... View MoreI'm baffled by some reviewers claiming that the ratings would be unfair, because they'd ignore the movie's limited budget.Let's see what Max Steel has to offer: Bad acting (Andy Garcia, wtf happened to you?). Bad script ("I have a brilliant plan to beat the villain! It's exactly the same someone else had previously! The villain will never see it coming!"). Dumb characters, who can't think straight forward for even a second. Annoying sidekick(s) with incredibly bad humor. At least I understand why the main character avoids listening to them. All fighting scenes are a f***ing joke. Max Steele is pure trash and that's all.
... View MoreMovie was trash. Seemed very rushed. Plot not explained well. Special effects were good, however everything else just ruins the film. The romance in this film seemed very stretched. Too much of a reach. We all know films love to get that romance between two characters who barely know each other but this one was just far too cringe worthy. Very disappointed with this film, was not able to finish watching it.
... View MoreI just saw Max Steel. It's not a masterpiece. It's very predictable, very CGI driven, and not always thought out all the way through. And still, it's a very charming coming of age story with the sci-fi comics element serving as an enhancement of teen age issues. So the coming of age problems of finding who you really are, who are your parents and who are your friends, all get extra dimensions.The moment you see this movie, and the comics it's based on under this light, you'll enjoy it much more. The action scenes arriving mostly toward the end of the movie are more of a plot device accelerating the pace of the story while still making sense - inside the world constructed in the movie. This way we get to the very predictable conclusion in a reasonable time and without wasting long minutes on some more identity crisis and teen age angst.Technically it's all very professional, the actors do their share, most of them don't shine too brightly but they all get the job done. If you don't expect something else, you'll get some cute fun.
... View MoreI often watch low budget, generic action adventure films and find them predictable but mildly amusing. Unfortunately Max steel did nothing for me. The plot seemed to come out of no where and there was never a sense of impending doom or the world's end. The character development was lacking, with no real depth to Max, steel, his love interest or the main villain.The action was slow, uninteresting and uncommon. Max was only in his suit one time and all we saw was a bit of mediocre Karate.If you are looking for a action adventure film, I think that any of the Marvel series will entertain you more than this. If comic book heroes isn't your thing, then something like Hancock or the hunger games are definitely more entertaining than this. I feel bad for being so harsh as i know a lot of work goes into every film, but unfortunately Max Steel missed the mark in every aspect, it reminds me of spy kids to be honest.If you do decide to watch, just sit back, enjoy and don't think to much about it. As analyzing this film will give you no joy.
