The first thing that came to mind after watching Real Steel was the film Over the Top followed of course by the original Rocky. Pretty ironic that Sylvester Stallone starred in both films, but who can blame me right? I’m a huge fan of both movies and in my video library both rank right up there in the upper echelon of story lines that depict an underdog against all odds.

I’ll easily admit that the plot was absolutely predictable, but I really enjoyed the overall feel of the movie. There was just the right amount of action and drama in this film, and I was at the edge of my seat each and every time “ATOM” stepped in that ring. Definitely a perfect feel good film that the whole family will enjoy. Screw the critics, watch this film and be the judge yourself!
