Movie Review: Real Steel

The only thing I hated about Real Steel is its title. 
The rest is perfect for what could have been a Fathers' Day movie. Too heartwarming for a movie about testosterone and robots. 
And I'm not complaining.




The biggest promise of course can be seen in that kid, Dakota Goyo, who didn't just display his charisma in the big screen but also his ability to craft some chemistry with practically any ensemble he works with. He's as good as he was in Thor. What with those eyes brimming with so much emotions you can have a dose of yours too from it. A born actor.


The scene I both hated and loved was the goodbye scene 
between Charlie and Max upon the latter's turnover back to his aunt.
I love that the heart of the movie took shape in this scene. 
I hate that it broke my heart.
I simply hate goodbyes. In fiction and in reality.
