REAL STEEL GEARING UP FOR A SEQUEL

Wait, people actually went in droves to see this already, thereby justifying any & all future production costs? Pardon me while I slip on my tri-corner hat of cynicism but, tonight, it seems like Hollywood's doubling down on "dumb". That said, I actually wouldn't be surprised if the movie turned out alright (despite it's Rock Em Sock Em-ocity).

I'm becoming more and more intrigued by this film.  I hope that isn't a dangerous thing.

Come on, it's Shawn Levy. What are the chances? I'd gladly eat my hat if it turns out good but I'm feeling this is as sure a bet as possible.

It's got Jackman and punching robots and an inspirational sports  theme. I wouldn't be surprised if the crowds show up. And because of those elements, it has potential to be entertaining. Only Levy scuttles the hope. I nearly bought a 9.99 Blu at Best Buy to get the flick and a free ticket to this. Nearly.

REAL STEEL? I'll rent it for sure.

And I'll be digging out my TZ set now to check out that ep.

Call me crazy but I really do want to see it. The shot of Jackman sparing with the robot seemed........cool I guess.

Shawn Levy. No sale.

Also, the "class warfare" of punching robots? Forcefeed this guy a plate of fuck.

I'm getting a serious so-stupid-I-gotta-watch-it Showgirls vibe from this thing.

Devin Faraci despises Levy............................and he actually liked the movie enough to look forward to a sequel.  What does that tell you?

It means that I'll probably have to see for myself.
