Real Steel (2011)

Hello ladies and gentlemen. After a lengthy absence, I am back to Jack Up some movies that I watched during 2011.  So let's get this review on the web shall we?

"Champions aren't born. They're made."

When I first saw the trailer to 'Real Steel', I said exactly what everybody said or thought all around the world: They made a movie out of 'Rock em-Sock em Robots'. When I finally saw it, afterwards I made a mental note to buy the DVD of this when it comes out. It's that damn good in my opinion.

In the future, the sport of boxing had become so violent that robots were designed to do the fighting in the ring and beat the holy scrap out of each other as instructed by their human handlers through headsets, motion control hand panels or heads up display monitor controls.

This is basically a father-son story. Hugh Jackman and Dakota Goyo give top notch performances all around.  Even the motion controlled cgi robots are good actors.  This film is definitely worth a look when it comes to DVD and Blu-Ray.

If you like giant robots and the 'Rocky' flicks, or any underdog boxing movie out there now...this is the film for you.



In the sequel, I wonder if they'll upgrade to professional wrestling or martial arts? Time will tell.


Until next time...I'm Justin, and you just got Jacked!
