About this movie

Enter the not-so-distant future where boxing has gone high-tech - 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots have taken over the ring. Starring Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter turned small-time promoter, Real Steel is a riveting, white-knuckle action ride that will leave you cheering. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the thrill-packed arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback. Real Steel is a pulse-pounding, inspirational adventure filled with heart and soul.

Ratings and reviews

£5 (rounded up)to buy maybe but not to rent! Digital downloads are way overpriced, how do you lot validate it? No really how? No package no physical disc to burn . No wonder the people buy illegal copies( I don't condone this ) if somebody can knock em out in a shed for a few pound and still turn a profit( or as we are told to believe to fund terrorism) . Its corporate greed! Nothing more, nothing less . Don't pay over the odds people! Wait 6months and the disc will be in your local bargain basket .

Really like this movie, but can only give it 2 stars as for £12 why does it only have 2.0 stereo sound!? For this money you'd expect the HD Version to be blu ray quality and therefore have the 5.1 soundtrack. This is really poor that so many Google play titles like this only offer an inferior (not even SD) sound equivalent. Google you need to sort this. All HD movies should include the HD sound experience too, i.e minimum 5.1!

Ok, not exactly hard to guess the outcome but it's a good laugh getting there. Great cgi, cheesy but quite funny script in places. Worth a watch on a Saturday night.
