"Bring It!" First look at Hugh Jackman in REAL STEEL: "So admittedly this isn’t going to be winning any prized for story or probably acting but dude. Duuuuuuuuuuuuude! It’s robots fighting robots! This is better than any Transformers movie even if it comes from the director of Date Night and Night at the Museum one and two.
Here’s the official word:
Hugh Jackman plays Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.
As for the trailer…it’s kind of wicked even if Hugh Jackman seems to be channelling Jerry Maguire.
