From its thinly sketched teen protagonist to its deluge of hero-will-rise clichés, Max Steel evinces all of the imagination and ambition you’d expect from a movie based on a bestselling line of action figures.

Unfortunately, as four Transformers movies weren't enough, once again we are met in a world where a mysterious alien named Steel who is closely stuck together with a 16-year old named Max McGrath. Sounds completely interesting right? UntilUnfortunately, as four Transformers movies weren't enough, once again we are met in a world where a mysterious alien named Steel who is closely stuck together with a 16-year old named Max McGrath. Sounds completely interesting right? Until they merge together, which in this case, that's where they stop bringing the originality bag in action, instead forcing us to deal with whatever's on screen and leave with minor disappointment and a big, major meh. Pass on this one while you can. Expand

A new kid on the block with the superpower.

I am not saying the film was terrible, but the timing was bad. There are loads of great sci-fi films were made recently and still coming out. So to compete with them, they have to go through
A new kid on the block with the superpower.

I am not saying the film was terrible, but the timing was bad. There are loads of great sci-fi films were made recently and still coming out. So to compete with them, they have to go through alteration, even if they loose the origins of their film's theme concept. This story is same as many similar themed flicks. For me, it looked like a mini Superman film, but made for kids.

The best thing about it was, keeping everything simple. And then the pace, which actually somewhat saved the film. I hooked to it from the beginning till the conclusion, but familiarity is what killed my interest and entertainment. The characters were okay, not developed well enough. But keeping young audience in mind, it does good. Because going deep is unnecessary stretch.

The story of a high school boy who transferred back to a small town where has born. As he begins to hear a lot about his father from the local people, he becomes motivated to know more about him. But one day when something goes wrong, the next day he wakes up with great power. Not knowing how to handle it, he befriends with an unusual creature and together they fight those who are after them.

Initially I thought it was related to 'Real Steel', but realised only while watching it it is completely different. From the director of 'Sorority Row', I think he did nothing wrong. Those who watch less films would enjoy it better. Visually okay, with all those graphics. Since it is PG13, I would say the target audience is the little ones. So from their perspective, it is acceptable. But I warn the grownups, stay away, or be like them while watching it, in order to get entertained.

5/10
