EARLY ACCESS: Real Steel FULL REACTION (Patreon)
Content
This movie was an absolute blast and a delightful surprise! In our view, it's underrated and deserves more recognition. Set in a near-future world where human boxing is replaced by colossal fighting robots. Enter Charlie Kenton, a down-on-his-luck former boxer turned robot fight promoter, brilliantly portrayed by Hugh Jackman. With his cocky swagger and never-give-up attitude, Charlie is the ultimate underdog you can't help but root for. When he stumbles upon a discarded sparring robot and discovers its hidden potential, he sees a shot at redemption and the chance to reconnect with the son (Dakota Goyo) he barely knows. Together, they train their robot, Atom, an outdated yet fiercely determined machine with an endearing "never say die" spirit.
The robot fights were fun, showcasing pretty good CGI. The excitement is infectious as Atom faces off against towering opponents, proving that size doesn't always matter when you have the heart of a champion. But Real Steel is not just about metal-on-metal action. It has a beating heart at its core. The relationship between Charlie and Max evolves from distant and strained to a bond forged in the heat of the robot arena. The film explores themes of family, second chances, and the power of determination, leaving a lasting impression that transcends the spectacle of the robot battles.
The supporting cast is equally impressive, with standout performances from Dakota Goyo as Max, Evangeline Lilly as Bailey, Charlie's tough yet caring friend, and Anthony Mackie as Finn, a rival promoter who adds extra spice to the mix. Cast and crew did great. We might have to check the behind the scenes/making of this one! Highly recommend this film to all. Thanks to all that recommended this one.
