Compared with the other film such as Transformer which is faster in fighting scenes, “Real Steel” used the slow motion action and it is easy to see the movement.

Although this film is good to watch but it is impossible if there is no weakness aspects. One of them is in the part of the story's ideas.

It is also permitted for children with the supervision from their parents. References: Bradshaw, P. 2011. Real Steel Review [Online].
