Add a CommentCinderella Man with robots! Awesome!
OMG I absolutely love ths movie!! Hugh Jackman is amazing in this movie!!, I just love it
It is what it is, brutal, schmaltzy. I loved it.
I was surprised at how good this film was. It had good action, but it also had good humor and was touching at moments between a father and son. I would watch it again.
Good family-type film.
The boxing robots are fun to watch. The movie is a good mix of action + story. The only complaint I have is that, the AI in Atom is far more advanced than any other boxing robots in the movie and it does not make sense that the story described it as an older generation robot than the others. Even the most powerful supercomputers this day (and probably for the next decade or two) will not be able to understand and duplicate complex human motions in real time in a fight,
i watched 5 minutes of this film, predicted the rest of the movie, and then watched it to see if my prediction was correct. it was. i don't know about other people, but i actually like surprises in movies...
Great fun! (...if you let that stuffy Inner Film Critic sit this one out.)
ok
A pretty fun movie. If you were a 10 year old boy this would be the greatest movie ever made. Basically rock em' sock em' robots on film. Great special effects and the acting was fine, bordering on overt sentimentality. But the story is fun and it is a good movie for the whole family. Certainly adults will roll their eyes at some of the dialogue and the obviousness of how the final fight was going to go. But I still enjoyed this.
