REAL STEEL

Wanted to re-watch a ‘popcorn’ movie on a Saturday night so decided to watch this again. Based on what everybody said, Real Steal is like Over The Top plus Rocky with Robots. Over The Top because there’s a man, his son, and a truck. Rocky because it’s obvious. Real Steel is not very innovating though but it’s excitingly great and has plenty of heart. I really liked the kiddo Dakota. Sometimes you wonder what is the age of that kid, given the expressions and emotions coming out of that cute face. It’s enjoyable and has plenty of heart. The climax isn’t so much overwhelming but it intends to be more heartfelt. Again, it’s like Over The Top which the father is trying to make his son proud and Rocky because it’s boxing and add some robots in it. Even without thinking much about the robots, there is always human heart in this film.  Great popcorn film on a Saturday night<3
