The Transformers 3 It was very good I really enjoyed it
Captain America, is a good movie .)
Real Steel- Hugh Jackman, an adorable little boy, some robots and Kim Kardashian (I think).
So, how do you screw up a movie about fighting robots?
Well, you could ask Michael Bay but that would be taking the easy way out. Real Steels producers decided to go another route and simply graft robot boxing onto a generic Lifetime network plot.
Substitute a cheerleading competition or a 4H Club hog fair and you'd have the identical movie...that's how peripheral to the story the robots are.
There is not a single scene- for that matter, very few lines- that you haven't heard/seen before and the emotional tides of the movie are as predictable as they are trite.
The robot fights, which should be highlights, are brief and maddenly stupid.
The bad guys have Mohawks...really?
I like splashy setpieces, I can abide sentimentality, I'm all for simple entertainment...but Real Steel is just lazy and pointless.
It was good to see the Iron Giant again though, he's been quiet since his breakout starring role.

How Do You Know. It was just for fun with my girlfriend

Real Steel. Nice movie and entertaining...
