The concept of the show is just amazing and every episode keeps you on edge.
      I really really hope you'll consider it

      I bet the sport experienced some waning interest so they started trending away from bots that fought like humans, and more towards bots that moved with more than human flexibility making for a more dynamic presentation. I'm sure someone built a bot with 3 arms and they were like okay, let's implement some restrictions at least.

      @RandomShart Well, about that genre, there is a massive decrease in the number of those films because a lot of movies like that didn't have a good plot, and back then it worked, but these days a lot of studios just want sequels, remakes, and projects that they know they can get money for, so making a campy original family film isn't appealing to studios.
      I am a filmmaker and screenwriter student, and I watch so many films a year; depending on the year, I watch over 150 movies, and I can't even think of one recently in that category…maybe Barbie and Wonka? Marcel the Shell with Shoes On and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish are incredible; Luca is good; the Ninja Turtle animated film was passable; and Super Mario animated film, but that one for me was highly overrated; other than the animation, I didn't think any other aspect was great. Kung Fu Panda 4? But same thing, not a great film; Megamind 2 is atrocious... I don't know.

    This movie is a love letter to boxing in every single way possible. There's that moment in the final round when Bailey looks at Max as if to say, "Now you understand. This is why he was beautiful in the ring." And you can see the two of them make eye contact, not holding back any tears. It's a beautiful resolution to the film. It doesn't excuse Charlie's behavior or condone it, but it DOES finally show the side of him that he had repressed for so long. This is where he belongs, and he is holding back nothing.

Something like this was so wonderful to see … just makes your heart grow. Every day I see my parents getting older, and any time you see them doing something they enjoyed when young, almost seeing them when they were young - something we don’t think on often, our parents were once people with dreams and ambitions before us, being young and making dumb mistakes… just makes me cry eachhhh dang time.

    Fun Facts:
    1. The three kids asking about Ambush at the start of the film are Shawn Levy's children. In fact, two of them make a guest appearance in "Free Guy", another Shawn Levy film (they're the girls who are seen performing the bank robbery mission, with one of them saying, "Waste that mother-"). Hugh Jackson also provide a guest appearance in that film was the voice of the guy who gives Molotov Girl information about the video clip with information she's looking for.
    2. The film is loosely adapted from a short story called Steel by Richard Matheson (best known for his novels Somewhere in Time and I Am Legend, as well as several short stories that were adapted into iconic episodes of The Twilight Zone, such as Little Girl Lost. Steel was also adapted into a TZ episode). Matheson also written the short story Duel, which was made into a TV movie and then released on the big screen, directed by a young Steven Spielberg (who served as the producer of this film). This film was the last live action film adaptation of Richard Matheson's work before his passing two years later after this film's release.
    3. Originally, Levy was going to have the bots be all digital, but Spielberg suggested to him that doing practical robots and CG (which helped get better performances from the actors in the film). The practical robots featured in the film were made by Legacy Effects, formerly Stan Winston Effects (who made The Terminator, Aliens and Predator. They also did the animatronic dinosaurs for Jurassic Park).
    4. When first sent the script, Hugh Jackman read it to his son Oscar as a bedtime story. Oscar was so captivated by the story of 'Real Steel' that Jackman knew he had to take the role of Charlie Kenton.
    5. The location for Bailey's boxing training facility is in Detroit, as was the Crash Palace. The shooting location for Crash Palace was a former automotive factory.
    6. The truck Charlie drives and moves his fighting bots around in is a 1960 International Sightliner.
    7. This movie has many actors from Marvel films (MCU and non-MCU). Anthony Mackie, Evangeline Lilly, and Dakota Goyo have played Falcon/Sam Wilson, the Wasp/Hope, and young Thor, respectively in the MCU. Hugh Jackman played Wolverine/Logan in the Marvel-based X-Men series. Kevin Durand played the blob in the Wolverine movie. And Hope Davis, who plays the aunt, plays Tony Stark's mom.
    8. Charlie Kenton's idea to wear down Zeus's power supply by allowing him to repeatedly land blows on Atom was in fact a technique used by real life professional boxer Muhammad Ali. Nicknamed the 'rope-a-dope', Ali utilized the strategy to tire fellow boxer George Foreman, a much stronger opponent than himself, and eventually gain victory. Ali famously angered Foreman with phrases such as "Is that all you got, George?" during the fight, mirrored in the film by Kenton's taunting hand gesture.
    9. Kingpin, the bombastic promoter at The Zoo and Metro's controller, is played by the screenwriter of the film John Gatins. After this film, he worked again with Robert Zemeckis (who was one of the producers of this film along with Spielberg) on the 2012 film Flight with Denzel Washington.
    10. In a nod to the source story, the first fight with Noisy Boy was much like the fight in the book. Both were matches where the main character had to haggle his way in, both lost early, and neither got the money they thought they were going to get.
    11. In the scene where Atom is activated for the first time, director Shawn Levy told Atom's puppeteer to mirror everything that Dakota Goyo did, without telling Dakota. The look of wonder on Max's face as he sees Atom sitting up, looking at him, and moving with him is genuine.
    12. Charlie and Ricky's history is that they were both fighters, with Ricky beating Charlie in the ring.
    13. Since the film's release, the rise in reported cases of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE, aka Boxer's Dementia) in both boxing and other extreme/contact sports and the debilitating effects it leads to means that film's premise of human boxing being banned in the near future out of concern for the health and safety of the participants may not be so far fetched.
    14. Max uses Atom's Shadow function to make him dance before fights. Many boxers and other athletes take dance and ballet classes in their off time because it helps with their speed, agility, and concentration. By teaching him how to dance Max also contributes to one of Atom's greatest strengths, his speed and maneuverability due to his small size.
    15. The motel that Charlie and Max stay at after the fight at the Zoo, where Charlie is seen beginning to train Atom, was the same motel used for the location of the horror thriller Vacancy (2007).

    I watched this movie a few months before my dad passed away. It's not the all time greatest movie we've ever watched together, but it has become the most meaningful; both then and especially now. It reminds me of all the times we spent together while I was growing up. Spending every weekend fishing from the crack of dawn til noon even though neither of us were any good at it. I didn't understand it at the time, but my dad did. It was never really about the fishing, it was about sharing the time we had that we sometimes take for granted. Thanks for reacting to this one, it holds a special place in my heart.

    After the Zeus fight, when they were interviewing the girl (I cannot remember her name) even though what she saying is that Zeus is still the champ, you can tell by her body language and her eyes that she is NERVOUS because there has NEVER been a bot that could last one round with Zeus, let alone get a hit on him. And Atom and Charlie SHOVED that down her throat by being incredibly resilient and pounding the hell out of Zeus. And I LOVE that!!

    It is a testament to Hugh Jackman's charm/charisma/magnetism/ability-to-act-his-ass-off that he is able to take on the role of a real asshole like Charlie Kenton and actually make us care about him. Props should be given to young Dakota Goyo as Max as well, because he makes the bond between father and son believable.

There used to be one called Robot Combat League, but the robots were more like giant rockem sockems. Still cool as hell though. Anyway this is a hell of a movie. I love how even though we know Hugh as Wolverine, he can still make us believe we are watching a character that *isn't* Wolverine. Evangeline Lilly is great in this too, as is the kid, who reminds me of the kid from Iron Man 3 (i know its not) but yeah, he's really good.
