Real steel is rocky meets sok'em Bop'em on the lifetime chanel. The movie tells the story of a beat neck dad Charlie Keyton (Hugh Jackman) reconecting with his son Max (Dakota Goyo). In the opening of Real steel Charlie is at a rodeo where he is having his old boxing robot fight a bull. Initally Charlie maxes a bad choice when he bets his robot vs the bull for to much money. After his robot is killed by the bull charlie gets a call saying his former girlfriend has died and he is now responsable for his 11 year old son. Charlie skips out on his debters and goes to sign over the rights of custody to his ex's sister who is Maxs aunt Debera(hope Davis). Charlie seeing that Debra's new boyfriend is very rich he formulates a plan to sell the rights of Max to them. So charlie works out a deal with Debera's Husband Marvin(James Rebhorn) to spend the summer with Max. Then using the money he buys a robot that later is destroyed blowing all of Charlies money. Then Charlie brings max to the robot junkyard looking fior parts max almost dies falling of a cliff but is saved by an old g-2 robot that later max brings back to charlies place. The father son clash find common ground and fight there way to the top of the ranks with there little bot. Well the parts in this movie are filled with good actors and as much C.G.I. Hollywood could through up, Real Steel is very perdictable and even though it has Elements of some origanality the over all theme is a little worn out. This movie is good for those who just want to watch a robot kill another robot or actually want a heart touching emotional movie but to the tone of the same old song dance of every movie.
