REVIEW - Real Steel

A bit of a lazy (for me) kid pleaser, albeit a few weeks late.

Hugh Jackman plays a struggling robot boxing promoter, accompanied for the summer by his estranged kid who's so annoyingly-named Dakota Goyo he needs 3 rounds in the ring with one of his dad's fighters.

They tour the fight circuit getting the rivets knocked out of their robot until the kid teaches dad enough lessons in life to turn his luck around and fight like a good 'un.

It's as hackneyed a story as has ever been told, but the element of fun makes it watchable. Just.
