Directed By: Shawn Levy
Written By: John Gatins, Shawn Levy, Richard Mathis

A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future where the sport of boxing has gone high-tech, Real Steel stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback. -- (C) Dreamworks

REAL STEEL ORIGIN

Studio Heads: Hugh, wanna do a boxing movie?

Jackman: Fuck no, I'm exhausted from playing wolverine. How about a movie where I play video games while sitting on my ass?

Studio Heads: (a beat) How about we compromise?

I loved this movie. Whattheflick has always been the weakest review sites. Jeremy Jahns is better.

This movie was good. Not amazing or life changing but I am not ashamed to say that i found it enjoyable and at times heartwarming.

Couldn't disagree more with them. I loved this movie. Jackman is great. Love the relationship between Jackman and the kid and Jackman and Evangeline Lily's character. It was actually surprisingly great. And surprisingly moving at times at too. The look on Lily's face as she starts to tear up at the climax, made me tear up. Loved it.
