Real Steel (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo) Reviews

The makers of Real Steel had their work cut out for themselves from the outset by featuring an overly familiar father-son story with two rather unlikable central characters and set against the backdrop of robot boxing in a movie year that had already produced another edition of Transformers. Shawn Levy’s movie works in fits and starts: there’s too much borrowing from The Champ and Rocky editions I and IV, and there are no surprises at all in the overlong film, but it’s handsomely made and peopled with enough peripherally interesting characters to hold one’s attention albeit barely.
