Shawn Levy's Real Steel is a genuine crowd...
When it comes to embracing a movie as superficially stupid as Shawn Levy's Real Steel, liking to loving it is almost like going through the stages of grief. Watching talented performers like Hugh Jackman, Evangeline Lilly, and newcomer Dakota Goyo make you invest in the tale of a boy and his robot boxer does lead to denial ("wait, how can I like a Shawn Levy Movie...
Hugh Jackman was - at first - the replacement Wolverine. Stepping in for the contractually tied-up Dougray Scott, Jackman got the key role in the X-Men franchise that would come to define his career.

The first trailer for Shawn Levy's latest film Real Steel has been released. It stars Hugh Jackman and centers on giant boxing robots. With a combination like that, what else is there to know?
