Well I didn't really follow the Inception thread here when the movie was still on, so I didn't have any ideas of how many here liked or did not like it. Yet majority of my movie-loving friends lauded it as a great movie.

Hugh Jackman did a great job in Real Steel as his character is supposed to be annoying and he portrayed that well. The whole Real Steel movie is nothing more than a sports + dad-son bonding movie with a predictable ending.

Speaking of dad-son bonding movies, two HK movies came to mind...

One's a classic,


And the other one's quite light hearted and funny.


And I felt more emotionally engaged in both of them than Real Steel.
