If you didn’t catch Real Steel in theaters, now’s your chance to own it on Blu-ray & DVD. It officially hit stores today and if you get the chance, it’s one movie I encourage you to watch soon.
I’m not a huge robot movie fan. I’ve seen a few though. My favorites happen to be iRobot, Bicentennial Man, and the animated adventure of Robots? But, of all “robot” movies I’ve watched before, I’ve never quite seen one like Real Steal.
I was never into rock ‘em—sock ‘em type robots nor have I ever been fond of boxing; I just don’t get why someone would purposely jump into a ring knowing it’s possible they’ll waddle out of there with a whole new face. but all that aside; the cutting edge of fighting robots and the art of boxing, combined, make for a pretty insane movie; worthy of being raved!

Enter the not-so-distant future where boxing has gone high-tech—2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots have taken over the ring. Starring Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter turned small-time promoter, Real Steel is a riveting, white-knuckle action ride that will leave you cheering. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the thrill-packed arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback. Visually stunning and complete with knockout bonus material, Real Steel is a pulse-pounding, inspirational adventure filled with heart and soul.

Final thoughts:
Bloopers are a must see (after the film; don’t do it before cause it’ll ruin the fun) and the commentary with Director Shawn Levy must be watched. The movie is really is “that good.” The girls and I love it and have actually watched it a half a dozen times since last weekend. Hub, CJ and Zach still rave about it too.
Here’s a piece of our favorite part of the movie (or at least the girls’ most favorite part); makes us laugh every time.
All and all—it’s a must see movie!
