Roger Ebert

"Real Steel" is a real movie. It has characters, it matters who they are, it makes sense of its action, it has a compelling plot.

The New York Times

‘Real Steel’ feels scientifically programmed to claw at your heart while its battling robots drum up your adrenaline.

IGN

This is the 'boy and his robot' movie that Transformers always should have been.

The Hollywood Reporter

Attempting to tell a heartwarming tale of the redemption of a washed-up fighter in a sports world dominated by metal-crunching mechanical pugilists, this punishingly predictable tale will test whether sci-fi action fanboys can stomach having their cherished genre infiltrated by sentimental hokum.

Variety

Like the high-fructose-laced soda given front-and-center product placement, this underdog sports story is sweet and corny — but in just the right measure to satisfy the masses.

"It's an incredibly cynical movie, written and acted by robots..."

IMDb

It's not a complex plot...but it's made just for fun.

Rotten Tomatoes

The truth is that it is a fun film and its few inconsistencies are insignificant compared to the outstanding special effects and the compelling thematic thread.
