Real Steel: Movie review


Rated: PG-13
Release Date: October 7th
Well, basically, this is kind of a mash up between Transformers 3 and Rocky, not a great one, but a mash up nontheless. The movie takes place in the near future, where robots are fighting each other instead of humans, it does give it a realistic vibe, it's futuristic, but not exceeding any realistic limits.
The movie has some of the better fighting scenes I've seen in a movie, the sheer excitement of a boxing match and the adrenaline rush you get when watching one, they mimic that well. But besides the fight scenes, I wouldn't watch it again.
You see, "Real Steel" has a plot, which is nice, in some movies, but the plot here is this, sappy, father and son, kind of plot, this includes slow, boring scenes with tears and romance. This does not belong in a movie about giant "Rock 'em, Sock 'em" robots... 
I'd say, this is a nice film to watch for free, but I wouldn't pay for it if I were you, wait for the TV version. Although, if you can handle the slow scenes, go for it, the fighting scenes are EPIC on the big theatre screen, you might get your money's worth just for that.
For conclusion, the movie's decent, you can't say it was bad, but I'm just saying, you're better off watching .
Transformers 3, it has giant robots fighting, but does not include boring "father-son-crying" scenes.
 "Real Steel" gets my 3.5/5, it's a nice film, but there are better choices :)
