I borrowed the X-Men Wolverine movie. I have a feeling that will be coming to a this thread soon but I figured I should give it a watch for completeness.

In other words, CW loved it.

So CW, since you're a big Hugh Jackman fan, what do you think of his latest venture?



Real Steel? Really? I think they just made the movie for the title, which is absolutely terrible. When I first saw the trailer, my initial thought was it's a story of a futuristic version of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. I've heard of a ton of people say the same thing. People don't have much of an interest in watching real boxing anymore. I highly doubt there would be much of a following for robot boxing.

Now, if someone made an Electric Football movie...that's a different story.

In related news, isn't "Hugh Jackman" one of those names that you hear and think, "adult film industry?" In fact, I would argue Hugh Jackman is such a quintessential porn name that if I heard it as a leading man in a porn, I would say it's almost too obvious; like "Karl Hungus" from The Big Lebowski. His name might as well be Rod Hardwood. It's amazing to me that he has made a name for himself as an actual actor.

I want to see that movie. It looks entertaining. Rock em sock em robots were awesome.

Even though Hugh Jackoffmen is clearly the best actor EVER, no, I do not think I'll be going to see Real Steel.

never heard of it

Saw Hanna.

There was a lot of potential here, I thought. I did enjoy the unbelievability of a 14 (I'm guessing) year old girl beating up grown men and doing pull ups like they were nothin.

I just about turned it off and had a "done as a society" moment when I thought they were about to do an adolescent girl on girl scene...and then they didn't. Even for DFS that would have been too much. Watching the movie beside a Swamp donkey, it was an awkward moment.

Decent premise, poor execution. I took nothing from the movie. Don't bother.
