I think the thing that killed this movie was the fact that it came out during the same year as a bunch of high ticket titles. It came out the same year as Harry Potter, Thor, Fast Five, Captain America, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and Xmen First class and a few others.
The Atom/Zeus fight mirrors the first fight between Apollo Creed and Rocky Balboa pretty perfectly, right down to the decision...always thought that was a nice touch.
One of my top 2 movies behind Pacific Rim. I remember my dad tearing up in the theater over the father/son bonding moments, he couldn’t handle it. Films with robots really allow for the most robust experiences.
The director Shawn Levy did an amazing job giving this movie so much heart and you don't even expect it. Some of his other movies The Adam Project and Free Guy (both starring Ryan Reynolds) are other good movies he's done that don't have any business having as much heart as they do.
I love this movie and that more people are reacting to it. I first watched this back in 2011 shortly after it came out and it's been a favorite of mine ever since. This movie and A Knight's Tale are undoubtedly my top 2 favorite movies of all time. They're just wholesome fun.
I just realized that the guy controlling the robot (fighting Noisy Boy) is Garret Warren. Garrett was the stunt coordinator on the Battle Angel set. Someone on set asked if he lost his eye doing stunts and he said no, it was a failed assassination attempt. I looked it up and found out it was true! I think it was Joe Pesci that hired the assassin or one of their wives. I think he was also the bar tender in Battle Angel, I forget. I was not on set that day :p
A bit of background on Warren's character here. He plays Artemis Becker, a guy who first started out in a small machine shop and despises the WRB due to it's corruption behind the scenes. In his view, the fairest fight is one that's unbound by rules, where grit will put you in your place. With that philosophy, he built Midas to be tough enough to tank punishment and the hallmarks to use every move in the book, legal or otherwise, to his advantage. For that, Becker was credited for being the godfather of Underworld boxing, and Midas the undisputed champion.
I really enjoy this movie. Beyond the robot boxer angle, the basic estranged father/son story isn't anything new, but it is done very well. A suggestion for another enjoyable film set around the boxing ring that I'd suggest is 1992's Diggstown, starring Lou Gosset Jr. and James Woods.
Massive love to Devin G and his misses. The best two reaction channels on UA-cam! Just seen the video of you in the sea with your girlfriends swimsuit turning into your massive smile...Awesome brother! You're a lucky man. P.s Your reactions are the ones I can watch over and over.
This movie is so underrated it's pretty crazy to think it came out over a decade ago but it still holds up. It is for sure a rollercoaster of emotions I never thought a robot fighting movie would have me feeling anything other than pure excitement and joy to see robots fighting but it didn't work out like that
1:03:12 no they won fair and square, when all the round are used up and both opponents are standing it depends on how much hits, dodgers, and who went on the floor the most number of times
Actually really liked this movie. Always wished there was a sequel to this film. I also liked the theme song of this film, like when Adam started to win again or when he was being trained by the dad.
It's true that despite Zues's owners are not nice people, but it does make sense why Zues won. He dominated the first 4 rounds. He knocked down Atom like 4 times. Atom only had the advantage in like the last 2 minutes of the match. If a person won 4 arm wrestling contests against someone, and then the other person almost beat them in the 5th contest, would you say that they should win the whole contest? I'm actually really happy that Atom "won" the way he did, as it's far more realistic than him actually defeating Zues in a fight. BTW love this video and I subbed. You are a great channel.
I love you his movie, it got heart, it got great action. I would love to have seen a sequel you want to know more about this world and what happened the characters. Great reaction, keep working hard Devin, we love what you do
Hey Devon holyshit you're jacked brother LOL. Yeah man been watching your channel for a while love your reactions and your honesty man you seem like a really cool down-to-earth good person man and that's why I hang with you. Now you going to be mad at me but you DID say to suggest movies to you here in the comments, well I've got one for you, it's 2015's _Bone Tomahawk_ with Kurt Russell in it. But dude I'm going to forewarn you there are parts in this movie that are going to wad you up like a ball of paper LOL. It's an amazing movie but brother I guarantee you will never forget it LOL. Anyone who's seen it can back me up haha. But any Kurt Russell fan won't be complete until they've see this one. Some of his best work.
I love this movie. If you haven't seen any of these Action movies I would love to see your reaction: "I am Number four", "Rise of the Planet of The Apes", or "M3gan". I think you and Stephanie would like M3gan and find it funny.
This movie was based on Rock em Sock em Robots, and has no business being as incredible as it is. Someone, probably a number of someones, really put heart and soul into it.
Glad you enjoyed this movie. Me and my son loved watching it when he was little, he made me watch it 100 times but I still like it cuz it doesn't get old. Great reaction as always bro
I watched Fast 10,The Meg 2,The new Mission Impossible movie,Twisted Metal the tv show and the new animated Resident Evil movie for free on my Xbox Series X and Hidden Strike which is John Cena and Jackie Chans movie on netflix.
Zeus won the fight because it's pointed through all rounds, and Zeus was winning majority of the rounds, from what we saw Zeus knocked Atom downed 3 times (I think) and Zeus only 1, so Zeus wins. But Atom deserved the win, making real steel history, a junkyard bot beat a high quality million dollar robot, Atom is the people's champion!
It’s the “Rock Em Sock Em Robots 🤖” version of “Rocky”💥🥊..& very dcent CGI for the robots..Waaay bettr than that awful Sharknado or Lake Placid III CGI...Very entertaining
Well.. Zeus won because boxing is scored by round and zues….was strong and won more rounds…yes if the fight went on Atom would win….but zeus scored more points over all..this is how floyd mayweather wins he outscores his oppenent every round and wins
Love how this movie is getting reactions from people now. It’s a good one.
Same with tmnt 1990!
React last stop 174 movie .✍️🎬🏄🌊💦🇧🇷
Same. Great reaction to a great movie.
I love how some movies that I absolutely love are such a flop at the time they are released, but years later they become a cult classic!
One of my absolute favorites
This movie is so slept on. It's better than I expected and now it's one of my favorites.
another slept on movie is ready player one

