Real Steel.. Thoughts?

Just watched this movie. I liked it until the G-damn plot holes I'm dying to see filled.

A) Why did they want "Atom"? Was he a prototype,etc.

B)Ok "Peoples chap." makes some money?! and gets to keep his kid? WTF?

C)Don't Imply that you kick the Rednecks ass.. SHOW ME!!

Think it should have been called Rock 'em sock 'em robots.

when i first saw the trailer for it, THIS was on my mind

Haven't seen it yet but I have heard it's pretty good.

One word review: Abysmal. If anyone could botch the most formulaic screenplay of all time, it's Shawn Levy. I'm glad that pretentious tool turned down directing The Flash.

I'm not going to front..I almost cried when I saw this.

This is the Hugh Jackman one?

Yes.. It was a decent movie just had some holes I wanted wrapped up.

It was better than I expected.

I liked it, sure it had pretty much the exact same plot as over the top, just with fighting robots instead of arm wrestling, but still an ok movie

This, definitely. They're coming out with Battleship, so it wouldn't seem any more out of place....

Real Steel was actually pretty fun... and I think anybody who cast a second glance at the trailer realized it was Rock em Sock em robots the movie. It doesn't exactly take ingenuity or shrewd detective work to figure that one out. So I think calling it Real Steel was totally fine.

It was alright.

At least you're honest. There were some parts where I almost got teary-eyed as well. Overall, it was one of my favourite movies of the year.

This

But if you look in the backround you can see add for X-box 360, isn't it like 2025 or something lol

I read the short story this movie is based off, and judging from the movie commercials i saw, i don't think the writers read the story...

Very true. But this time they went way off base.
