Absolutely Fantastic

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I can remember it was always on just after I got home from school. Now it has moved to another channel and a near-morning afternoon kids show. When I saw it I always liked the computer effects and some of the okay, sometimes corny, but alright characters. There was obviously Max, the most kind-of corny character of the show. The one character that wasn't so corny when I used to watch it was Psycho (or Smiley to Max). He was the robot covered with human skin who almost always took his face off to reveal his smiling robot face, which is why Max called him Smiley. Every episode Psycho was in was a good one. But apart from him, it was pretty much the same thing every episode. Max battles a guy with some power to his arms or something, wow, great. Not! Yeah, kids will like it. Okay!

Just as I love Action Man, Max Steel is equally impressive. Both shows have made me fans of the toy lines. The stories are fun, but as is the case with cutting edge technology, kids and adults alike will be attracted to the animation. This is the same computer generated imaging used for movies like Toy Story and Antz, but with human beings and more dramatic adventure. On regular tv, no less!!!! Just like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, and Superman and Captain Marvel, the similarities between Max Steel and Action Man are so obvious, that I wonder why no lawsuits have been filed. Anyhoo, this show( and Action Man) inspires me to learn more about computers and mathematics; why, I don't know...

Supposedly following in the footsteps of the computer generated shows by the Canadian Mainframe Entertainment, Max Steel makes it mark as the WB's first CGI show. Though t started out a little rough around the edges, Max Steel has improved greatly from its humble beginnings. It revolves around Josh McGrath, aka Max Steel, a young man possessing superhuman abilities. At first glance, this may look to be a children's show, but if you keep an open mind and generally enjoy cartoons, adults will like this too.

Almost everyone I know would never have even realized Max Steel exists if I hadn't gone around more or less waving banners and using loud-speakers. Even then, they still don't really care. Most people give me a blank look when I start talking about Max Steel. It's depressing to not be able to talk with someone who understands.
