Editorial reviews

"[A] jaunty, well-built hybrid action/family pic....[The movie] demonstrates the way CGI-driven bot cinema can fruitfully coexist with father-and-son bonding cinema to create charming entertainment -- part warm hugs and part cold clang." -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (10/14/2011)

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Underneath the busy, noisy action beats a human heart pumping with the red-blooded emotions that have worked for boxing films since the original CHAMP first grabbed moviegoers in the '30s."
Box Office - Pete Hammond (10/03/2011)

"Jackman is predictably raffish and swaggering..."
Movieline - Stephanie Zacharek (10/06/2011)

"Levy, with Sugar Ray Leonard adding some punch to the boxing sequences, makes you actually care about the robots..."
Los Angeles Times - Betsy Sharkey (10/07/2011)

3 stars out of 4 -- "[T]he movements of the robots are superbly choreographed....It has characters, it matters who they are, it makes sense of its action, it has a compelling plot."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (10/05/2011)

3 stars out of 5 -- "Jackman's solid, the kid's likeable and the climactic fight is a prizewinner. Only those with a heart of tin could resist."
Total Film - Jamie Graham (11/01/2011)

"The film is punctuated by mechanical fights which are well directed by director Shawn Levy and certainly amp up the excitement, and Hugh Jackman and Dakota Goyo hit all the right notes..."
Sight and Sound - Kim Newman (12/01/2011)

I don't know which I like better. The fact that they've made the game "Blockheads" in to a movie or the charm of the a boy relating to his father.

I liked this movie. Sure it's an old plot, but this new spin is very pleasing entertainment wise.

I loved the machines. I loved that this was a down to earth, not other worldly, story about modern robots. Well done! The special effects seemed real and not digitized. Which really helps the story.

This is the sort of film you can share with kids and get something from it yourself.

Brilliant, edgy with a family undertone. Watch it.

Here's to a robot's long life!

Blessings, Max Rainet.

If you liked Rocky you'll love this high impact, high tech futuristic, high octane action ride a modern updated version of Rocky~



This takes Rocky to the next level, while tugging your heart strings, With the bonding of father(Hugh Jackman)& son(Dakota Goyo),set in the near-future where boxing has gone high-tech~



Real Steel is without a doubt a crowd pleaser from start to finish, that will have you on the edge of your seat, shouting, jumping up & cheering complete with tears in your eyes~


From the heart warming & tear jerking relationship of father & son with the underdog hit rock bottom boxer storyline where video games & computers come to life with a twist of transformers, rock-m-sock-m robots & the ultimate cage fighter, The special effects are realistic & down to earth & make you believe the 7 & 8 feet tall, 2000 pound robots are real~

Without a doubt we all (kids & adults) had a blast watching this film~

From Steven Spielberg's suggestions incorporated in this film, to the superb acting of the whole cast & stunt doubles, the awesome special effects & the top notch directing, Director Shawn Levy hit it out of the park with Real Steel~

The DVD was brand new, arrived quickly, and in great condition! I would buy from them again. I saw this movie during the summer and loved it, the funny parts, the sad parts, the little taste of romance and greed, and of course the fights between the robots and their "owners". My son also liked it, so we figured ifr we bought it, my husband could see it. Being a sports fan, he loved it! He was into every fight,and of course we had to root for the good guy! Best part is, the ending was perfect because they left room for part 2. Hugh Jackman was hilarious, as well as believable. His son added some spice and is quite a great new actor. Please see this movie-perfect for families!
