the leading man is my tpye

Just so...so bad

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I recommend the film Steel. Let me explain: I'm in my mid 20s. Back in the day, back in 1997 we didn't have your high falutin Dark Knights, hell, our Batman was 1997s blockbuster success but lame even for a first grader Batman and Robin (which actually should have been titled "Batman and Robin and Batgirl"). Steel was, to a seven 7 year old, better, yes BETTER than BATMAN. WHY? Because Batman had Robin. Steel had a hammer that shot a lasergun. Batman had that old fuddy duddy Alfred. Steel had SHAFT. Batman had glow in the dark gangstas of uncertain ethnicity. Steel had, according to Warner Brothers and auteur writer director Kenneth Johnson himself: "To aid with the urban aspects of the dialog Johnson took a copy of the script to South Central Los Angeles and spent a day with a group of kids to ensure that the language of some of the characters was more believable". Batman had respectable actor George Clooney and his awesome chin. Steel had athelete, health-advocate, successful gangsta rapper (and minor comedic actor) Shaquille O'Neal, known to the world as SHAQ! By the way, Shaq is a NYPD POLICE DETECTIVE IN REAL LIFE, which probably added to his nuances in his performance as the modern day knight in shining armor John Henry Irons, (THE FIRST IRON MAN?) STEEL! (steel) STEEL! YOURSELF. (yourself)Peace out.

Uncle Joe: Well dip me in sh__t and roll me in breadcrumbs.Without question, 'Steel' is in the running for worst film ever made. However, it is a fun movie to watch to make fun of. You'll be laughing hysterically, but not as the filmmakers intended. Shaquille O'Neal's acting skills are kind of like Adolf Hitler's morals. They're seriously lacking. This movie does have some classic one liners like "Y'all stay cool now." a line Shaq delivers to a couple of old people he returns a stolen purse to, and my personal favorite, "Well, dip me in sh__t and roll me in breadcrumbs!". I highly recommend 'Steel' if you need a good laugh. I think I laughed harder during this than I did during 'Borat'. Grade: F

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I know that it didn't follow the story of steel from the comic books, but I didn't care. This movie had a very good message. As big and bad as steel was his friends and the community supported him and this is really what made him a hero. I enjoy watching Shaq. He is a good human being on and off the basketball court, and I enjoy this movie every time I see it. When I first saw the advertisements I thought it wouldn't be very good because it didn't following the the story from the comic books, but I realized there's nothing that says they should. The tools that Steel uses are inventive and clever. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys action movies not just fans of Steel from the comic books. :).

I do get angry when a movie is unjustly slated and I am angry now. What some people should appreciate is that some movies are not made in order to give us an insight into the meaning of life. They are just there to be enjoyed. I enjoyed Steel. It is a good movie about making a difference, a moral movie without any pretensions of grandeur. If someone said to me that the makers of this movie had the same kind of budget as those who made X-men for instance, then I would certainly of expected more. But I am sure they did not and made the best of what they had. Okay Shaq is no Olivier but so what!! At least he was prepared to give it a go and I think he did okay. All the actors did. To conclude I liked the movie Steel and if it was available to purchase in the UK and would buy it. Please do not watch a movie having prejudged it, be practical and know that there are limitations and not all film producers have big budgets. This movie was well told, and the actors did the job.
