ABOUT:
“Real Steel” is directed by Shawn Levy (“Night at the Museum” franchise and “Date Night”).
“Real Steel” is about a former boxer (Hugh Jackman) who, against all odds, gets one last shot at a comeback when he teams up with his estranged son (Dakota Goyo) to build and train the perfect contender for the new high-tech sport of robot boxing.
I am a big fan of Hugh Jackman and he definitely doesn’t disappoint in this movie. However I think that Dakota Goyo steals the scenes in this movie! Dakota is a great actor and I expect to see him a lot in the future! Before seeing the film I thought that it would be more about the boxing but it is really more about family (not going to give anything else away!!). I thought this was a heartwarming movie with real “flare”, I even teared up at one point. Real Steel kept my attention throughout the whole movie. My hubby thought is was good but a little “cheesy”(a few days later stated “I really liked that movie”). We both agree that we would recommend this movie to others! We give it two thumbs up!
