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!

Great movie review! I have this one on my list of movies to see and I’m glad to know that more of the focus of the movie is on the “family” aspect than on the boxing.
