ROBOT FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, so I’m an easy target for this film. I love a good robot fight. Based on that criterion alone, this film is a success. It has all the ROBOT FIGHT I need.
All right, that’s why I like it. Why will you:
If you hated Rocky IV you may want to skip this film. Its that type of movie. You know where it’s going the whole time; the way there is just fun. If I had to describe this film without using the words ROBOT FIGHT I’d say its Over the Top meets Rocky IV without ever having to listen to Sly talk (I love you Sly but still).
Also the near future world is surprisingly well thought out. What’s among the first 10 things rednecks would do if there were affordable large fighting robots? Robot vs. Bull! Clearly beating on farm animals is the bottom of the fight game, but you can’t tell me it wouldn’t happen.
And bucking the trend in this type of family film; the kid isn’t even that annoying. It’s hard to be annoyed by him since Hugh Jackman quasi tortures him for the first part of the movie. But he does a good job not being an annoying pussy (like Rocky’s kid in Over the Top).
Hot women? Check. They keep their clothes on for the most part but there’s a hot bad one and a hot good one so most bases are covered.
Topless Wolverine? Yes ladies, yes.
And… ROBOT FIGHT!!!!!!!
It’s literally like someone watched the robot fighting league from Futurama and decided to make a serious version of it.
Very worth seeing in the theater.
