Story of Ex-Boxer and Boxing Robots!!!!

In this blog entry I’m gonna talk about the movie Real Steel, that is directed by Shawn Levy and produced by Shawn Levy, Susan Montford, Don Murphy, Robert Zemeckis and screenwriter of the movie, John Gatins.

This movie was starred by Hugh Hackman, Dakota Goyo, Evangeline Lilly, Anthony Mackie, Kevin Durand, Hope Davis, James Rebhorn, Karl Yune, Olga Fonda.

The script is seriously contrived and the movie is directed without even an inkling of subtlety. In the near future, Charlie (Jackman) is an ex-boxer who now controls massive robots that have taken over the sport.
 A stubborn failure buried in debt, he has no interest in his 11-year-old son Max (Goyo), whose mother has just died, but agrees to care for him until his rich aunt and uncle (Davis and Rebhom) return from holiday. But Max is far savvier with robots than his dad. And with the help of Dad’s lovelorn pal Bailey (Lilly), Max defies Charlie’s expectations with his scrapheap robot Atom.

It is structured as a standard story of redemption, so we know that Charlie will turn himself around. But the problem is that Charlie is such a jerk that we despise him both for the way he bull headedly destroys his life and how he so cruelly dismisses his son. It got laid so thickly where we can’t develop any sympathy for Charlie despite Jackman’s enormous charm; all of our allegiance is with Max, who is wise and knowing and sees things as they are.
 Moreover the film centres on noisy robot battles, which are clearly shows where director Levy’s interest lies. He made key moments by putting all of his energy in the plot but never remotely care what happens when two metal beasts are bashing the bolts out of each other.
 By visual the film looks great with a realistic depiction of the future. And the robots have believable presence on screen; Atom even seems to have a soul, although his connection to Max is far more moving than Max’s relationship with his dad.

We have cheering through the final scenes knowing exactly how it’s going to end. It’s a surprisingly fun and wild ride.Finally i can say is that it's definitely going to hit box office.
