Movie Review: Real Steel


Written by Ashley Penrod, Assistant Editor


So, picture that you have several movie-ingredients sitting on your countertop. Said ingredients are as follows:



  • Rocky

  • Transformers (first one – the not-crappy one)

  • Ong Bak

  • Million Dollar Baby

  • Wolverine

  • C-3PO

Along with random bits of freaking awesomeness (add to taste) – what might one expect to get after blending these bits and pieces? The answer can be found in the new Disney CGI romp, “Real Steel”. As I hadn’t even heard of the movie, my counterpart, Managing Editor Matt Sernaker, told me “Its Rock-em-Sock-em Robots: The Movie. You’ll like it.” While this answered all of none of my questions, I was bored and figured a movie sounded good.
