Real Steel" is the story of one underdog robot and another robot. They don't like each other too much so they decide to fight, but not just anywhere. They do it in the ring.

They even hire humans to manage them to victory. Who better to manage a fighter than "Wolverine" himself, Hugh Jackman?

Jackman's character is a retired underdog boxer himself so he knows what it takes to get to the top. Oh, and he has a son he abandoned who wants to help.

The movie is forgivably mindless with its "rock ‘em sock ‘em" action! (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

All joking aside, that's the main gist of "Real Steel."

Surprisingly, they explore some back story between Jackman and his on-screen son. It's not too interesting, but it gives you a nice break between all the robot fighting.

It's the potential summer blockbuster that they managed to release in October. Its soundtrack backs this up with a rock/rap mix that takes you back to the summer time.

To wrap it all up, "Real Steel" can be a little childish at times, but you'll still enjoy it. It isn't the greatest movie in release, but it does a good job at pleasing kids, along with their parents. It's funny, cute and packed full of action.

Check your brain at the box office and you'll be sure to have a little fun.
