7. Real steel- 2 1/2 out of 5 stars

The best way to put it, I wasn't the target audience. The movie was obviously designed for dads and their 5-11 year old sons.The Story is about a man named Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) who is a professional robot boxer. After losing multiple matches and a ton of money, he gets help from his step son Max Kenton (Dakota Goyo) who finds a robot called Atom. Acting really wasn't that good. Hugh Jackman could have done better, and Dakota Goyo was one of the most annoying people I've seen in a movie. The script was really bad, it was very predictable and had me face palming multiple times during the movie. Music was good, until Max started dancing with his robot and then continued to before every fight, It was one of the stupidest things I've seen and they were obviously trying to make Dakota into a mini-bieber. After that part it was all down hill. The CGI, probably the best I've seen, Some parts of the movie they used actually robots as props instead of CGI and I honestly couldn't tell the difference between them. Action really was pretty disappointing, the first few scenes were pretty good, but then after that each fight seemed exactly the same. In the movie they say Atom was a sparring robot, that he was built to take hits but not deal damage, but in his first fight he takes what seemed like a hundred hits and then punched the bad guy once and killed him. It just kinda bothered me they did that. All that aside it's entertaining and it at least won't put you to sleep.

Favorite Quote:
Charlie: Times have changed. Fighting has changed. But the crowd? They never change. They just get bigger. The human body can only take so much. But the steel never stops.
