So much average

Admirable film.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This really could have been fun if they had payed any attention to character development, but they did not. I you like a "teenage" boy, with a mans body, who spends more than half of the film, screaming like a little girl, this is the movie for you!

This could have been a great super hero film, the visuals are there, they are really really great. But the story was just so slow and not well explained. One of the main characteristics of a super hero movie, specially when it comes to the ''introduction'' movie, it's the whole suit thing, like there's some excitment to knowing the suit the hero is going to wear. Here, literally he suddenly appears with the suit, we don't know how or why he got it, there's just too many things left unexplained. There's also not enough Max Steel, the vast majority is him running as a normal teenager. They also could have done much better with the relationship between Max and Steel. The villain development was super weak as well. This had great potential.

Movie 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.

My only reference of Max Steel were the shelves full of toys I had occasionally seen in shopping malls. In other words: I didn't know anything about this character. However, I still had the impression that I had already seen the film Max Steel, because the screenplay is a laughable pastiche of clichés and scenes recycled uncountable times in cinema and TV. There isn't the slightest trace of originality, ingenuity or the most minimum effort to do something interesting with the premise of Max Steel: a typical misunderstood young man who ends up being "special", and discovers his potential with the help of a mysterious entity, while being chased by anonymous agents of an uncertain origin. The main character is a bad copy of Peter Parker; the extraterrestrial robot Steel is unfunny and hateful; and Dr. Miles Edwards is a typical generic villain. I'm sorry! Have I just accidentally revealed who the villain is? Believe me, from his first scene, it's obvious that Edwards hides something; even before seeing him in person, we can guess he's the villain, due to the elegant car parked outside the house in which the main character and his mother live. In conclusion, don't waste your time with this piece of junk. I even doubt that the fans of the toys while find anything to enjoy in this horrible confection.