@@privateer9181 mecha G was really cool when I first saw it
i saw this movie in the theatres, everyone was cheering in the fights, it was like watching a real boxing match live, amazing energy in the theater.
Devin, dude, you never have to worry about looking cool. You are a godamn statue of a man.
Statues always looking cool.
Much love family 💪🏽
@@deving9793 Built like a greek statue of Hercules/Heracles. The epitome of strength.
@@deving9793can we get a ridiculous 6 adam Sandler movie reaction????
This is one of those movies you watch on a whim at home and then kick yourself for not going and seeing it in a theater with an audience
The Atom/Zeus fight mirrors the first fight between Apollo Creed and Rocky Balboa pretty perfectly, right down to the decision...always thought that was a nice touch.
Even the knockdown at the last round, up to the way Zeus fell. Also Zeus' name is a reference to Apollo, both are named after Greek gods.
@@ArnoSchmidt22 They were no remach
This movie is so underrated. I think it was an awesome movie.

Went to see this in theaters, the whole theater was cheering, was an amazing experience, not just a movie. An experience.

Diggstown is one of the most underrated movies of all time...🔥🔥🔥
The father son gimmick reminds of the 80s Stallone flick Over The Top except arm wrestling instead of robots
Based on the short story, Steel, by Richard Matheson, which was then turned into an episode of The Twilight Zone.
Massive love to Devin G and his misses. The best two reaction channels on UA-cam!
Just seen the video of you in the sea with your girlfriends swimsuit turning into your massive smile...Awesome brother! You're a lucky man.

This movie is great! One you can put on anytime when you just want something entertaining to watch.

