FILM SYNOPSIS:

Balancing gritty action and emotional heart, “Real Steel” is an inspiring and visually stunning film that takes audiences on an action-packed journey. Washed-up boxer Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) scrapes by as a small-time robot-fight promoter as he tries to make a comeback. Against all odds he eventually succeeds—at least in the eyes of his son Max (Dakota Goyo). “Real Steel” is spectacular family entertainment that will have everyone cheering again and again. 

Our Review... 

This movie is way better than we expected. Real Steel has comedy, action and drama. Max (Dakota Goyo) is really hard headed and stubborn like his dad Charlie (Hugh Jackman). In the beginning of the film Charlie doesn't want his robot to fight for the small money he just goes for the big bucks and it always gets him in trouble and he looses. Then when Max gets his Gen 2 sparing robot he won't take the small fights he wants the big bucks too but it works out for Max and they start making lots of money and beating all the other robots. It was fun seeing the relationship grow between Charlie and his son Max throughout the movie. The final fight was so intense! It made you feel good to see how happy Charlie was as he was shadow boxing in the corner to show ATOM (the Robot) what to do. This movie doesn't disappoint!

The Blu-ray special features are great! There are deleted scenes and bloopers. I really enjoyed watching the part with Sugar Ray Leonard training Hugh Jackman to box. That was pretty cool. The making of Metal Valley was interesting to watch, you get to see how much work goes into one scene. We liked seeing how they built all the robots for the movie too. This DVD is a must have!

Now here's the exciting part... 

I get to give one lucky winner a copy of the Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack!
