Movie: Real Steel
Basic Plot: It's Rock'em Sock'em Robots The Movie, enough said.
I'm Okay With: The fact that this movie wasn't half bad as long as you ignored the annoying kid. The fact that robot boxing is so popular in this world when regular boxing hasn't been relevant in our world in decades. The fact that Wolverine thought it would be a good idea to put his first robot in the ring versus a live bull. The fact that you could watch Rocky and imagine Sylvester Stallone as a robot and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two movies. The fact that there must be thousands of fighting robots with thousands of different names and yet everyone seems to be able to name each one on sight. The fact that a robot not built for fighting was able to last more than a minute against robots that were built specifically for fighting. The fact that in the last fight our underdog robot is switched to mimic mode and is able to mimic Wolverine's movements without actually seeing him.
I'm Not Okay With: The fact that during the big fight, they had ring card girls who were female-looking robots. Why? I understand that two robots are doing the fighting in the ring, but do you know who is watching the fight? Not other robots. So, why would you have robot ring card girls (and in case you don't know what that is, it is the chicks who walk around in bikinis holding up a card telling you what round it is before the bell rings)? If I'm going to see a fight (which I never will), I want to see some hot chick in a skimpy outfit with daddy issues walking around the ring with a card that tells me what round it is and not a cold, metal machine that looks vaguely feminine. I am not okay with that.