Ohh.. Poor robot and his metal balls 😆It hurt! All the guys felt this pain 17:57
Sugar Ray Leonard was the boxing trainer/co-ordinator on the film!!!
Zeus never skips leg day
1:03:12 no they won fair and square, when all the round are used up and both opponents are standing it depends on how much hits, dodgers, and who went on the floor the most number of times
53:07 buddy technically started it with the “partner” line

That one black guy at the underground fights was Anthony Macky from 8 Mile,The Avengers,Twisted Metal the tv show.
I have never seen 8 mile! I heard its good
Great reaction and commentary.
Audibly "DAMN"ed when this man popped on screen.
Never seen a jacked reaction meme before.
Devin, it has been revealed by the creators of the movie Atom is aware, they just wanted it to be subtle
Yes always been a great movie! Great reaction!
Devin G, you really enjoyed this one.
i love the fact u said that about the Intro song. bc i also dont like country but this song gets me every time
Love this movie
This was fire!
Subscribed. Here are a few movies that I recommend:
1: DEVIL
2: FREQUENCY
3: HANGING’ WITH THE HOMEBOYS
Just to name a few.
8 Mile Would Be A Good Old Classic You Should React Too.
Eminem isnt relevant anymore though?
@@Ugo2sleep You Are So Out Of Touch With Reality.
@@koutastone1994 I'm only kidding, don't mean any offense guys. I am out of touch though for sure 😁
I dont know when you started doing over hour long reaction but I love it
Love this Movie so Much❤❤❤
This and Over the Top are my two favorite estranged father/son movies
I love this movie. If you haven't seen any of these Action movies I would love to see your reaction: "I am Number four", "Rise of the Planet of The Apes", or "M3gan". I think you and Stephanie would like M3gan and find it funny.
Woooooooo! Looking Swole Mr Devin G.

Quality movie. Basically based on Rocky 2 and over the top. Both amazing movies 😂
Great reaction
I watched Fast 10,The Meg 2,The new Mission Impossible movie,Twisted Metal the tv show and the new animated Resident Evil movie for free on my Xbox Series X and Hidden Strike which is John Cena and Jackie Chans movie on netflix.
All of the movies so good!

The movie was way better then I expected.

Love This Movie Sucks It Didn't Get A Sequel
Hopefully in the future
@@deving9793 👍💯
Noisy boy was my favorite but he got ripped😂😂😂
It’s the “Rock Em Sock Em Robots 🤖” version of “Rocky”💥🥊..& very dcent CGI for the robots..Waaay bettr than that awful Sharknado or Lake Placid III CGI...Very entertaining
Mon film préféré depuis sa sortie
This film was filmed in Detroit.
That was like Rocky fighting Drago.
One of my favorite movies and I’m so happy it’s getting the recognition I felt it deserves. Glad you liked it bro. 🔥🔥
He did a rope a dope on the japanese robot at the end like Ali did with Foreman.
best movie ever
2011 This Movie Came Out
28:16 Zeus can copy his opponent fighting style atom “ha ha sit down”
Good movie if i was him and i found out i could control the robot with my body i would have done that from the get go.
this movie really is great and im kinda mad at myself waiting till the pandemic to watch it which is when i 1st saw this movie
Fun fact, the guy in the eyepatch is the guy that plays ATom
Well.. Zeus won because boxing is scored by round and zues….was strong and won more rounds…yes if the fight went on Atom would win….but zeus scored more points over all..this is how floyd mayweather wins he outscores his oppenent every round and wins
Another underrated film, cgi is next level
Devin my G, have you seen Warlords starring Jet Li and Andy Lau?
Not fir everyone but I enjoyed it.
Great movie!! #BringTheBeardBack
The audio gets funky around the later half of the film
this dude funny asf, deff gotta check his other shit fah sho
It Came out 2011 its a Really good movie
Love this movie. The fights were choreographed by The Legendary SUGAR RAY LEONARD
You should do twister
