pole movie. Chuck Bowen-Slant Magazine
Clash time between the machines is nigh overwhelming in this never-before-seen context, and that's the payoff here. Jules Brenner-Cinema Signals
"Real Steel" has all the brainless fun of Rock'em Sock'em Robots and the heart and rousing fight sequences of "Rocky." James Plath-Movie Metropolis
Never in a million years did I think that I would enjoy a boxing robot movie from the director of Night at the Museum. Ignatiy Vishnevetsky-Ebert Presents At The Movies
apolyta tairiasth retrofoytoyristikh proseggish, poy pantreyei thn fantasiwsh twn binteogkeimadwn me tis klasikoteres twn istoriwn patrikhs eksilewshs kai anatrophs twn pithanothtwn Joseph Proimakis-Movies for the Masses
'Real Steel' about an estranged son and his father, a man who's been beaten down by repeated failures, a needy boy who finds something he can believe in, and, of course, it's a sports movie, too, because it's sort of a metallic 'Rocky.' Linda Cook-KWQC-TV (Iowa)
This much is clear as soon as they meet: father and son have matching attitudes, both resentful of their sudden connection and very tough on the outside even as they're really vulnerable. Cynthia Fuchs-Time to Play Magazine
