Real Steel | Ratings & Reviews

"The uncanny thing about Real Steel is just how gripping the fight scenes are; Sugar Ray Leonard served as a consultant to the motion-capture performers responsible for pantomiming the machines' moves."

VarietyVariety

"An underdog drama with clanging metal-on-metal action, Real Steel feels scientifically programmed to claw at your heart while its battling robots, which have a semblance of human personality, drum up your adrenaline. That said, I'm not sure that the movie itself has more than a semblance of a heart."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Real Steel is a real movie. It has characters, it matters who they are, it makes sense of its action, it has a compelling plot. This is the sort of movie, I suspect, young viewers went to the "Transformers" movies looking for."

Roger EbertRoger Ebert

"Real Steel is a family movie and was a surprisingly feel-good watch."

"As it happens, this recycled reclamation of underdogs saga is neither as bad as it sounds nor quite as good as it could be."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"Real Steel is a heartfelt and often stirring father-son tale with a high-concept premise -- robot boxing -- that works far better and plays out less ludicrously than you might expect."

IGNIGN

"This story of a washed-up boxer's redemption through robot boxing is made of nothing but recycled parts."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"The robot fight scenes are brutal, the emotions are big and obvious, and yet I liked Real Steel a lot. It's a good natured film, made with some wit and flair. If I were 12 years old again, I'd probably think it just about the best film I'd ever seen."
