Just came back from it. Ridiculously stupid and cliched, but it had a so-bad-its good kind of vibe to it, especially in the last half-hour. However, too much awful drama and writing, and the kid was a terrible, terrible actor. Also, anyone else notice the gratuitous product placement? Every single computer monitor has HP in the corner, every fight venue has a named sponsor, and Dr. Pepper is drunk unnaturally.

I'm kinda happy this is decent. Because the trailer looked so stupid!

I saw this movie today with an old friend I haven't seen in years, because he was visiting for the weekend.  IT WAS AWESOME, AND FUN TO WATCH! Paul, my friend, enjoyed it also. Hugh Jackman, did a great job in the movie.
 
Oh, and don't worry about the kid.  He's not that bad, and certainly better than Jake Lloyd, who played Anakin Skywalker.

I was seriously expecting this to get either a one or two-star rating. Four? Alright... I just might see this.

Still would rather see Ides of March. October isn't the time for big dumb action movies.

Yeah, sorry, I'm going with my gut on this one. I shall not see it.

I like robots and I like boxing. Seems like a no-brainer.

Alex you've probably obliterated whatever modicum of respect you've built up over recent years with the art-film crowd.

Made in Detroit, well sort of. I was on a film shoot in the old Ford factory just before Real Steel shot in the same factory. I feel special...

...I can't believe my eyes. I guess I'll catch it on cable some day? And with an embarrassment of cliches, I suppose it'll work as the base for a hell of a drinking game.

Before I can develope a valid opinion (which will be when this comes to Dvd), I can only judge by previews, and from those this film looks incredibly cliche packed with contrived sub-plots here and there (lonesome kid, lackluster love story, tear-jerking moments, etc). I can't see how this meritted so many positive reviews - but I've been wrong before.
