Review

'REAL STEEL' is a robotic-boxing action movie that is the best thing of entertainment since Michael Bay's 'Transformers'. It has a terrific and emotional father and son story-line mended together with a plot made familiar to the people who have and have not seen the first of the 'Rocky' movies. It contains the compelling acting of Hugh Jackman and young Dakota Gayo, fantastic direction by Shawn Levy and the way the robots are made by using animatronics that is blended with motion-capture technology.

'REAL STEEL' is the kind of film that I would love and is an amazing experience for everyone who wanted to see the robots bashing each other on a fighting match for free.

Star rating: (5/5) Best Movie Ever
