What makes real steel pg 13

Although this film has a know-it-all child, how does he differ from many other similar characters? In what ways does he show his dependence on adults? How does he help his father step up to the responsibilities of adulthood? What positive things happen in their relationship?

Both offerings include:. Another father reassesses the direction of his life when he discovers he has a daughter in the more family friendly movie The Game Plan. And a young boy befriends a metal man in Iron Giant. The sport of boxing has enjoyed cinematic immortality in the Rocky franchise. Real Steel Parent Guide Considering the age of the child protagonist and his appeal to young viewers, it's too bad film editors couldn't have punched out of few of the profanities in favor of a more family friendly bout.

However, any commercial reproduction of anything appearing within this site is both illegal and in really bad taste and we will take action It's enough to know that Charlie gets beaten up badly and becomes very concerned for Max's safety as a result, without having to actually see it happen.

Also, any scene between Charlie and Bailey is a good time to go, as their pretty chaste romance is entirely incidental, so missing a scene or two of it won't affect anyone's enjoyment of the film. I don't think so. I saw it on a regular screen, and it was perfectly adequate to the task. The special effects are good, but not beautiful not that they're intended to be , so I don't see a lot of point in seeing them blown up to a bigger size.

Thankfully, and refreshingly, there is no 3D version of the film available! Do I have to sit through the credits for a bonus scene at the end? No, nor is there anything terribly interesting to watch while the end credits roll. I was a bit surprised, incidentally, that Real Steel actually has opening credits, with a song playing over them and everything, while we watch Charlie drive his truck down empty roads. Does it seem odd to anyone else that it's now unusual for a movie to have opening credits, when it used to be unheard of for them not to?

It's pretty loud -- there's a lot of crowd noise and, oh yeah, big steel robots punching each other. If you or your kids are sensitive to really loud sounds, I recommend bringing earplugs just in case. A lot will depend on how the particular theater you go to adjusts their sound system, so I can't say for sure you'll need them, but if it's as loud as it was for the preview screening I saw, you probably will.

The action figures based on the robots are pretty cool, so if they're at all into robots and I'd guess most geek kids are , they will probably want them. If they're anything like my kids, they'll probably want them whether or not they actually see the movie, though, so I don't advise figuring that into a decision whether or not to see it.
