Man of Steel vs. Real Steel

Real Steel is a walking cliché, it recycles every boxing movie trope there is it is overrun with sentimentality, and man do I love this film. This is a film that on all accounts should just be shrugged off but it is imbued with so much life from Hugh Jackman, even the kid and robots were great. This movie knows it’s using every old trick in the book but still treats its characters with dignity, its honestly not afraid of what it is, which is the one thing that sets itself above Man of Steel.

I was surprised at how much I didn't dislike Real Steel. I was also surprised at how unaffected I was by Man of Steel.

Reel Steel was great, Man of Steel is mediocre in my eyes.

Real steel all the way

Real Steel doesn't make me feel like the movie is going on too long, nor does it exhaust me with its excess.
