  Review by Sebby97 ★★★½ 28

  Fall 2011 - You see that they made a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots movie with Hugh Jackman. You think it looks stupid.

  October 2011 - Real Steel is released, and it gets pretty good reviews. You think, " interesting, maybe I'll see that sometime".

  November 2011 to March 2020 - You have a good high school experience. You navigate drugs and alcohol for the first time. You fall in love. You lose her. You graduate. You attend film school. You live. You Laugh, You Love. You Cry. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is elected President. A malicious virus descends on the world.

  You never get around to seeing Real Steel.

  May 2020 - Something you need is an "add on item"…

  A cute watch no doubt but one that suffers from being aggressively formulaic and predictable.

  Review by Filmento ★★★★½ 1

  The script for this movie is top-notch and has a lot to teach on all fronts of modern screenwriting.

  -The scenes are about entertaining situations with obstacles and conflict and reversals in a way that they can stand on their own.
  -The main character is entertainingly douchey, but still always functions because he gets knocked down constantly and also interacts with a type of characters who can handle his douchyness without feeling like victims.
  -The relationships have enough emotional baggage and unresolved conflict to get invested in, in a way that the audience can really wish for them to be resolved.
  -The theme connects all external and internal plotlines into one united story about finding gold inside discarded things, whether it's an abandoned robot or an abandoned child.
  -There's also something incredibly cinematic about boxing.

  Definitely check this out. Fantastic movie but also has so much to teach you in terms of writing for Hollywood of today.

  This film deserves more praise than it gets. The story here is nothing that hasn’t been seen before, but it totally works.

  Review by JBird ★★★ 3

  2020 should have been the year,
  One sport would finally switch gears.
  But this movie lied,
  When it implied,
  Robot boxing could possibly appear.

  Review by Matthew Kelly ★★★½

  At one point Kevin Durand's character challenges Hugh Jackman's character to a boxing rematch and I think that's supposed to be an easter egg for X-Men Origins Wolverine fans. What a time to be alive.
